While on holiday in Galissas, take a stroll to the Venetian castle and visit the unusual cave church of Agios Stephanos. Galissas holidays include plenty of opportunities for boat or road excursions around this unique island to other Syros beaches like Agathopes beach in the south or Megas Yialosor, the longest of Syros beaches. Galissas holidays could also include trips to picturesque fishing villages like Kini or quaint traditional villages like Finikas and Della Gracia.
