WHAT TO DO ON SYROS
Step outside the doors of Alma and the island opens before you — a mosaic of experiences shaped by sea, stone and story.
Just a short stroll away, Miaouli Square serves as the heart of Ermoupolis. Here, the pace slows amid elegant cafés and the timeless hum of daily life. It’s the perfect place to sip your morning coffee or enjoy an evening walk, soaking in the energy of locals and visitors alike.
Nearby, the historic Neorion Shipyards stand as a proud reminder of Syros’ industrious past. Wander among these storied docks, where the spirit of craftsmanship meets the Aegean breeze and discover a side of the island’s heritage that few overlook.
For moments of calm, Syros’ beaches offer varied escapes:
Asteria Beach, just minutes from Alma, welcomes swimmers with crystal-clear waters and soft sands.
Further afield, Kini and Lotos offer peaceful retreats for those seeking solitude and natural beauty.
Azolimnos Beach is a quiet haven where the gentle sounds of the waves invite meditation and rest.
For a change of perspective, journey to Kastri, the island’s ancient fortress, where panoramic views of Syros and the endless sea inspire awe and reflection.
And for those eager to dive deeper, hikes through olive groves and vineyards, wine tastings or spontaneous discoveries await — each experience shaped by the island’s genuine spirit.
