Syros is located in the centre of the Cyclades and according to archaeological evidence, it was first inhabited in prehistoric times (4000 BC) and later in the Cycladic period (3000 BC). The first settlers in the history of Syros were the Phoenicians who moved to the Cyclades, while in the 6th century, Syros was inhabited by the Samians. Ancient Hermoupolis was built by the Ionians and later inhabited by Persians, Romans, Franks and Turks, every single of which left their cultural traces. However, the Venetians played a very important role in the cultural development of the island, making Syros an important commercial center in the Eastern Mediterranean. When the French conquered the island in the 17th century, Syros was inhabited by a large number of Catholics, the well-known order of capuchins who founded a small monastery that remains active until today. The island flourished after the Greek revolution of 1821, when a huge wave of immigrants from Psara, Chios, Crete and Asia Minor settled in Syros using the island as the center of their commercial and maritime activities. The period of prosperity lasted until the beginning of the 20th century with the arrival of German troops in Syros.
The Town Hall of Ermoupolis is located in Miaoulis Square. The particular architecture combines the atmosphere of classical ancient Greece with the romance of the West and its general style belongs to the neoclassical architectural style, obviously influenced by German and Italian architects. The Town Hall of Ermoupolis built between 1876 and 1898 when the mayor of Ermoupolis was D. Vafiadakis. It was designed by Ernst Ziller, a Bavarian architect who knew how to leave a clear trace in the 19th-century architecture. The central part is made entirely of marble and inside there is a marble hanging staircase that leads to the first floor. The conference room, where the local government meets, has oil paintings depicting King George I and Queen Olga. The Town Hall also hosts the Archaeological Museum of Syros, the Court, the Land Registry, the Public Archives and some other public services.
Vaporia is a wonderful neighborhood around the port of Ermoupolis, the capital of Syros. Vaporia was the most important commercial district of the island in the 19th century, as most commercial agreements on the island took place in the stores there and the products were loaded onto the ships for export. Today this district is an architectural grandeur with beautiful mansions built in neoclassical style, paved paths and beautiful arches, making it the most picturesque district of Ermoupolis. The houses in this district belonged to wealthy shipowners and captains of Syros, so it was the richest area of the city. Most of the mansions of Vaporia have been recently renovated without affecting significantly their architectural beauty. Some of the residential mansions have now been converted into hotels and traditional guesthouses.
The Apollo Municipal Theatre of Ermoupolis was built in 1864 by the Italian architect Pietro Sabo. You will find it in Miaoulis Square, in the center of Ermoupolis. It is made of white marble and limestone and has two floors. It also has many beautiful murals and wooden layers. On your way in, you may even begin to wonder what famous European theatre reminds you of. Don't go too far, just until... Milan, since the Apollo Municipal Theatre is a miniature of the Milan Ladder! This theatre hosted the first opera in Greece, since until 1944 only Italian operas were often performed there. In 1944 the building was almost completely destroyed by the Germans; in 1970 an unsuccessful attempt was made to restore the theatre, while later, another attempt produced better results and today the Municipal Theatre of Apollo hosts some of the most important events taking place in Ermoupolis.
The Greek delight of Syros has its roots in Asia Minor and first appeared on the island in 1832, when refugees from Chios arrived. The creator of the first loukoumi in Syros was Mr. Stamatelakis. The ingredients used for the preparation of the doughnuts are water, sugar and starch, while the preparation process is very difficult and time consuming. In Syros you will find Greek delights with various flavors such as rose, mastic, bergamot, mandarin, coconut and many others, as well as various fillings such as nuts!
You can't leave Syros without having tasted its aromatic sausages. They are made from pork and have a special taste due to the fennel with which they are flavored. Apart from the fennel sausages, in Syros you will also find spicy sausages, which take their tang from the garlic they contain. Typical are the images of the butchers you will come across while strolling around the island, with sausages hanging outside them, giving you an appetite to try them!
San Michalis cheese is a traditional cheese that you will find in the village of Ai Michalis in Syros, which is a product with a protected designation of origin (PDO) since 1996. It is one of the most expensive cheeses you will come across on the island and will give you a unique spicy taste. It is a hard, yellow cheese, made from cow's milk and very similar to parmesan, leaving light aromas of hazelnuts and nuts. You will find it in a cheese platter, in appetizers as a table cheese or as an accompaniment for pasta.
