From our local specialist
From our local specialist
"When I have a bit of free time, I like to watch the world go by from the cafés and bars of the main square in Hermoupolis. If I’m there in the late afternoon, I’ll stroll over to the mediaeval quarter of Ano Syra to watch the sun sink into the sea."
