Galissas and Armeos beach in Syros |
 |
|
In Galissas you will find shops, hotels and pensions, tavernas, bars and cafes, as well as car and scooter hire places. Indeed everything that belongs to a tourist resort. Though it is nothing you think about since the village is quite small and scattered. Most buildings are some distance from the beach.
The beach in Galissas stretches across the entire bay.
The beach in Galissas is shallow and suitable for small children.
The beach, which consists of light fine sand, is shallow and family friendly and shaped like a half moon. Many families consider that Galissas is the best beach on Syros, and I do understand them. To the left of the beach is a long stone pier that ends at a small port. On the pier there are changing rooms for timid bathers.
Galissas is located about 6 kilometers south of Kini. |

The small boat port in Galissas.
If you don't like sand, you can sunbathe and swim at the stone pier in the port.
The beach is, as I said, very shallow and it is particularly noticeable when you walk into the sea from the pier. At the most you get wet up to the ankles. Beside the stone pier is Dolphin Bay, the largest hotel in Syros.
The nudist beach Armeos.
From the marina in Galissas, a path starts that runs along the coast to Syros' unofficially official nudist beach of Armeos. As a beach, Armeos is nothing to write home about, but it is beautifully situated and the water is seductive and alluring and ideal if you want to swim and sunbathe without textiles. Wild camping occurs.
