Agathopes Beach Syros

Agathopes beach, we find it on the southwest side of Syros Island about five kilometers from the Finikas Village. Ermoupoli the capital is in a north-easterly direction less than fifteen kilometers.

Wedged in the enchanting of Finika Bay that protects it from the winds, it has a coastline of soft golden-colored sand, clean, transparent, warm and never-moving waters, a blue and turquoise sea with sandy bottoms that gently descend ideal for lovers swimming and for families with small children who can spend a wonderful day at the beach playing in complete safety while adults enjoy the warm Hellenic sun rays in peace.

All around beautiful and useful tamarisk trees that give a moment of respite in the hottest hours. Agathopes beach is an area protected by the Greek Ministry of the Environment as the enchanting sea lilies grow spontaneously and in their period of greatest flowering cover the beach (in this regard we recommend that you be very careful not to step on them and above all to do not collect them to ruin the natural habitat). In spring, however, Agathopes beach becomes a real nursery for the endangered species of Monachus-Monachus seals that usually come to give birth to their baby.

The Agathopes beach is well organized with sunbeds and umbrellas ranging from a cost of 10 to 20 €, bars that offer fresh drinks and light dishes, some taverns instead where you can sit comfortably and enjoy the dishes based on products and fresh fish of classic Greek and local cuisine. The whole area is developing so much that behind the coast you can also find some accommodation in case you decide to have this part of the island as a base for your holiday in Syros. For the more sporty there are diving centers that offer wonderful underwater experiences to discover the mysterious underwater world, while for snorkelers the nearby rock formations of the two islets can be a fun playground in search of fauna and flora. marina therefore, do not forget mask, fins and snorkel.

Just one kilometer away you will find Posidonia beach and Foinikas beach as well as a wonderful view of the Stroggylo Islet, the Schinonisi island and the imposing lighthouse of Viglostasi Cape making the whole landscape a particular charm with views to leave you breathless.

Agathopes beach is also very popular with locals as well as visitors and is considered one of the best on Syros Island due to the location, services and morphology of the entire beach. In fact, it will not be difficult during the summer to find many people who want to grab a comfortable place to spend a wonderful day dedicated to the sea and sunbathing.

If you have a rental vehicle, just take the main road that goes southwest and follow the road signs for Posidonia rather than Finikas, from there in a few kilometers you will reach the beach.
