Saint Stefanos is a beautiful and picturesque chapel in the area of Galissas built among the rocks. The chapel was built by a fisherman who was saved from the tentacles of a large Octopus after praying to the Saint to help him. It is situated 15 minutes from the main beach from where a small path leads to the chapel. The chapel can also be reached by boat. Agios Stefanos is celebrated on the 19th of August and on December the 26th. Hordes of people visit the chapel to attend the liturgy.

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.

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

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.

A treasure for the island that shows the culture and the love for the arts that Syros has all these years. It is a miniature of La Scala in Milan. You should also go to the theater museum.

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 is one of the most beautiful and popular beaches of the island. This is a fully organized beach which offers all kinds of comforts.

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.

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
