After a very long absence, I returned to the Greek islands and specifically to Syros, in the heart of Cyclades—a group of islands three hours from Athens, mostly known for the Cycladic civilization and the cosmopolitan islands of Santorini and Mykonos. Like every island in the Aegean Sea, Syros has a defining characteristic—its Latin influence.
As the ship begun turning to starboard, Ermoupoli and its hospitable port filled the horizon. The capital of Syros is built amphitheatrically on a series of hills. Two big churches on the two highest hilltops reveal the island’s modern history in a single gaze. The catholic St. George on the left and the orthodox church of the Resurrection to the right.
