The next stop will take us to Syros, a fascinating island where traces of ancient Greece, such as a settlement dating back to 2300 BC, intertwine with contemporary vitality. The capital, Ermoupoli, is considered the heart of the Cyclades: a succession of pink and white houses cascading down, while the old town is a labyrinth of elegant neoclassical buildings and squares that tell its glorious history. Syros is also renowned for Loukoumi, a much-loved typical dessert.
Continuing towards Mykonos, you discover an island of extraordinary beauty, with its center formed by white houses arranged in an amphitheater above the port, framed by traditional windmills. The houses seem to blend naturally with the rock below. Thanks to its unique charm, Mykonos has become a favorite destination for those looking for a lively international nightlife.
