Meet Syros, the Greek island that's nothing like the others

Colorful coastal buildings by a vibrant blue sea, under a clear sky. A domed church is prominent on the right, with distant hills visible.

Syros is an island that defies typical Greek stereotypes, and for this article in The Times, I was keen to uncover what makes it so unique. Defined by its grand neoclassical architecture and a bustling, year-round feel, this piece highlights how it offers a refreshing alternative to its more famous neighbours. As a travel content writer, I aim to find stories that showcase a destination's true character, and Syros provided exactly that: a hidden gem for travellers seeking a more genuine Greek experience.
