Ermoupolis Industrial Museum

Reviewed By littleloudone03

This museum is such a great find in the island of Syros, it showcases the history of industry in Syors and the electric car is a highlight. The guide (older gentleman) is the best ever as he is passionate and very informative. He made the tour interesting and brought in some humor. There were plenty of artifacts laid out to document the history of Syros. Definitely a must to see when visiting Syros and a hidden gem

Saint Pakou

The Catholic Chapel of Agia Pakou, dominates on the top of the Hill of Galissas. It is a very picturesque chapel that seems to be hovering amidst the colours of the sky and sea, the white and the blue while offering magnificent views to the azure Aegean Sea and the sunset.Access to the chapel is difficult through a rough path and a small flight of stairs. However the magnificent panoramic view will surely reward the visitor.

A place for reflection, no matter what your religious beliefs happen to be. The high backed seats with a plaque "Andron" - Men amused me.

Galissas Beach

Galissas beach is one of the most beautiful and popular beaches of the island. This is a fully organized beach which offers all kinds of comforts. Guests can swim in the crystal clear waters, relax on the golden sand, enjoy unique flavors in the taverns of the village and head to the chapel of Agia Pakou from where the view is magnificent. The beach is easily accessible either by bus or by private boat.

This was a great beach. Nice sand, sheltered bay, very shallow for a long distance so even those who cannot swim so well can enjoy it. I loved the walkway around it, you can also climb the hill next to beach to a church with a view of the beach and surrounding area.

Kini Beach

Reviewed By littleloudone03

This is an amazing flat sandy beach with warm water and beautiful surroundings. Well laid out beach with sun beds and umbrellas in front of bars and restaurants. Great price of 5 euro for a drink and sunbed. As it was end of September, it wasn't too crowded making it peaceful and relaxing. Must see in Syros
