Syros is a typically Cycladic island with white washed cubic Cycladic houses and long sandy beaches. In the main town of Ermoupoli the grand neoclassical town hall stands in a stately square, surrounded by pavement cafes. Higher up the hill, an intricate network of narrow medieval streets wind up to the Catholic Cathedral Of St George.

The largest resort is Galissas. Here there is a long sandy beach with clean water, great for swimming and snorkelling.

The Cyclades Islands are great for sailing and Syros is no exception. You can also come to Syros by plane from Athens Airport or by ferry from Piraeus or Rafina.
