Syros

A cute town that our cruise ship stopped at for the day. Lots of small shops and restaurants located throughout the town. The harbor is beautiful and imagine more so at night.

The island is incredible! The water is crystal clear, and places like Ermopouli and Kini are easily accessible by bus. Kini beach has beautiful sparkling sand and great food.

Syros has magical bays & crystal clear sea. Swimming there has been amazing. All private enterprises in Ermoupoli and other villages are amazing, shops & restaurants offer great food and lovely decor & ambience.. however the island municipality does nothing for its residents or tourists. Not enough buses, not enough taxis, the roads are not clean, even the main square in Ermoupoli (which is beautiful), you walk on dirt, there isn't a single metre that is clean. The lack of taxis is a serious problem, walking around isn't easy at all. Also, the rubbish isn't collected ofte enough. Finally, also very important, there's no shade provided on beaches, the heat is absolutely unbearable, there should be thousands of umbrellas on all the beaches provided free of charge by the town hall. You have to fight for shade under a tree, where lots of other people are, it's crowded and uncomfortable. We negotiated sun beds and umbrella with a hotel, the deal being we would buy breakfast and lunch from them every day. The island offers no services to tourists at all.

Beautiful place, amazing beaches, great customer, it was my favorite island in Greece... we loved Syros

Very nice island, the port area full of small streets with shops, bars and restaurants, Beautiful beaches, to discover more the island you can rent a scooter

I was there with cruise, nice town!

Only the center where the marina is located is beautiful and it only takes a few hours to see. There is no need to stay a night in this island. Also the beaches are very windy and hard to swim. The beaches are mediocre with no toilets and facilities although you pay around 30-50 euros a set of umbrellas.

My favourite island for winter and summer holidays! Ermoupoli the capital of Syros is a Neoclassical architecture monument. Lovely ancient unmediated landscape and a medieval walled monument city of Ano Syros. Great food, lots if lovely contemporary stores, elegant establishments. Need to visit for 5-10 days to get a taste of the while island especially in the summer! All photos are from Ermoupoli this winter!
