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.
Folegandros is a small Greek island in the southern part of the Cyclades region in the Aegean Sea near the islands of Milos and Sikinos. Folegandros ferry port is located in the small village of Karavostasi on the south east side of the Island and features connections with numerous neighbouring islands as well as to the Greek mainland. Though Folegandros is increasing its popularity with tourists, it is still an untouched piece of true Greece. With the simple and relaxing atmosphere that reigns all around the island, Folegandros is distinguished by the locals as the island of Peace.
