Syros, the capital of the Cyclades, is a rare Greek island that functions more like a small city, maintaining a lively atmosphere year-round. Ermoupoli, the island’s capital, is a thriving hub of stunning architecture, cultural institutions, and year-round activity.
The Apollo Theater, modeled after La Scala in Milan, hosts operas, concerts, and theater performances throughout the year. With a strong permanent population, government offices, and business centers, Syros is never “closed for the season.” From Syros’ famous loukoumia (Greek delights) to fresh seafood, the island’s culinary scene keeps food lovers coming back.
