On day three of our itinerary, we head from Kythnos to the island of Syros. Syros is a small island filled with spectacular coloured buildings and culture, and is predominately off the regular tourist track. A great place to spend the night is in Finikas, on the southwest coast of the island. This is a quiet village filled with taverns, bars, and coffee shops, and is a great place to anchor as it offers good protection from the Meltemi.
