OUR ISLAND
The capital of the Cyclades, Ermoupoli, was and is a unique city in the centre of the Aegean. Its stately atmosphere, its long history, tradition and architecture all make it an outstanding destination for every traveller. The public buildings, designed primarily by famous architects, such as Sampo, Erlacher and Ziller, the historic Town Hall, the “Leschi” building, the Apollo Theatre, the design of which was based on the Scala Theatre in Milan and on other famous theatres in Europe, and the wonderful neoclassical mansions, are all an integral part of the island’s timeless beauty. Syros is an excellent destination at any time of year, and is an important commercial, tourist and administrative centre which is famous throughout the world.
