yros has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Homer was the first to
mention the island in the Odyssey (0,
line 409).
Syros was also home to Ferekides, Pythagoras’ teacher. You can still visit the cavern
where the great philosopher lived.
An independent democracy during the
Classical Era, Syros was a member of the
Athenian Alliance. Therefore, its fate followed
that of the rest of the Aegean islands: it fell
under the rule of the Macedonians, the
Rhodians, and the Romans. In the Byzantine
years, it ended up a poor and insignificant
island with very few inhabitants, the perfect
pirate lair. When the French, led by Markos
Sanoudos invaded Syros in 1207, they
founded the Ducat of the Aegean.
During the 360 years of French rule, the
locals converted to Catholicism. Syros was
the only Aegean island with its whole
population of 3,000 becoming Catholics.
The Italians used to call Syros ISOLA DEL
PAPA (the island of the Pope). The island
was protected and supported by France.
After Syros was reduced to rubble by the
Ottoman Turks in 1821, it was rebuilt as
Ermoupolis (city of Hermes, god of
commerce) by refugees from Kydonies,
Smyrna, Chios, and Psara. The commercial
and industrial growth that followed was
unprecedented for the newly-liberated Greek
state. One can imagine the glory of the times
by a simple look at the impressive buildings
of the town, designed by Italian and German
architects.
SIGHTSEEING
The Town Hall, by Ernst Chiller, looks
more like a palace. The first plans were made
in 1854 and Chiller broke ground in 1876.
The Mayor of Ermoupolis, Dimitris
Vafiadakis, was a great supporter of the
endeavor. In the Town Hall, you can still see
the straw cart that brought legendary theater
actress Maria Kotopouli to her last
performance.
The Apollon theater, is an exact replica of
La Skala of Milan.
The St. Nicholas church, one of the
richest in the Balkans, features works by
Russian artists, the most famous of which
are the Last Supper and The Pulpit.
The Evangelistria Catholic church. A
TRIKLITI (afto einai oros, den to vrisko)
basilica, it was built in the beginning of the
19th century.

CAFÉ ERMOU for coffee and drinks.
Interesting and extensive variety of hot or
iced teas and chocolate drinks.
ARCHAION and MATOKLADA, for Greek
entertainment until the wee hours in the
morning. TIPS
ñ Buy loukoumia (Turkish
delights) and halva-patties from
Kanakaris.
ñ Drop by the brand new DELIDELI where you will find
everything your heart desires. (7
Kyparissiou Stefanou, Ermoupoli)
ñ At Fotini Sigalas’ store, in the
quaint pedestrian walk in
Keramos, Ermoupoli, you will find
beautiful ceramics from all over
Greece.
ñ Marvel at the unique jewelry of
exquisite design in metal and
semi-precious stones created by
Ms. Axaopoulou, in her store on
Protopapadaki Street. Every piece
is so charming you won’t know
which to pick.
