Excursion: Syros Island Tour
Duration: 3 hours
On board price: € 42 per person
Syros was the largest cultural and trade center of the Aegean during the 19th century, and Ermoupolis was Greece’s principal port. Firstly inhabited by Phoenecians, then by Ionians and later taken by the Venetians, the island keeps a very different architectural style from the other Cycladic islands. Ermoupolis, the capital of Syros, stands on a naturally amphitheatrical site, with neo-classical buildings and old mansions. You will pass the villages of Vari and Chroussa until you reach the Posidonia Village. Here you will see the outside of the Benaki Mansion, a building that used to belong to one of the most renowned families in Greece and now serves as the Town Hall. In the next seaside village, Finikas, you will stop for some refreshments. You will then continue with your scenic drive through the villages of Giallissas and Talanta on your way back to Ermoupolis Town.

Excursion: Visit Ano Syros
Duration: 1.5 hours
On board price: € 28 per person
During Venetian time the Medieval Town of Ano Syros was built and Roman Catholicism spread. Ano Syros keeps its medieval architecture and from the port it is a long and strenuous uphill walk. On top of the hill is the Catholic Cathedral of St George and your coach will drop you off at a nearby area. You will visit the Catholic Cathedral built in the 14th century before descending on foot to visit the Cappuchin monastery of St John.
