Gateway to the capital island of the Cyclades.
Location
Syros Island, Greece
Syros Airport (IATA: JSY, ICAO: LGSO) is a small regional airport serving Syros Island, the administrative capital of the Cyclades island group in the South Aegean region of Greece. It is located near the island's main city of Ermoupoli and handles primarily domestic seasonal traffic.
The airport supports tourism and connectivity for the island during the peak summer season, with limited year-round scheduled services. Given the island's relatively small size and population, operations are modest compared to larger Greek island airports.
Syros is also well connected by ferry to Piraeus and other Cycladic islands, meaning air travel supplements rather than dominates inter-island transport for residents and visitors.
Terminals
The airport operates a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a minor Greek island airport.
Getting to & from
Taxis are the primary ground transport option between the airport and Ermoupoli, the island's main town, as scheduled bus services to the airport are limited.
Airlines here
Sky Express and Olympic Air have historically operated domestic routes connecting Syros to Athens, with seasonal service variations.
