Through its position and significance, the island of Syros is not only the centre of the Cyclades but also the seat of government. The main town of Ermoupoli with its imposing buildings is extremely impressive. Archaeological discoveries from the pre-Cyclade civilisation are traces of an eventful past. Masterpieces of Byzantinian art and mediaeval castles rival with secluded sandy beaches, the turquoise blue sea and the lively hustle and bustle of the harbour town Ermoupoli. Syros is an island without mass tourism. Those looking for peace and culture won`t be disappointed by this jewel of an island.

Getting there: Charter/schedule flight to Athens with connecting flight to Syros, high-speed boat to Syros.
