The grace and beauty of Syros Greece originate not only from its stunning coasts and waters but also from its astounding historical heritage. Syros marries the beautiful Cycladic architecture with the western European allure, in a tremendous combination that impresses everyone lucky enough to visit. Ermoupoli, the largest city, and capital of the island whisper its history through the beautiful neoclassical buildings that constitute it.

Syros was probably the first most important trade and industrial center of Greece during the 19th century. There are numerous historical buildings as evidence of this glorious past, including the City Hall, the Apollo theater, and the Customs Office. However, the island does not lack in physical beauty either: Its beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear waters are decorated with neoclassical mansions and colorful orchards that lie nearby. In between the internationally acclaimed music festivals that take place in the island and the wide range of clubs and bars in the city, visitors have the chance to enjoy and appreciate the vivid nightlife of Syros. Last but not least the Syrian cuisine offers some incredible treats, such as the Halva pie, loukoumi, and the San Mihalis spicy cheese.
