From the Netherlands to Australia: Why the world falls in love with Cheese, the hidden gem of the Cyclades

Greece She has officially joined countries – the Netherlands, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Australia and several others – in a joint promotional campaign to promote Syros as the “hidden gem” of the Cyclades.

The goal is simple: to show the island not as another photogenic resort, but as a place with a rich history, vibrant culture and dramatic landscapes – an ideal destination for those looking for an authentic Greek experience.

Syros is already attracting the attention of international publications: the island is considered as an alternative to the crowded islands of the archipelago. Here, cozy quiet beaches, neoclassical architecture and neat marble streets of Ermoupolis – the administrative center of the Cyclades – create a completely different rhythm of travel. The city can be seen traces of a 19-century heyday as a commercial and seaport: the luxurious City Hall, the Apollo Theatre and other cultural monuments remind of the European past of the island.

The peculiarity of Syros is the harmonious neighborhood of Catholic and Orthodox traditions, which gives the island a unique flavor and makes it interesting for tourists who want to get acquainted with regional life without mass tourism. The Dutch government and media emphasize the value of authenticity, nature and gastronomy, parameters that Dutch travelers are particularly interested in. German publications, in turn, single out Syros as an example of sustainable tourism: secluded coves, careful attitude to natural heritage and small flows of tourists attract those who choose an environmentally friendly journey.

Greece has included Syros in its strategy to diversify tourist flows: the island is positioned as a place where you can combine cultural immersion and untouched nature. For independent travelers, this is a chance to see the “unspecified” Greece – and yet, to reveal the island for real, it is worth taking a local guide for at least one day: he will show not only the main attractions, but also the hidden courtyards of Ermoupolis, sparsely populated beaches and stories that are not in the guidebooks.

If you are planning a trip: come not for a fashion shot, but for a walk through the marble streets, evenings at the Apollo Theatre and leisurely coffee in the shade of ancient balconies. The cheese is already on the radar of many countries - but it still has enough peace of mind to feel the island a real, rather than a tourist attraction.
