A FEW WORDS...
Hidden treasures, on an island that has it all!
We leave for the "nymph of the Aegean", we discover Syros, the Lady of the Cyclades!!!
On the occasion of the Holy Spirit weekend and because it smells like summer, we seize the opportunity to walk on some of the most beautiful paths of the island, among flowers and herbs that exude intoxicating aromas, enjoying nature, landscapes and the Cycladic light!
A combo that has on its agenda from routes on the upper side, wild and arid but at the same time exciting and beautiful, to the invigorating sunsets behind hills on beautiful beaches and eerie rocks!
Pioneer of the Cyclades in terms of its artistic offering. With a huge reserve of the aristocratic maritime state in history, culture and architectural ornaments in pastel shades, which spread from the port to the peaks of its two characteristic hills!
Venetian charm, a labyrinth of alleys, Catholic churches, contrasting and mysterious, with the arrival of summer it is adorned by the colors of wildflowers.
The steep cliffs, the dry stone walls, the scattered churches, the terraces and the small settlements, make Syros stand out among the Cyclades!
Several hiking trails on the island have been mapped and marked. We will explore and discover the most interesting ones in the northern part of the island, which has a more mountainous and rough terrain, since it is made up of limestone, in contrast to the volcanic south, and at the same time we will enjoy the view of the endless blue that takes your breath away!
However, because Syros is famous for its local cuisine and traditional sweets, we will not forget to try the famous halva pies, the famous loukoumi, the cold cuts such as louza and "fennel sausages", while it is worth seeking out the excellent spicy cheese with the designation of origin "San Michali".
This is Syros!
A jewel in the heart of the Cycladic complex of Andros, Tinos, Mykonos, Kea, Kythnos, Serifos, Sifnos, Paros and Naxos, full of hikes, sea, Light and wonderful local flavors!!!!
