SYROS

Syros

Syros, belonging to the Cyclades island group, dominates the heart of the Aegean with its dynamic character and the cosmopolitan grace of a queen. It is the island where Greek tradition and western influence coexist harmoniously.

The capital of Syros island, Ermoupoli, has been the first important trade and industrial center of the country in the 19th century and is considered as one of the most picturesque Cyclades capitals. Venetian mansions, spectacular sunset views, narrow alleys, neoclassical buildings, impressive catholic and orthodox churches, ooze a fairytale charm.

Evidence of Ermoupolis’ glorious past can be seen on public buildings, such as the City Hall, the Customs Office, Apollo theatre, on the neoclassical houses and its beautiful squares. Due to its economic activity,

Ermoupoli has been called “Manchester of Greece” and the history of its blossom years is exhibited in the Industrial Museum.
The Orthodox community has contributed some outstanding religious monuments to the architecture of Ermoupoli such as the churches of Metamorphossi tou Sotiros. The medieval quarter of the Roman Catholic community and the fortress-like St George’s cathedral are on St George hill, also named Ano Syros. Walk up the stairs to the top of the hill, to admire a breathtaking view of the island.
