==History==
During the last Ice Age most of the islands of the Cyclades were united into a big landmass. After the sea level rose in ca. 9,000 B.C. the Aegean flooded the landmass to form the many small islands and acquire its modern form.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ime.gr/chronos/01/en/nl/housing/gr_geom.html )〕 The Lesser Cyclades are inhabited since the Stone Age. The islands flourished during early Bronze Age, when the Cycladic culture appeared. The island of Keros was one of the major sites of Cycladic culture and has given its name to Early Cycladic II period of Cycladic culture, known as Keros-Syros culture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fhw.gr/chronos/02/islands/en/intro/eb/index2.html )〕 The islands continued to be populated thereafter. On the islands, mainly Schoinousa and Irakleia there are ruins from classical antiquity and the Roman period. In medieval and modern times the islands suffered from piracy. Therefore, sometimes the islands were depopulated and were colonised again by shepherds from Amorgos. Since the 11th century most of the islands of the Lesser Cyclades were given as property to the Hozoviotissa Monastery in Amorgos.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.smallcyclades.com/cyclades-history-culture.asp )〕 The monastery even today retains large areas in the islands as ts property.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cycladesvoice.gr/?aid=22170 )〕 The islands today have been developed as popular tourist destination. They are famous for their serene and tranquil life.
