Syros restaurants: the capital of Cycladic gastronomy
As the islands' administrative capital, Syros has a year-round food culture few rivals can match. In Ermoupoli, Mammalouka and To Petrino serve refined Syrian-Cycladic plates, while the old market tavernas dish out local San Michali cheese, loukoumia and louza cured pork. Climb to Ano Syros for Plakostroto, where live rebetiko accompanies sunset and slow-cooked specials.
