These two Cyclades islands do not resemble each other despite being so close!
Tinos is the epitome of a true Cycladic island and has an unsurpassed charm in its landscapes and picturesque villages. Dubbed by philosopher Cornelius Castoriadis as the “handmade island,” is an ideal destination for nature lovers, architecture and art aficionados or gastronomy enthusiasts! The island is the homeland of great Greek artists of marble carving such as Chalepas, Gyzis and Lytras, who were famous for their creations. Beautiful beaches and picturesque 40 or so villages, built according to the local traditional architectural style add to the scenery.
Syros and its capital, Ermoupolis, with its αristocratic air and impressive architecture reflects its modern history. The beautiful town of Ermoupolis in Syros is not only the capital of the island but the entire Cyclades as well. It is a commercially and culturally developed town and port of unique architectural beauty, a great reminder of its brilliant past.
