It features a charming safe beach with a delightful fresh food taverna. Syros is a wonderful blend of Greek and neoclassical architecture and tradition. Syros is the capital of the Cyclades named after the circle the Cycladic islands make around the sacred island of Delos. Delos is a day's ferry ride away and is well worth a visit, along with the neighboring islands of Mykonos. Santorini and Rhodes are also reached by ferry from Syros and are well worth a visit during your trip. Syros is rapidly becoming popular with tourists who appreciate its true Greek nature and diverse geography. Syros can be rocky and dry, similar to nearby Mykonos, which makes the sparkling blue Aegean pop even more. Depending on the season, the hillsides can also be green with herbs, purple with flowering wild thyme, or yellow with flowering helichrysum. It is a favorite with wildcrafters and bees! Villa Abela is where the American College of Healthcare Science study abroad Holistic Nutrition and Holistic Wellness Lifestyle classes are offered each year. Distillation of essential oils and aromatherapy is also offered and taught by renowned experts Dorene Petersen and Robert Seidel. Visit the College website for more information.
