3Monastery of Panagia Spiliani — Syros

Perched on a hill above the town of Ano Syros, the Monastery of Panagia Spiliani is both a religious site and a photographer’s dream.

Dating back to the 16th century, it is built around a cave that once served as a place of worship. The monastery’s striking white façade, terracotta roofs, and panoramic views of the Aegean Sea make it one of the most picturesque sacred sites in the Cyclades. Visitors can explore the chapel, walk around the courtyard, and enjoy the spiritual atmosphere while taking in the breathtaking scenery.
