Metaxas and the consent of King Otto. The church was finally completed in 1870.

Since the 19th century the district has been named after these incredible residences, known as Vaporia, that seem to hover above the rocks and continues to be renowned as the most prestigious district at the eastern part of Syros. This is a beautiful and picturesque area with a small beach called “Stars” suitable for swimming and relaxation in summertime. 5 Ano Syros – Founded in 1200 by the Venetians, Ano Syros is still inhabited throughout the course of history while maintaining its Catholic and medieval character. A city characterized by countless steps that pass by the white houses and arches at the edge of the hill leading to the top of the settlement where the Catholic Cathedral of Saint George is situated. The town was gradually created, amphitheatrically on the rocks like a natural fortress, so as to keep its residents safe from several attacks while the exterior walls of all the houses formed a natural fort protecting the locals from the raids. The narrow cobblestone streets gave residents the opportunity to hide from the various pirate attacks, while the wooden doors at the entrances of Portara, Epano & Kato Terma, Skalakia and Sabastias completely sealed the city from any invasion. Today it constitutes the island’s historic base, offering a plethora of tourist facilities, restaurants, taverns, cultural landmarks and attractions. 6 Chalandriani and Kastri – Chalandriani is a prehistoric citadel dating back to the 3rd millennium BC.

We do not know which was the first people to settle here, but it could have been Phoenicians. •Syros is located in the center of the Cyclades island group in the Aegean Sea, just a few miles away from its sister islands of Mykonos, Tinos, Milos and Santorini and only three and a half hours away from Athens. •Syros is one of a few places in the world where Orthodox and Catholic Easter are celebrated on the same day. •Hermoupolis, the capital of Syros, has dozens of cafes, ouzeries, restaurants of all types and a shopping district that rivals Mykonos. •The most striking feature of the island is the Venetian influence. Just like most of the Cycladic islands, the Venetians came here in the beginning in the 13th century, and were to stay until the Turks took over in the 16 the century. .All the beaches of the island are 5 to 10 min away by car (5 to 12 km). The town of the island, Hermoupolis, is 3 km away from the house. The best way to explore and enjoy the beauties of the island is by car or motorcycle.
