PhotoPOSTcard: Syros Island, Greece

Siros Greece

Last Updated on 09/30/21 by Rose Palmer

Day 1 with the Running On Waves sailing cruise in Greece was at the island of Syros. The island’s capital city Ermoupolis climbs up two hillsides from the harbor and on top of one hill is a catholic church and on top of the other is a Greek Orthodox church. Unlike the whitewashed houses of the other Cyclades islands, the neoclassical architecture here is was built by the wealthy shipping merchants that settled the island in the 1820’s.

Thanks for visiting.
