Best Syros Beaches
The sandy beach of Agathopes
The beach of Kini
The most popular beaches in Syros are located in the main tourist resorts. Some are sandy and others are pebbled, but they all have crystal water.
The majority of them are partly- or non-organized, while many are secluded and nudist-friendly due to their secluded locations.
Ermoupolis, the capital of Syros, does not have a beach, but public buses to the tourist resorts depart from Ermoupolis every day during summer.
In brief, the most famous beaches in Syros are Galissas, Megas Gialos, Kini, and Poseidonia, which have beach equipment on their shores. At the same time, several are remote and nudism-friendly.
