It would be unspeakable to visit Syros and not swim in Agkathopes Beach with its crystal clear, blue waters and the sea lilies, which bloom in abundance every summer, demonstrating the rich ecosystem of the region. It is located 14km to the southwest of Ermoupoli, the "do not miss" beach of the island. Although it is a cosmopolitan organized beach with beach bars, it is also suitable for families with young children, since its waters are shallow, safe and ideal for water sports. You will enjoy the view of the islets Schinonisi and Stroggilo, while lying on the beach for as long as you want without the annoying northern winds. Moreover, if you find yourself there during the spring, it is worth knowing that the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) give birth to their babies in Agkathopes during that period. There is also a bus station nearby the beach, since there are frequent itineraries.
