Syros is the administrative capital of the Cycladic group of islands, with Ermoupolis the main town and the island’s capital.
Unlike the rest of the Cyclades, Ermoupolis has elegant neo-classical buildings, but move away from here and there’s no doubt that you are in the Cyclades with the whitewashed houses of Ano Syros with their blue shutters, accessed via narrow streets.
The Italian Dolomites are home to some of the most arresting mountains, valleys, and lakes in the European Alps. At every turn, you’ll be bewitched by the craggy peaks, velvet-like meadows, and thrilling mountain passes that define this sub-range of the Southern Limestone Alps. Visit the Dolomites and your days will be filled with unforgettable “am I dreaming?” moments. From the spectacular scenery and hiking trails to the charming mountainside huts and excellent hotels, the Dolomites will exceed your expectations (in every possible way).
