Syros Getting there & around

Getting around

About nine buses per day run a circular route from Ermoupolis to Galissas (€1.30, 20 minutes), Vari (€1.30, 30 minutes) and Kini (€1.50, 35 minutes). They leave Ermoupolis every half-hour from June to September and every hour the rest of the year, alternating clockwise and anticlockwise routes. All of these buses will eventually get you to where you want to go, but it’s always worth checking which route is quickest.

There is a bus from Ermoupolis bus station to Ano Syros at 10.30am every morning except Sunday (€1.20, 15 minutes). Taxis (22810 86222) charge €6 to Ano Syros from the port.

Cars can be hired per day from about €40 and scooters per day from €12 at numerous hire outlets on the waterfront.
