Location

Syros Island combines culture, entertainment, and religion in the most harmonious way. It used to be one of the most significant islands in Cycladic civilization. From the cosmopolitan grace of Ermoupoli and the mix of medieval and Cycladic charm in Ano Syros to the traditional villages and settlements scattered throughout the island, as well as the rugged beauty of Apano Meria in the north, every day you spend in Syros will be different. Nowadays, the island is world-renowned for its rich cultural traditions, with events that take place in Ermoupoli, such as the International Classical Music Festival of Cyclades, Animasyros International Animation Festival, and Ermoupoleia Cultural Festival, which offer a range of options for every visitor to experience.

Syros is one of the most fascinating and welcoming Greek islands. It features both Orthodox and Catholic churches and is one of the few places in the world where Easter is always celebrated on the same day. The island offers a wide variety of sea activities and beautiful beaches to enjoy, as well as a rich and delicious cuisine. The famous halvadopita (nougat pie), loukoumia—small cubes made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch, offered in various scents and flavors—the cold meats louza and maratholoukanika, and the PDO cheese San Michali will tempt even the most discerning palate.
