Your destination
About Syros
Syros is the administrative capital of the Cyclades, and it is the one island in the group that has a winter. Ermoupoli is a working neoclassical city with a shipyard, a courthouse and an opera house — not a resort with a town attached. Mykonos is twenty-five minutes away, which is the point: you can see it and then come back to somewhere real.
