Syros Hiking Exploration in the Untouched Apano Meria

Enjoy an unforgettable experience on the northern side of Syros, with 360-degree views of the endless blue Aegean Sea and the surrounding Cycladic islands. We are located in the small settlement of Kambos in Apano Meria, the northernmost settlement of Syros, from where we begin our hike. We walk along old, characteristic Cycladic paths—landmarks of a bygone era. We pass by an abandoned marble quarry, with visible signs of historical use. The entire Apano Meria region of Syros is part of the Natura 2000 program and spans an area of 804 hectares. Natura 2000 is a Europe-wide network of protected areas established by the European Union to conserve biodiversity. It aims to protect endangered species of plants and animals, along with their natural habitats.

   We will visit the Grammata area, which takes its name from ancient inscriptions carved into rocks near the shore. Some of these date from the 3rd century BC to the 4th century AD, and include wishes, prayers, and the names of sailors. After enjoying a swim in the crystal-clear waters, we’ll enjoy a hearty picnic with fresh local products.
