Overview

Syros is not a typical Cycladic Island.

During the 19th century, Hermoupolis, its capital, was the major commercial, financial and industrial centre of Greece, also known as the «Manchester of the Mediterranean»!

This is why, in one part of the city there are neoclassical, impressive buildings of the bourgeois class, while in the other half, you can walk through an amazing industrial wasteland, full of tanneries, warehouses, textile factories, Neorio shipyard and working class areas.

During this walking tour you will:
familiarise yourself with Hermoupolis amazing industrial past,
walk along the ruins of many 19th century factories and get to know the family stories of the people that owned them,
learn about the working and living conditions of Hermoupolis working class.

Dive into the city's miraculous industrial past!

The tour can be done either in English or Greek.
