Syros Island
April 6, 2026
Unlike its neighbors Mykonos or Santorini, Syros isn’t just a seasonal tourist spot; it’s a living, breathing city with year-round energy, aristocratic history, and a unique blend of Catholic and Orthodox traditions. Syros serves as the administrative capital of the Cyclades group.
The island’s identity is defined by its two main hills that rise above the port of Ermoupoli. One is topped by an Orthodox church and the other by a Catholic cathedral, symbolizing the peaceful coexistence of the two communities for centuries.
Delos Island
Mythology has it that the god of light, Apollo, was born on this humble island in the Aegean Sea, which became a sanctuary rivaling that of Delphi. The worship of the god began as early as the Ionian era and continued throughout the centuries, with festivals, ceremonies, magnificent sanctuaries, offerings from other Greek cities and much more. Due to its strategic location in the Aegean, it developed particularly as a center of navigation and trade even during the Roman era, becoming an importantt commercial center with a duty-free port.
It’s sacred isolation stands as a contrast to its neighboring island of Mykonos, from where you can catch a short boat ride for a visit.
Paros Island

Arriving at the port town of Paroikia or Chora, you are immediately struck by the chaotic crowds disembarking from the ferry boats. Then you are welcomed by the lone windmill, beckoning you to explore this quaint town. Blinding light surrounds the island, the white houses and the blue sky reflecting the sea.
As you walk past the shops, along the main road towards Naousa, your eye is drawn to the white-washed wall enclosing the religious jewel of the island, the Ekatontapyliani (100 gates) church. Entering the church yard, you step into history dating back to the reign of Roman emperor Constantine the Great.

Serifos Island
Serifos is a beautiful traditional island of the western Cyclades. With its tranquil atmosphere, this rising gem of the Cyclades promises relaxing, fun and unforgettable holidays.
It can be a part of an island hopping vacation either by ferry boat or private sailing. Serifos is not crowded, except in late July-August, with most of the tourists during peak season being younger Greeks.
Overtourism has not reached yet, and probably will not since it doesn’t have the infrastructure.
