Syros takes the top spot in the new list announced by the Dutch website Griekenland.net, with the seven best unexplored island destinations in Greece that stand out for their culture and serene energy.
According to the most popular travel website in the Netherlands, which specializes exclusively in Greece and is read by millions of travelers, the ?lady of the Cyclades wins the top spot.
“Neoclassical elegance” is what the author of the list calls Syros, emphasizing that “the capital of the Cyclades is a special blend of Greek aesthetics and European grandeur. In the city of Ermoupolis, history “comes alive” in the marble squares, neoclassical mansions and the imposing town hall in Miaoulis Square, designed by the Bavarian architect Ernest Ziller. The Apollon Theater regularly “hosts” performances and festivals. The hilly district of Ano Syros impresses with its medieval alleys and wonderful sea views.” The Griekenland.net list is completed by islands from the Cyclades, the Dodecanese and the Ionian Islands. ?
The new distinction is part of the new information efforts of the Municipality of Syros-Ermoupolis to highlight the different elements of the destination. Syros has a combination of characteristics that can satisfy a wide range of visitors from Greece and abroad. The unique architecture, local culture, and civilization “tie” harmoniously with the unparalleled natural beauty, the exquisite local flavors, and the alternative activities, creating unique moments”, stated the Deputy Mayor of Tourism of Syros – Ermoupolis, Ioannis A. Voutsinos
