Показать описание
Join me on my short tour around Ermopouli, the capital of Syros Island in Greece.

Syros is the administrative capital of the Cyclades Islands & due to its Italian heritage, the architecture is very different, looking more at home in Venice than a Greek island. The main port town (Ermoupoli) is flanked by two hills, each topped by a church. One is Catholic, and one is Orthodox to reflect the beliefs of the island.

As you can see, Syros is stunning! We start with a walk up to the top of Ano Syros for sunset, so be prepared for steps…& lots of them! Then head to Astoria beach to cool off…before being flooded out by a passing ferry!

Due to its importance, Syros is more functional than a tourist island which makes a refreshing change compared to the bigger & more popular islands in the Cyclades.

How did you like it compared to Naxos or Paros. I haven't decided on my second island yet. I will visit Santorini and one other. Thoughts ?

The town looks lovely, but the hillsides seem barren. I thought they have wild fig trees growing all around the island.

Aloha!
I’m exploring moving to Syros as a DN. Is there an expat community in Syros? And are they older people?
