Syros

Greece

A classic Greek island untouched by mass tourism — Ermoupoli's marble squares and a long artistic legacy.

Syros is the capital island of the Cyclades, different from other islands with its European architecture, opera house, and vibrant local culture. Less touristy than neighboring islands but full of character.
