Easter: Family vacations on magnificent Syros

According to the weather forecast, we will welcome Easter with daylong sunshine and high temperatures. Therefore, we thought it would be a great idea to recommend you the lovely Syros island as your Easter holiday destination.

If you arrive on Good Friday, you will have the opportunity to watch and join the Epitaphios procession that starts from every church in Ermoupoli town - be it catholic or orthodox. The processions all meet in central Miaouli Square facing the Town Hall where Good Friday hymns are chanted by the chorus of St. Nicholas’ orthodox parish. You can also enjoy a lenten meal in the magnificent and unique neoclassical town in Greece, Ermoupolis.



On Holly Saturday you can visit some of the most picturesque villages of Syros: Finika, Posidonia, Vari and Azolimnos.

In Ermoupolis, you can visit the famous City Hall (designed by Ernst Ziller), the first opera house in Greece, the “Apollon”, the Cultural Center, the Vaporia district with the mansions of the wealthy people of 19th century and the church of St. Nicholas.
