According to a popular French website, this aristocratic island of the Cyclades holds the «crown» of aesthetics and is brimming with culinary surprises.
Syros is listed by Le Figaro Nautisme among the five most beautiful islands of the Cyclades. The popular French website, which specializes in maritime and nautical tourism and operates under the «Le Figaro» banner, focuses on the architectural uniqueness of the capital of the Cyclades.
According to Le Figaro Nautisme, «the architecture of Ermoupoli has an otherworldly beauty. With Venetian and neoclassical influences, the houses are not all white, but coexist harmoniously in shades of yellow, pink and blue, evoking an elegant rainbow that adds a very distinctive atmosphere to the island. In the heart of Ermoupoli, the pedestrian streets are flanked by the old palaces of the aristocracy of yesteryear and the city’s marina offers a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea.
Also "stealing" the show are the island’s villages, built on the tops of hills and recalling other eras when pirate raids were routine. Syros’ cuisine is also known in the Cyclades for its sweets, with the big "star" being loukoumi in various flavors. Syros holds the "scepter" of aesthetics and is full of gastronomic surprises».
Notably, interest from international media in markets such as France, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy remains strong for the exploration of the destination’s themed experiences within the efforts of the Municipality of Syros-Ermoupolis.
«The noble lady of the Cyclades invites the traveler on a magical journey. From the seabed to the hilltop settlements, Syros promises dozens of delightful surprises. Relaxation, holidays on beaches with free access, countless cultural events, a rich history that "comes to life" in every corner, culinary journeys, hiking, diving and sea excursions are only a small sample of the experiences our visitor enjoys every day», says the Deputy Mayor of Tourism of the Municipality of Syros-Ermoupolis, Ioannis A. Voutsinos.
