Vari
Παραλία Βάρη
⛱️ Sunbeds & umbrellas👨👩👧 Family-friendly
A deep, almost enclosed bay on the south-east coast with a long sandy beach and a village behind it. The water is shallow a long way out and almost always flat, which makes Vari the obvious family beach on Syros. Hotels, tavernas and a regular bus from Ermoupoli, ten minutes away over the hill.
