Arriving in Syros

Syros is the administrative capital of the Cyclades and one of the easiest islands to reach, with reliable daily ferries from Piraeus all year round and onward connections toward Mykonos. Ships dock right in the heart of Ermoupoli, a city unlike anything else in the Aegean: a miniature Athens of neoclassical mansions, marble squares and the Apollo Theatre, modeled on Milan's La Scala. Above the harbour, the medieval Catholic quarter of Ano Syros winds up its hill in a maze of stepped lanes. In the elegant Vaporia district, shipowners' mansions rise straight from the sea, and cafes serve the island's famous loukoumi and halvadopita sweets. A real working island that lives all year, Syros offers genuine urban charm alongside its Cycladic beaches.

Uniquely among Greek islands, the ferry quay sits right in the centre of Ermoupoli, so you step off the ship straight onto the capital's waterfront, minutes on foot from hotels, restaurants and the main square. The port is served by reliable daily ferries from Piraeus throughout the year, and connections toward Mykonos make Syros an easy first stop on a Cycladic itinerary.
