Syros

Syros, a floating oasis

Half Orthodox, half Catholic. Half neoclassical, half Cycladic. Half cosmopolitan, half wild and secluded. Syros combines all contrasts of the Greek landscape in the most magnificent way. The capital of Cyclades is a vibrant island, offering the best holiday experience all year round.
