most beautiful harbors in Greece with its history wandering on
its wharf. Completely equipped it is still an important junction
today that many ships visit on a daily basis to rest from their
long journey. There they are kept company by the view of this
one of a kind city of Ermoupolis with its neoclassical buildings
that are spread along the length of the hill and which is a sign
of the magic that unfolds inside of its graphic back streets.

appearance of the city gave you the impression that
nothing can fit between the houses that are built very
close to one another, then you will pleasantly discover

good taste.
The Town Hall of Siros stands dominantly in all its
grandeur. It is one of those buildings that will challenge

"Bravo" to Tsiler who constructed it. The imposing architecture
is not the only main characteristic of its exterior
look, but also its interior is decorated with an amazing
staircase of large width, constructed in its whole from
marble.

Bandstand, but also something else that is found hidden
in the soul and heart of every person from Siros and
every visitor of the island. It is the countless precious
