Overview
Syros is not a typical Cycladic Island. It has played a significant role in Greek modern history and, even today, it is full of contradictions. In one part of the city, you see the neoclassical buildings of the Vaporia neighborhood and the impressive Town Hall, while in the other, the industrial wasteland of many tannery and textile factories. Due to its industrial past, Hermoupolis was also known as the «Manchester of the Mediterranean»!
During the tour you will:
# familiarise yourself with the rich industrial past of Hermoupolis
# walk along the ruins of some of the most important factories of that time (some of them under new use) and learn about the stories of the families that owned them and their role in Greek history
# learn about the working and living conditions of the workers of the factories, who were mostly refugees.
Embark on a journey that will take you beneath the glossy surface of Hermoupolis.
Dive into the city's miraculous industrial past!
