Megas Gialos beach
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.

When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.
