Syros

The heart and administrative center of the Cyclades, Syros stands out with its neoclassical mansions and marble-paved squares instead of the classic white-and-blue houses. For yacht charter guests, the capital Ermoupolis offers an enchanting urban experience with its grand city hall and narrow alleys. On blue cruise itineraries, the Catholic and Orthodox churches atop the hills and the island's famous "loukoumi" (Turkish delight) workshops are must-sees. On this aristocratic island, you can crown your day with local delicacies and fresh seafood at the elegant restaurants in the Vaporia district.
