6Loukoumades from Syros

Loukoumades, though popular throughout Greece, find a special place in the hearts of those visiting Syros.

These golden, fluffy, deep-fried dough balls, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon and crushed walnuts, are the Aegean’s answer to the doughnut. A bite of loukoumades, with its sweet, crunchy exterior and soft, airy interior, offers a moment of pure joy, embodying the island’s knack for creating unforgettable confections.
