Syros. Where you can live like a true islander whatever the time of year.
Syros, capital of the Greek Cyclades island group, has a heart that beats all year round to the rhythm of the port town of Ermoupoli.
Unlike so many of its famous tourist-laden neighbours, Syros is an all-year-round island. When the tourists have mostly returned to their 9-5's, you have a wonderful opportunity to make Syros your island base, and really discover what makes this place tick relentlessly throughout the year.
Fall, winter, and spring are the temperate seasons when our families can discover Syros in its purest form and really integrate with its amazing local community.
Water-based sports and activities can also be easier to navigate - with gentler and more predictable sea breezes to allow for smooth-sailing.
Check out our Top 3 reasons for checking out Syros in the winter and early spring.
1. Less keen on heat? Jan through March is a great time to fully discover all that Syros has to offer with cooler temperatures that are great for exploring the many hiking paths. No stepping over sunbathers when you stroll along the beaches either.
2. Unique events and experiences that capture the spirit of Syros like the colourful carnival celebrations and parades in the main square or the bustling activity of the shipyard as ships are prepared for another season of work out at sea.
3. The quieter time of year represents a unique opportunity to really immerse yourself in the culture and community of Syros. The pace is slower and more-laid back. With much lower tourist volumes you get a better feel for real island life. There are also, of course, options to visit other islands too! Syros is well connected to other local islands by both plane and ferry.
So, what are you waiting for? Syros is calling for you!
