Iraklia
Iraklia belongs to the Small Cyclades and although Iraklia is the largest island, it is the most sparsely populated, with two quiet settlements and a mostly mountainous area. The only road on the island starts in Agios Georgios, passes through Livadi beach (the most beautiful beach on Iraklia) continues to Panagia and ends in Turkopigado bay with a pebbly beach.
The ferry port on the island of Iraklia offers connections to the other Greek islands of Donoussa, Koufonissi, Paros, Amorgos, Syros, Schinoussa and Naxos, as well as to the ferry port of Piraeus on the Greek mainland. A total of 9 routes are offered here several times a day by the shipping companies Blue Star Ferries, Small Cyclades Lines and SeaJets.
Syros
The name of the island originally means something like "rocky" - and that aptly describes what awaits you on Syros. In addition to the rugged natural formations, the island is home to the administrative center of the Cyclades. Accordingly, it is busy here all year round. Here you will especially meet Greeks from the mainland; international tourists are rather less to be found here. The cultural side is not neglected here either, and churches, a theater and a library are among the most important places on the island. If you are looking for beautiful beaches, you will find them on the southern and western side.
The ferry port on the island of Syros offers connections to the other Greek islands of Andros, Donoussa, Tinos, Folegandros, Amorgos, Mykonos, Lesbos, Samos, Kimolos, Kalymnos, Kos, Thira, Thirasia, Paros, Ios, Ikaria, Serifos, Kythnos, Milos, Chios, Rhodes, Fournoi, Crete, Patmos, Oinousses, Schinoussa, Astypalea, Naxos, Sikinos, Koufonissi, Symi, Kea, Iraklia, Leros, Sifnos, Euboea, Limnos and Anafi as well as to the ports of Thessaloniki, Kavala, Piraeus and Lavrio on the Greek mainland.
