Dimitra & Thanos’ Vlog: Best Beaches in Syros

Hey there, sunseekers! ☀️
We’re Dimitra & Thanos, and today we’re taking you on a beach-hopping adventure around Syros — one of the most diverse islands in the Cyclades when it comes to beaches. Whether you’re into soft sand, quiet coves, clear snorkeling spots, or buzzing beach bars — we’ve got a spot for you. Let’s gooo! 🏖️

🏖️ 1. Agathopes Beach

Golden sand, shallow turquoise water, and an organized setup. Perfect for couples, families, or chilling with a cocktail from ONO Beach Bar. Super Instagrammable and our absolute fave for stylish beach lounging!

Vibe: Classy, organized, sunset-friendly.

🏖️ 2. Kini Beach

The best mix of laid-back local energy and seaside tavernas. You can grab a seafood lunch at Allou Yialou or Dyo Tzitzikia, and then lounge under the tamarisk trees.

Vibe: Relaxed, local, family-friendly.

🏖️ 3. Galissas Beach

Huge, golden-sand beach with super calm waters. Popular with families, plus there’s a cool little hike up to Agia Pakou church for awesome views. Don’t miss dinner at Iliovasilema!

Vibe: Spacious, family-ready, and a great sunset.

🏖️ 4. Finikas Beach

Easygoing beach right next to a small marina. Calm waters, lots of shade, and great for a slow-paced day. Grab coffee or a cocktail at BaoBab or Calmo Mare.

Vibe: Chill, calm, quiet — total recharge zone.

🏖️ 5. Vari Beach

Shallow, warm waters and fine sand make this spot great for kids. Bollas Tavern is right on the beach for lunch.

Vibe: Super family-friendly, gentle waves.

🏖️ 6. Achladi Beach

Tiny and peaceful — you’ll feel like you’ve discovered a hidden cove. Eat literally on the sand at Achladi Restaurant.

Vibe: Quiet, romantic, barefoot heaven.

🏖️ 7. Azolimnos Beach

Closest organized beach to Hermoupolis. Lined with sunbeds, beach bars, and tavernas like O Kontos. Great for a quick dip.

Vibe: Easy access, lively, convenient.

🏖️ 8. Delfini Beach

Tucked-away cove past Kini — part organized, part wild. Bring your snorkel gear and float all day.

Vibe: Semi-remote, great for peace & snorkeling.

🏖️ 9. Komito Beach

A bit harder to find, but so worth it! Less crowded, with crystalline waters and some natural shade.

Vibe: Off-the-radar, quiet, perfect for a picnic.

🏖️ 10. Asteria Beach (Vaporia)

No sand here — it’s all stone platforms built into the cliffside, right below Hermoupolis’ aristocratic mansions. Swim under the church bells of St. Nikolaos. It’s a dream.

Vibe: Iconic, elegant, for urban sea lovers.

🏖️ Bonus Tip: Hidden Beach Spots

If you’re up for a little adventure, Syros hides some real treasures beyond the usual path:

• Grammata Beach – Accessible by boat or hiking trail. A historical bay where sailors carved prayers into the rocks. Quiet and sacred.

• Varvarousa Beach – Remote, wild, and stunning. You’ll need a boat or a serious hike to reach it, but the payoff is pure Cycladic magic. Think turquoise water, no crowds, and untouched nature.

• Amerikanou Beach – Another off-the-map beauty, great for solitude and clear snorkeling waters.

Vibe: Wild, untouched, and 100% worth the effort if you crave privacy and raw beauty.
