Board your ferry in the afternoon at Piraeus Port in Athens, and cruise east to the island of Syros. The trip takes around 4 hours, so relax out on deck, soaking up the sunshine and gazing out over the dazzling Mediterranean Sea. Dock in the island’s bustling port, and then check in to your hotel. Spend the rest of your day at leisure, perhaps taking a stroll around its charming town – Ermoupolis – to admire its Neoclassical houses, or maybe check out its soft sand beaches, like Delfini Beach and Aetou Bay.
