Theosis Bar is a newer addition to Ano Syros. It's o wned by the same man who operates Kouchico — one of the best cocktail bars in Ermoupoli — and serves carefully curated and crafted drinks.

Definitely pay a visit Ano Syros, the upper part of Ermoupolis, where you can see the Catholic side of Syros's culture.

Ano Syros - upper town - is where the island's Catholic community live, with houses built around the Cathedral of Saint George which dominates the hill, Agios Georgios.

In Ano Syros, a hill town dotted with chapels and settled by Italians in the 13th Century – it’s still mostly Roman Catholic – I spot a British couple photographing a kitten.

“During the Greek War of Independence, Syros declared neutrality, so many refugees, including merchants and shipbuilders, fled from other islands and set up business here,” he explained.

Syros is an island of 22,000 souls in the Greek Cyclades that boasts a beautiful capital, Ermoupoli. John Malathronas visited and found a city that looks more Italian than Greek.
