A digital nomad’s guide to working remotely from Syros
You know that feeling of being on holiday on a Greek summer island. The Mediterranean food, the smiling locals, the sunset walks on the beach, the freedom, the culture… What would you give to make it all part of your everyday life? Well, more and more people are choosing to work remotely from Greece and Syros has all the facilities that have made the dream come true for many digital nomads already.
Syros is an island with a unique blend of cosmopolitan and Cycladic charm, where you can start your day on the beach and end it in the theater.
Above all, it’s an island with a wonderful mix of contrasts that perfectly matches the interests and lifestyle of a digital nomad. From the splendor of Ermoupoli to the Cycladic beauty and Venetian charm of Ano Syros, the diversity of the island is amazing, whether you are traveling alone or with your family or friends.
An all-year-round destination
Most importantly for digital nomads, Syros is a Greek island with all the infrastructure to support a year-round population. As the capital of the Cyclades islands, there are public and consular services, banks, courts and a significant number of permanent businesses.
There are bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as hotels and other accommodation options that operate throughout the year and good medical services.
Access couldn’t be easier, with an airport receiving flights from Athens and Thessaloniki and regular ferry services from Piraeus (the port of Athens) and other Cyclades islands.
The internet in Syros is reliable and fast, with an integrated network covering the island and offering fast internet speeds of up to 200Mbps in some areas.
And with more and more professionals choosing to work remotely from Syros, co-living spaces have opened and there are community events with other digital nomads.
