Our virtual walk will end at the end of the small pier just north of the beach, but we will still teleport you to the small church of Analipseos, which is 400m further up, at the end of the road that runs along the shore and climbs gently from here. |
Azolimnos Beach (5) | | |
A last small patch of sand and the coast becomes rocky again, sloping gently up towards Cape Kremasti, where the white silhouette of the Analipseos church can be seen very vaguely. |
North pier | | |
Here we are at the end of the virtual stroll, facing the crystal clear waters of the magnificent beach of Azolimnos, with the islet of Aspro in the distance, off Cape Fokotrypes. |
Sea front (1) | | |
Our virtual stroll in Azolimnos starts here, north of Cape Ghria Bouda and its small harbour. A little further south is Cape Fokotrypes, the easternmost point of Syros. |

The first jetty and its tiny piece of sand... but no, we haven't reached the beach yet! |

Caution: the satellite map below no longer corresponds to the current reality. The sidewalk has been widened by removing the parking spaces as you can see on this panorama shot in October 2020.. |

We arrive at the second pier, which marks the beginning of the sandy beach. |

If it weren't for the blue sea and sky and the salt deposits embedded in the rocks, you'd think you were on Planet Mars. |

We pass by the arrival of the access road (it starts from the main road along the south of Syros from Poseidonia, shortly after the village of Vari). Here you will find a large free car park. |

A few more metres of rocky coastline and we will arrive at the first pier. On the other side of the road begin to line up taverns and cafes. |

View from the pier (1) | | |
The beach is not very big but the sea is extraordinarily transparent, really inviting for swimming. |
