3Syros – For Culture and Neoclassical Grandeur

Looking for something different than just sea and sand? Syros offers a blend of Greek island beauty and cosmopolitan culture. The capital, Ermoupoli, is one of the most elegant towns in the Aegean, with pastel neoclassical buildings, marble-paved streets, and an opera house that rivals La Scala.

Why Syros? Unlike Mykonos, which often shutters in the off-season, Syros is a year-round working island. That means prices are stable and geared toward locals, not tourists. You’ll find affordable eateries, charming B&Bs, and free cultural events, especially during summer.

Tip: Don’t miss a walk through Ano Syros, the medieval upper town, where time seems to stand still.
