General Information

Summary

Would you like to meet local small producers, taste their products, and learn about the traditional art of loukoumades? Join us on a bike ride to discover hidden corners of Syros. Starting from Ermoupoli and heading towards the center of the island, we will meet Mrs. Dina, Pantelis, and Viveta. Along the way, we will gather local products such as sour cheese, capers, fresh organic vegetables, and, of course, loukoumi of Syros. We will enjoy all of this in a refreshing snack with homemade lemonade and the aroma of mint.

This is a moderately difficult cycling route. Although we will cover a fairly large area of the island, the slope is quite gentle and the roads alternate between wide main roads without sharp/closed turns (as the aim was to build a tram line) and quiet picturesque/secondary/rural roads/alleys.

Favourite part of the route: The view going down Faneromeni Street.
