Grammata Beach and Syros Gray Cave

Grammata which in Greek means letters, is a beautiful beach north of Syros. The quiet and secluded bay is certainly the ideal place for lovers of relaxation with a coast of golden sand tamarisk trees where you can escape from the sun and a sea with green and blue waters that will make you fall in love with the place.

The place is known not only for the beach but also for the cave and the rocks where the sailors wrote their prayers and supplications to the gods to continue their journey smoothly or complication. The bay being sheltered from the wind was in fact considered one of the safest places to stop with ships. According to archaeologists, the writings date back to the Middle Ages.

Getting there is easy and there are several ways. For the more adventurous through a path from Apano Meria or Delfini, with a walk of about an hour for an easy road to travel or with an excursion that starts from Kini by boat.

Remember that it is a deserted beach so bring water, food and sunscreen.
