Summary
Ermoupoli is a city full of contrasts. Here, imposing mansions coexist with cranes, scaffolding, and heavy industry. Join us on a journey through the industrial heritage of Syros and discover the history that lives on beneath the surface. Old factories that have been transformed, historical professions that have stood the test of time, and natural objects that reflect the lives of people from another era.
This is an easy cycling route, ideal for beginner cyclists, with no elevation differences. We will follow the bike path that runs along part of the coastline in the bay of Hermoupolis, staying on the main coastal road. In some places, the route also passes through busier streets.
Favourite part of the route: The periodic exhibitions of the Industrial Museum
