Syros, Greece. One of the Cyclades’ islands in the Aegean Sea, Syros is less known than Santorini – the better for those craving for a quiet destination. Less tourists ensure more authentic Greek holiday, but there is still plenty to do and see. The visitors experience Greek hospitality, which dissipates in the busier islands likeSantorini or Mykonos.
Syros has a very old history, reaching back to Antiquity, and is even mentioned in the Odyssey. There are a lot of historic buildings and churches, that can be explored by wandering in a web of narrow streets. Sandy beaches and clear warm water offer a pleasant relaxation. And in the capital Ermoupoli and its neighborhood you can find fresh food and tasty local specialties.
