Perched on a hill above Ermoupoli, Ano Syros is a charming medieval settlement founded by Venetians. Its narrow, labyrinthine streets are lined with whitewashed houses and arches, leading to the Catholic Cathedral of Saint George at the summit. Visitors can explore artisan shops, enjoy local cuisine at tavernas, and soak in sweeping views of the Aegean Sea and the city below. The area's preserved character offers a glimpse into Syros's past.
