Syros
is found almost in the centre of Cyclades, 83
naval miles from Piraeus and 62
naval miles from Rafina. The travel with ferry-boat
lasts roughly four hours, while with the modern
speedboats it lasts least from thrice hours.
She is gone around Easterly from islands Andro,
Tino, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, westwards from
Siphnos, Serifos, Kythnos, Kea and from north
the Gyaro. From the hill of Ano Syra the visitor
can see all these islands and immediately he
will understand why Syros developed in
administrative, commercial, intellectual and
cultural centre of Cyclades.
It has population
roughly 25 thousands residents, orthodox and
Catholics and her capital is Ermoupolis "The
Sovereign of Aegean" built in the hills
that surround the harbor. You will charm
immediately by her impressive architecture which
is perhaps the unique classic city that has
remained in Greece. An architecture of that
witness the history of Syros that begins from
the ancient years and leads in today. A
combination of old with the new, classic with
the modern.
The northern part
of island is named Apano Meria (Above Side) and
is mountainous, while in the southern part that
is flat we find most settlements, villages and
beaches of Syros. Apano Meria with her
picturesqueness and her calm calls you to
explore her while the streets and the paths are
minimal but you lead through a astonishing
landscape with rocks, caves, bridges in the
virgin beaches of the island. On the contrary
the southern part of Syros has excellent roads
that connect all the villages between them but
also with Ermoupoli. The cities here are
developed tourist with modern Hotels
installations and organized beaches.
