Syros is a beautiful island with unique architecture and many narrow streets with picturesque neighborhoods and traditional, island houses. Visitors should expect that they will walk a lot and therefore they should bring flat/athletic shoes with them.

In addition, visitors should be aware that the nights at the Aegean Islands are chilly due to the winds and high humidity. So, a light jacket is always useful.

Finally, visitors traveling from abroad may find visiting Syros during fall (apart from more economic) more pleasant, since the heat is less intense than in the summer, but the sea temperature is still quite high.
