A Greek island ideal for a family vacation!
Syros is a very popular island among families and couples, and the architecture and beautiful streets of cities are one of its main assets.
The island of Syros in Greece belongs to the group of Cyclades, and its authentic style combined with a peaceful atmosphere make it an ideal place for tourists looking for a less-visited destination than neighboring islands such as Santorini, Mykonos, or Paros.
The island of Syros has its own airport, where mostly planes from domestic air traffic land, and surely the most popular way to get to the island is by ferry from Athens, and it is mostly preferred by everyone. Syros is also connected by ferry with other islands, Amorgos, Patmos, Naxos, Tinos, Samos, and Crete, so it is possible to reach it from different directions.
Syros is a very popular island among families and couples, and the architecture of cities is one of its main assets. This island has the most representative Cycladic architecture, as well as the most beautiful because it combines Cycladic and Venetian culture and tradition. Colorful palaces, neoclassical buildings, imposing churches, and small squares create the landscape of the real Greece that we find only on postcards.
The largest city is Ano Syros. It was created for walks, and its white houses and narrow streets only enhance the romantic impression. Everything is in harmony here, wonderfully sunlit by the Mediterranean sun, which is kind to everything, which is why the locals are friendly and kind.
The coast of the island is bordered by beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear sea, the most popular of which are on the south side. The best coasts are Kini and Galissas, and there is entertainment for all ages.
One interesting thing should be singled out, apart from the rich history, the most interesting thing on the island is the lokum (Turkish delight), which is everywhere at every step. Why is lokum sold on every corner of Syros? Lokum is made right here, on Syros, perhaps the best and most famous in that part of Europe. This is where the legend of the famous Greek natural Viagra originated, that is, a specific and very tasty lokum made of honey and walnuts…
