Syros holidays
Syros Island In a Nutshell
Syros is quite different to the other Cycladic islands. Think a Venetian harbour meets Greece..
About Syros island
Syros Island combines culture, entertainment and religion in the most harmonious way. It used to be one of the most significant islands in cycladic civilisation. Nowadays, the island is world-renowned for its rich cultural tradition with events that take place in Ermoupolis, the island’s capital.
Azolimnos is a waterside hamlet on the northeast side of the island with a golden sandy beach, the nearest one to Ermoupolis (5km) and among the most famous of the island.
The most renowned village on Syros is by far Posidonia (aka Delagratsia) located 13 km from Ermoupoli. Don’t miss out on seeing the stately neoclassical houses with their manicured gardens - once vacation homes of the wealthiest families on the island.
Our Syros hotels range from Venetian Grandeur townhouses to beachside boutique hotels such as the Benois Hotel in Galissas.
Our holidays to Syros feature small boutique hotels and self-catering apartments - all authentic and true to their Syros island roots. Our Syros Greece holidays operate mainly via Mykonos - the nearest international airports and just a short 30min ferry ride away. Syros island holidays can be combined with Mykonos and Tinos.
