Symi to Syros is a long crossing of roughly ten hours on Blue Star Ferries' Blue Star 2, running from the Dodecanese across the Aegean into the Cyclades. It is a large conventional ferry with cabins, reclining seats, lounges and open decks, which makes the length comfortable. Most of the journey is open water, so it is a proper sea day rather than a hop.

Syros is the administrative capital of the Cyclades and its main town, Ermoupoli, is unlike anywhere else in the group, built on nineteenth-century shipping wealth with grand neoclassical architecture, a marble main square and an opera house. Two hilltop neighbourhoods overlook the harbour, Catholic Ano Syros and Orthodox Vrontado, each with its church at the summit. It functions as a working town first and a resort second, and it stays busy year-round.

Sailings on this pairing run about once a week, so dates rather than times will shape the plan. The current schedule and fares are shown below. Syros is one of the main Cycladic ferry hubs, so onward connections to Mykonos, Paros, Naxos, Tinos and Piraeus are plentiful.
