Syros is like the endearing younger brother in the Cyclades; rural villages encompass the capital, relaxing restaurants offer fresh food and colourful houses grace the landscape - yet despite its charm and charisma - the island never roars into touristic prominence like its siblings. Though Syros is hardly a deserted island; a steady stream of visitors create a friendly atmosphere that never overflows into uncomfortable busyness - the beaches are popular but not overcrowded and you can always find a seat at a café or restaurant. It is the perfect cocktail of vibrant tranquillity. Much like every Greek island, Syros has gradually adapted its market and outlets to appeal to tourists, however, it has admirably maintained its authentic traditions. Ermoupolis City Hall and Saint Nicholas Church are examples of original architecture, showcasing the impressive structural designs that are quintessential of their location. Several churches and cathedrals add to the rustic experience, and art galleries and museums provide a cultural edge.
Much of the island is possible to cover by foot or bicycle, and there are companies offering scooter rental for fairly cheap prices.
Many Greek islands are famed for their party scene, littered with drunken holidaymakers bouncing from one club to another. On the other hand, you have towns like Vathi which are the complete opposite. Peace, quiet and relaxation is the mantra which defines the lazy lifestyle; welcoming tavernas are graced with tourists and locals enjoying the refreshments, golden sand beaches are emblazoned with sun kissed bodies hoping for a tan and challenging walking trails are a tempting way to work off the lamb kofta from the night before. To simply wander around the whitewashed houses and charming streets provokes a sense of contentment – whole days can be lost amidst the Vathi’s tranquillity. Many ships take harbour at Vathi’s picturesque docking area, with a beach that stretches for around one kilometre and looks out across the imposing mountainside. The harbour is decorated with restaurants serving quintessential Greek cuisine which can be sampled whilst overlooking the beautiful Aegean Sea.
The tiny town is very easy to cover by foot, which is the pleasant option when the weather is fine.
