Reviewed By MYKONOSHORSELAND - Mykonos, Greece

We operate horse riding tours in the neighboring island of Mykonos, and for the first time recently experienced a trail ride with the Equestrian Club in Syros. The horses were wonderful, and the entire experience very enjoyable, with a lovely scenic route through the fields and hills of Syros. We know the owner Sasa who has been coming to our riding center for a few years offering riding instruction to the local children, and she is an excellent and patient teacher, dedicated to the horses, and to ensuring her clients are all well looked after. We can't recommend this experience enough for people looking for something a little different to do in Syros.

Agathopes Beach

Reviewed By MartaS0fia - Sofia, Bulgaria

Best beach in Syros. Fine white sand, shallow waters and at least one excellent taverna two steps from the sea. Could get rather crowded in summer but we enjoyed it quiet in the first days of season after the lockdown.

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.

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
