Syros-Cyclades Islands

After some time and thinking about possible posts I decided to write about Syros. On papers Syros-Siros is the capital of Cyclades. For me though, Syros is something more than a capital, or a touristic destination or an ideal place for buying properties .

I always recall Syro's port and I recall my first impressions while I was approaching the island by the sea. I remember my try to see the port from all its possible angles. I saw the port from the Ano Hora. I saw the port on my way to Poseidonia. I saw the port arriving and leaving Syros and its time I was viewing and I was discovering something new.

Syros castle, located at the North part of the main town, was the castle protecting Syro's people from the frequent attacks of the Aegean Sea pirates. Let me remind you that Jules Verne's novel: The pirates of the Aegean Sea was inspired from that story. The same castle was used over the Ottoman empire to host Greeks from the other Greek islands when they were trying to escape from the Ottoman navy.

Syros for me though has an important personal value. Whenever I am visiting Syros, I am very emotional. Fortunately the beauty of the Aegean Sea nature is helping me to place my memories and feelings in order and to find after all my balance. Syros, an island that when you will visit, you will never forget it. I am strongly advising you to stay over the summer either at the main town (Hora) or at Poseidonia.

I will write more things about Syros and its fascinating history over time. For now, I felt that I should remind you for your summer plans, a unique island: Siros .
