Considered the capital of the Cyclades, Syros (Greek: Σύρος [ˈsiros] - also known as Siros or Syra), has a distinguished history as an important centre for trade. Its merchant heritage, its laid-back vibe, and its lack of mass tourism all make for an island that holds firmly to its proud Greek spirit.
The capital, Ermoupoli, boasts fine neo-classical buildings, historic mansions that were once home to shipping magnates, and a host of white houses that cascade down to the harbour.
Head to the little cafés and tavernas that flank the marble steps of the mediaeval hill-top village of Ano Syros for savoury and sweet delicacies, and swim in the gorgeous blue waters of the Aegean Sea from one of the island’s numerous sandy beaches.

Whatever you choose to do, you’ll have a great summer in Syros.🤍

Imagine spending your summer in Puglia – it feels like stepping into a dream.
Picture yourself at Blu Melia, surrounded by fragrant pines, with 180-degree views and direct access to the Adriatic waters. Just the thought of it brings relaxation.
Or perhaps you crave a touch of romance? Head to Fiore Bianco’s panoramic roof terrace, where you can witness the breath-taking sunset over the Ionian Sea, a heartbeat away from the picturesque beach that the locals call “the Maldives”.
