beaches

Finikas Beach Syros: The beach of Finikas is placed to the south-west coast of Syros island, 11 km from Ermoupouli town. Finikas beach has the shape of a small bay and its port is the second largest in Syros, after the port of Ermoupolis. Many fishing boats and yachts dock at Foinikas port, because it is sheltered from the northern summer winds, called "meltemia", which are so common in the Aegean islands. Many accommodation options are found close to the beach and have great view to the sea and the countryside of Syros. Many seaside taverns offer delicious fish food at reasonable prices. You can go to the beach by bus from Ermoupolis.

Galissas Beach Syros: Galissas is the most popular beach resort on the island of Syros, located approximately 5 km from Ermoupolis, the island's capital town. It is actually a small bay; the waters are safe, thus ideal for families with small kids. The seashore is golden sandy and short trees along the coast provide some sort of shade. The beach has been awarded the EU Blue Flag award, which assures the cleanness of its waters. Windsurfing is a very popular activity on this resort and there are also chances to practice other water sports. Many accommodation options also lay by the seaside as well as traditional taverns, cafes and beach bars. Another beach, Armeos beach, is within a walking distance from Galissas and can be reached following a narrow path, after you pass the church of Agia Pakou.

Formerly known as Della Grazia by the Catholic Church of Madonna de la Gratsia, the settlement was eventually named after ancient Posidonia dedicated to the god Poseidon as the aristocratic resort of Syros. Until this day the settlement is dominated by holiday villas with turrets and gardens traveling visitors to the glamour of a bygone era while the Orthodox Church of St. John, St. Peter’s Catholic Church, Agathopes with the sea lilies, the beaches Fetouri, Voulgari and Komito as well as the tennis court and Club attract numerous tourists especially during the summer months. Posidonia is located in Foinikas Bay, just 10 km from Hermoupoli.

The coastal settlement of Megas Gialos is a magnet for travelers as it brilliantly combines a scenic atmosphere with easy access and a wide range of hotels as well as rooms for rent. Just 12 km from the town of Ermoupoli, between Vari and Poseidonia travelers are invited to discover the small beaches of the village one after another, swim at the beach with the golden sand, visit the Catholic Church of “Agia Thekla”, the chapel of St. Anthony and the quiet beach Abela.

VISITOR “Yiannis the American” (John H. Pearson), who found joy in reforestation, spent many years of his life in Old Cave, planting trees. He passed away on September 14, 2001, and as per his wishes, his ashes were scattered in his favorite place.you can go there hiking or sailing. No comfort at all but a great experience. There is many others wild beaches in north Syros, more remote. A very great experience in my opinion, but don t forget to take water with you.

Prekas delicatessen. http://www.prekasyros.gr/ A must. Located in the covered market, near Place Miaouli. Glyko tou koutaliou, honey oil, cheeses Go there to buy San michali, Turkish delights or local wine. There is good production thanks to visionary Syriotes, such as Ousyra or Fabrika wine, for example. There is also tsipouro ( 5 years old, 10 years old, with or without aromatic herbs....) The difference between raki, tsipouro and tsikoudia? Ask the specialists. if you want to extend your taste palette beyond ouzo. Syros is proud of its local propucts Moreover one of the graffiti on the walls of the district says it: η Σύρος έχει στυλ that is to say Syros has class. It's true :) https://www.syrosisland.gr/traditional-products/

Markos Vamvakaris exhibition : A voice perfectly intertwined with the “rebetiko” style of music succeeded in familiarizing all Greeks with the beauties of Syros with the most beloved song “Fragosyriani” thus showing his love for his homeland. To honor the works of this exceptional songwriter the people of Syros founded the Markos Vamvakaris Exhibition in a renovated but traditional home in the heart of Ano Syros so as to take visitors back in time through the voice, the lyrics and the life lead by this beloved “rempeti”, through his personal belongings, his photos, manuscripts and clothing through a half-hour documentary showcasing his life in the basement of the museum. From the bust in his honor found on the homonymous square all the way to the museum a great tribute has been paid to this “Patriarch” of Rembetika music

Saint George is the Catholic diocese of Syros. Built in 1200 on the highest point of the hill of Ano Syros it has undergone numerous renovations and reconstructions over the years, the latest being that of the Tinian architect Chatzisimos. It is a large complex including the Church, the Bell Tower, the baptistery, the sacristy, the hospitality room, the historical archive building, the Episcopal Palace and an abandoned house. The Cathedral is a three-aisled Basilica with marble columns. Statues of Saints by Italian sculptors of the 18th century dominate the entrance while on the inside visitors will certainly be impressed by the wood-carvings and marble flooring inspired by a Tinian sculptor.

The archeological museum of Syros is housed in the impressive and imposing building of the Town Hall of Hermoupolis. There, among Early Cycladic and Byzantine exhibits, sculptures and inscriptions you can see objects of everyday use of the Cycladic civilization that the island inhabitant used three thousand years ago. Right next to the Town Hall, at the Cultural Center of the Municipality, there is the Museum of Cycladic Art hosting faithful copies of Goulandris’ Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens. Of course, this meeting with history is not to be missed!

