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.
Villages adorning whitewashed houses, tropical foliage decorating the rugged landscape and a plethora of charming restaurants serving sumptuous seafood – Sifnos is unashamedly Greek. The exponential growth of tourism over the past decade has hacked away at the authenticity of the architecture and culture, though the Mediterranean character remains forever embedded in Sifnos’ DNA. A selection of clubs and bars have attracted a constant stream of young people who flock to the island each summer to enjoy the cheap alcohol and lively music scene. The influx of youngsters has prompted the island to become a popular retreat for anyone hoping to dance until the early hours of the morning, but a family atmosphere still rings around the villages. Quaint cafes and welcoming restaurants appeal to people of all ages, and the golden sands next to deep blue waters resemble a paradise for every type of visitor. Vathi Beach is perhaps the standout among a myriad of beaches along the coast, enticing visitors with the inviting image of luxury yachts in the horizon that can be enjoyed under the natural shade provided by the collection of trees.
The cosy streets and compact nature of Sifnos means that many choose to traverse the island by foot.
