Galissas Beach
The beach on Syros that locals send you to when you ask. A semi-enclosed sandy bay on the west coast, tamarisk shade, a small village behind, and water that stays warm into October.

From the editor
"Hi, I'm Claire. We make bnsmag because we wanted somewhere to write about the beaches we've actually stood on. Every review here is on-the-ground: water, sand, crowd, access, what to know before you go. No press trips. No comp rooms. If a place is in these pages, one of us has been."
Claire Vincent, Editor
