I've been trying to learn Greek a couple of years now. A quick lesson.
Γύρος is the spelling in Greek First letter is gamma which is indeed a g sound. But the second letter is key. It's an ipsilon with an e sound. A few letters in Greek have this sound. If any of those letters follow a gamma the gamma is pronounced as a y. So Giros is pronounced yeeros or yiros.
Side note. Yeeros means turn.
Edit. Ive probably quoted wrong person

Next time i see the Polish owner of Gyros and Kebab grill house in Blackburn, West Lothian, I'll ask him to pronounce it. I used to deliver for the last two Italian owners but due to work i can't do it for the new owners. Place is booming.I've been trying to learn Greek a couple of years now. A quick lesson.

Funny that.
My Cypriot mates pronounce it the way I posted.
But hey ho- a slightly different dialect I imagine.

All sheep shaggers according to my Greek mates.
The nationality might affect the pronunciation. Try asking a Greek person.

My tutors are Greek people. Enlighten me to what is incorrect.
