Syros Greece, Cyclades: A collection of pictures in the island of Syros

The Cycladic island of Syros is industrial at first sight, but its beautiful capital, its undeveloped beaches and its authentic Greek atmosphere change the first impression.

The capital of the island is called Ermoupolis and is the main attraction of Syros. It is the largest town of the Cyclades and the capital of the archipelago.

Numerous imposing and superb buildings are embellishing the town, remind of the glorious past of the island, when it was Greece’s chief port.

The old part of the town is also very interesting to visit.

The beaches in Syros are scattered on its western and southern coasts. The two best beaches of the island are located in the Bay of Galissas (on the western coast), near the village of the same name.

The main beach is the sandy beach of Galissas, which can be very crowded during high season. The nearby nudist beach of Armeos is a tiny and beautiful place, with a peaceful atmosphere.

Water sports lovers will find everything they need on the beach of Finikas.
More beaches and small coves are available in Syros.
