Excursion to Ermupoli - acquaintance with the island of Syros

A tour of Ermupoli is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the main city of the island of Syros and discover little-known, but surprisingly interesting pages of the history of the Cyclades. A walk along the cozy streets accompanied by a professional Russian-speaking guide will allow you to feel the special atmosphere of the city, where the elegance of neoclassical architecture of the XIX century is harmoniously combined with the aristocratic past.

During a tour of Syros, you will see the famous Apollo Theatre – “Little La Scala” of the Aegean Sea, walk along the marble stairs of Miauli Square, look into the atmospheric coffee shops near the port and learn why Ermupoli bears the name of the god Hermes – the patron of trade and travel. The guide will tell you how the first factories appeared on the island and how the city became the industrial and cultural center of the Aegean region of the XIX century in just a few decades.

The tour of Ermupoli passes by Orthodox and Catholic churches, ancient shopping arcades, majestic town hall and architectural monuments reflecting the unique synthesis of Greek and European traditions. You will learn about the Ottoman period in the history of the island and how the fate of Syros changed over the centuries.

Today Ermupoli is not only the cultural heart of the island, where festivals, concerts and exhibitions take place, but also an ideal place for leisurely walks and gastronomic discoveries. At the end of the tour, you will have the opportunity to try the famous Siros lukums, a traditional delicacy that the island is rightfully proud of.
