Hermoupolis is the capital of the Cyclades. The main town of the island of Syros it is a cosmopolitan port with fascinating architecture. Despite having the most important administrative centre of all the fifty six Greek islands which make up the Cyclades the island of Syros is much more authentic than many of its neighbours in the grouping. Tourism is much more low key and the locals more friendly and interested in visitors.Outside of Hermoupolis you will find low-key seaside villages such as Kini where there are beautiful beaches devoid of garish rows...

Malaga wines are enjoying a surge in popularity on the Costa del Sol. The wine growing areas in the Sierra de Almijara were once the main source of income for the area.