The Church of St. Nicholas is a magnificent Byzantine Church near Miaouli square that began to be manufactured in 1848 according to the designs of G. Metaxas and the consent of King Otto. The church was finally completed in 1870. Saint Nicholas, patron saint of Ermoupoli stands out for its lavish interiors and impressive architectural structure, the icon of St. Nicholas that was silver-plated in Moscow, the despotic marble throne, the pulpit and the marble iconostasis that was designed by George Vitali. This is a two-storied monumental temple with marble bell towers, an imposing marble staircase and marble propylaeums, ionic columns, archaic motifs, arcades, sculptured decorations, grey-blue slates and a unique iconostasis definitely worth seeing. The church’s icons were created by some of the best hagiographers of the time while many Greeks from abroad as well as ship-owners helped for the construction of the temple

On the outskirts of Hermoupolis on the tops of the two opposite hills of Hermoupolis and Ano Syros, the scenery is dominated by Saint George, the Catholic diocese of Syros (also known as “San Tzortzis”) and the orthodox Byzantine temple, the temple of the Resurrection of the Savior dedicated to “Resurrection of the Nation”. These two imposing temples that are standing so high that give the impression that they literally swing between earth and sky, touching the divine. On the Orthodox Holy Friday, the procession of the catholic epitaph takes place in “San Tzortzis” temple. The sacred tour in Hermoupolis and Ano Syros ends with a visit to the first temple of the island, the Orthodox Metropolitan Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior (1824) and the orthodox church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary or the so-called “Panagia ton Psarianon”. There you can admire an authentic work of Dominikos Theotokopoulos, the homonymous icon of the Assumption of Virgin Mary.

The historic Theater Apollon is one of the major attractions of Syros and constitutes an emblem of the island’s cultural heritage. Created in 1864 by the Italian architect Pietro Sampo who was inspired by 4 stunning Italian standards including the Scala di Milano, the theater Apollon adorns the heart of the capital to this day. The Apollo Theater first opened its doors with an Italian theater troupe that among others performances staged the famous Italian opera La Traviata. Its architectural splendor though did not manage to prevent the major catastrophes that the theater suffered over the years. The Apollon theater was forced to close and to spend a long period of renovations and interventions with funding from the state, with the full support of GNTO and the artistic supervision of Dimitris Fortsas as well as of the architect Peter Pikionis until 2000. Today the theater hosts various artistic and cultural events such as the Festival of the Aegean, famous plays and world-class performances.

Sa or Ai Michalis settlement is located about 11 km northwest of Ermoupoli. It is widely known for producing an excellent cheese by the same name (San Michali or San Michalis). In early antiquity, there was an ancient city in this same location, with a prehistoric water well bearing an inscription indicating the ancient name of the village: Elliniko. Sa Michalis has very few residents and it isn't very popular, but still, it is very beautiful for a walk through its stone paved streets and for a visit to its restaurants where one can taste the local specialties.San michalis is the start of several hikes https://www.hikingteam.gr/en/2008/09/07/san-michali-kastri-halandriani/

Ano Syros was founded in 1200 by the Venetians and continued to be inhabited throughout the course of history while maintaining its Catholic and medieval character. A city characterized by countless steps that pass by the white houses and arches at the edge of the hill leading to the top of the village where the Catholic Cathedral of Saint George is situated. The town was created gradually, amphitheatrically on the rocks like a natural fortress so as to keep its residents safe from several attacks while the exterior walls of all houses formed a natural fort protecting the locals from the raids. The narrow cobblestone streets gave residents the opportunity to hide from the various pirate attacks while the wooden doors in the entrances of Portara, Epano & Kato Terma, Skalakia and Sabastias completely sealed the city from any invasion. Home of the philosopher Pherecydes, Ano Syros was and remains a city with distinct character and identity, a city telling a story through its monuments and historic buildings, through the Historical Archive of Ano Syros, the Exhibition of Traditional Professions and other points of interest such as the bust of the national hero, Don Ioanni Dalezio and the spring of Agios Athanasios. A city with a catholic identity unfolding through the Jesuits and Capuchins monasteries, the Church of Virgin Mary of Karmilou and other Catholic churches. By 2010 Ano Syros was the capital of the municipality while today constitutes the island’s historic base offering a plethora of tourist facilities, restaurants, taverns, cultural landmarks and attractions including the old Castle gate leading to the old town, the bust of the great traditional singer Markos Vamvakaris and the Town Hall. Ano Syros is just 3.5 km away from the port of Ermoupolis, a distance worth covering on foot.

Miaouli square is the historic square of Syros featuring architectural marvels that blend into a dreamy landscape of the 19th century with buildings that testify the existence of a great civilization. It is worth visiting the Town Hall inspired from Ziller that has been giving a special character to the area since 1898 with its impressive staircase of 15.5 meters width, the club that houses the cultural center since 1863 and the historical archives of Syros in a building situated next to the Town Hall. Of course the square also features the statue of the admiral from the war of independence Andreas Miaoulis. After several other names that preceded such as square Othonos and Leotsakou the square was finally named in honor of the admiral. An impressive music stage with embossed drawings of Apollo and the muses transformed the space into the ultimate meeting point of the island. Today the square is the heart of the political, social and cultural life of the island and the ideal choice for walks and coffee breaks at the surrounding coffee shops.
