church.

KINI (Settlement) SYROS
Leaving Galissa,
a short cut leads to Danakos

village where a special kind of magic is created, each evening, by the glowing
colours of the sunset. It is, without a doubt, your best choice for family vacations.
The view on the village is spectacular. Sunlight sparkles off the
white houses dotted along the bay, where small fishing boats float on the calm
and deep blue surface of the sea, with the hills of Pano Meria as a perfect backdrop.
The beaches of Kini and Lotos,
as well as that of the bay of Delfini
are among the most pristine on the island, with plenty of taverns and hotels nearby.
