A bustling and vibrant nighttime scene in the city of Ermoupoli on the Greek island of Syros. The image captures a street view with an impressive neoclassical building at the center, featuring a grand colonnaded entrance with arched doorways illuminated from within. The building's architectural style bears a distinct Venetian influence, with ornate details and columns. The street is lined with elegant residential buildings and shops, their facades glowing warmly in the night. People are seen strolling along the paved street, creating a lively atmosphere. In the distance, the iconic Greek Orthodox church can be seen perched atop a hill, its domed roof and crosses standing out against the deep blue night sky. The image exudes a sense of history, culture, and the charm of a traditional Greek island town.

One of the most underrated Greek islands, in my opinion: Syros. @discoversyros •• It’s main city Ermoupoli, the capital of the Aegean with a marked Venetian influence, is incredibly impressive. Unlike other islands, Syros is known not so much for its beaches (though I consider many of them pretty as well), but more for its beautiful, aristocratic old town, full of stunning neoclassical buildings and historic Orthodox and Catholic Churches dotting the hill. •• For me, it’s the island my grandmother is from, where I still have relatives I visit every year. I spent my childhood years exploring almost every alley in Ermoupoli, and I still play a game where I try to make my way down to the massive town square (seen here) following narrow island stairs and alleys, without once hitting an actual street. •• I am blessed to have family here and be able to return so frequently. Do you have any place you visit again and again? . . . . . #syros #visitgreece #discovergreece #greece🇬🇷
