Syros (1x8)

:

Despina Vandi guides us to the capital of the Cyclades, the beautiful Syros. The tour starts from Ermoupolis: Marble-paved streets, beautiful neoclassical buildings starring the 19th century Town Hall in the central square and very close to the famous Apollo Theater, where Despina meets the dance group from the Traditional Syros Workshop "Aroma Paradisi". Despina then visits the imposing Holy Church of St. Nicholas and after the historic settlement of Ano Syros and its famous alleys, as well as the Catholic Church of San George. After all, Orthodox and Catholics have been in harmony with Syros for years. In Ano Syros, Markos Vamvakaris wrote Fragosiriani and we learn a lot about the life of this great Greek composer of rebetiko and folk song. Vangelis Driskas presents the unique Syrian products. With local cheeses, sausages, fennel and delicacies it combines savory and sweet dishes in amazing locations. Syros a Cycladic island with life all year long!
