Ferry connection
Syros has a port which because of its geographical position is protected by the strong winds that blow in the Cyclades. The port is located in the town of Ermoupolis. From there there are daily itineraries to the port of Piraeus, while there are ships that operate Endokykladika routes and connect Syros with all the islands of the Cyclades (even the smallest ones). Itineraries are also to the Dodecanese and to the islands of northeast Aegean.
