Siros, Syros, or just Seriously Beautiful

The Greeks have yet to decide how to spell the names of the islands. Almost all of the Islands have two or three spellings. Some have completely different names that are used simultaneously. Santorini for example is also known as Thera. But however you spell it, we head to Siros, the capital of the Cyclades. We avoid the main port and instead choose two secluded bays to hang out in. Our guests rented motor scooters and crawled all over the island making sure they didn’t miss anything. When they came back to the boat in the wee hours of the morning, they raved about the amazing food at a restaurant on the top of the hill, the crimson skies of Greece at sunset and small villages tucked away in the tops of the hills of this rugged island.
