The beach of Galissas is situated in the south / southwest of the island of Syros and is one of the nicest and largest beaches of Syros - okay, as I understand this is indeed the largest beach of Syros. Personally this is my favorite. There is a part with sunbeds and umbrellas and there is a part which is more unspoilt. For the people that are looking for shade there are also some trees on the beach. It is a beautiful beach with good sand and clear water. At the end of the beach there is a good taverna where you can have a bite to eat, but there are more restaurants to choose from, a couple of mini markets and there are several acccommodations on and around the beach. The distance to the capital Ermoupolis is about 7 kilometers. The sandy beach of Galissos is situated in an "enclosed" bay with clear and calm waters and it is shallow, so safe for small children. Galissas Beach is also a good place to watch the sunsets. Compared to some other parts of Syros this area is quite green.

Within a few minutes walking distance from Galissas is another beach which is called Armeos Beach. This beach be reached if you follow the path that leads from the church. Both Galissas Beach and Kini Beach (more north) are favorite places for watching the sunset. Armeos Beach is one of the few beaches which is suitable for naturism (together with Delphini Beach, some rocks near Katergaki and several small beaches in the northwest of Syros, above Kini, which are more difficult to reach). The beach is about 80 meters long and consists mainly of small pebbles, with here and there some patches of sand.

Galissas Beach and Kini Beach are good options for the main town Ermoupolis, for people that want to explore the island but prefer to do so from a place where there is a beach. Galissos Beach has a good and regular connection by bus with the capital of the island. There is a variety of hotels, apartments and studios to choose from, from very basic to luxury with a swimming pool, so there is something for everyones budget and wishes. Below are a few examples of the accommodations on Galissas Beach.
