Agios Nikolaos Church Ploussios

Reviewed By 135Eleni - Adelaide, Australia

A beautiful Greek Orthodox cathedral up from the harbour and 3 min from Miaouli square Syros is an interesting island as 2 religions are practised - Orthodox and Catholic and both have a strong presence although St Nick in Ano Syros is definitely the “poor” - small, with much less adornment. Back to Ermoupolis and St Nick Ploussios had quite a bit of money donated by the wealthy ship owners business and govt to build and adorn after liberation from Ottoman occupation - marble abounds as it does in all of Ermoupolis. grand mansions, opera house and churches. The bishopric for the Cyclades is in Syros as well Beautiful lead light, sculpture of Christ, Icons by renown iconographers and monks from Mt Argos. At the top of stairs under the verandah is a large iron bell - probably from a ship Wonderful bright colors in ceiling - highly decorative in many ways quite showy and beautiful Stands alone in the square with a rather nice garden with some palm trees among the plants and statues on plinths Well worth going in an admiring this church

A place for reflection, no matter what your religious beliefs happen to be. The high backed seats with a plaque "Andron" - Men amused me.

Plateia Miaouli

Reviewed By Rebellos7

Located in the very center, the Miaouli Square (Plateia Miaouli) is the main square of the island of Syros and the City of Ermoupolis, which hosts the Ermoupolis City Hall (a truly unique building). The afternoon hours the light becomes wonderful over the square, which is always full of life of locals, childern and tourists.
