Syros – is one of the most densely populated and developed islands of the Cyclades archipelago. It is an important crossroads of ferry routes, so in the main port of the island of Ermoupolis (incidentally, taken under the protection of UNESCO) there is always bustle and confusion. But it is worth moving a few kilometers away from the city, as the picture changes dramatically, the pace of life slows down, and charming snow-white villages appear in front of your eyes, immersed in the greenery of olive groves. The Greeks love to visit the island and often acquire real estate here. There are lots of foreign tourists here too, who are attracted by picturesque beaches, clear sea and local color.
Galissas is the most popular tourist resort of Syros, located in a protected bay on the west coast of the island. The beach has been awarded the EU Blue Flag Award, which guarantees the purity and safety of its waters. But not only these factors attract tourists and locals, Galissas is a place with an excellent selection of hotels, apartments, bars, restaurants and various entertainment in the immediate vicinity of the beach.
Agathopes is an amazing blessed piece of land surrounded by the sea, and white lilies bloom on the sand next to the sun loungers, covering most of the beach in summer. But not only this miracle attracts tourists. Every spring, the monk seals listed in the Red Book are visited on the golden sand of the amazing coast to give birth to their offspring.
Megas Gialos Beach is considered to be quite large and is located in the southern part of the island of Syros. The distance to the capital is very small and totals only 12 km, which can easily be overcome in almost 20 minutes. This is a long, but narrow and picturesque resort area. There is practically no wind here, the coast is reliably protected by its natural southern location, the water is crystal clear and easy to get to, therefore the beach area is loved by many guests and locals. The most convenient way to get to this resort is by bus.
Finikas Beach is a combination of the serene sea and beautiful scenery. And the EU Blue Flag Award guarantees the purity and safety of its waters. Over the past few years, the small village of Finikas has become one of the best resorts on the island of Syros with a developed infrastructure, while maintaining the charm of a quiet and cozy town with a magnificent beach.
Possidonia is a small cozy harbor located on the very road on the southwest coast of Syros. The small territory is surrounded by luxurious old-style mansions that have well preserved their original appearance, and from the shore there is a gorgeous view of the neighboring islands and the Aegean Sea.
