An extensive and extremely interesting series of exhibitions have been organised on the Cyclades islands this year by the Cyclades Ephorate of Antiquities, according to ANA.

the occasion of the founding of the tomb of Agia Thekla in Tinos, we have the first
exhibition for an unknown period of the Cyclades, the Mycenaean period, presenting
great and unknown material,” he added. However, the exhibition on Ano Koufonissi is
also very important, he added, as “unique discoveries from Keros and Daskalio are
revealed for the first time.”
