Though perhaps not as popular as other Greek islands such as Santorini or Mykonos, Syros has a distinctive character that attracts plenty of visitors. It is one of the major Cyclades islands located in the Aegean Sea and known for being an important commercial centre. Syros’ history has been influenced by Cycladic and Venetian cultures, as seen in its gorgeous architecture. Its capital is Ermoupolis, which holds many of its stunning monuments including Church of Agios Nikolaos, Apollon Theatre, and Miaouli Square. Ano Syros is another must-visit and major town. Of course, there are beaches galore with Kini and Delfini counted among the best.
