The capital of Syros, Ermoupolis, is also known by the name Hermoupolis - or more poetic; The Queen of the Cyclades. It is cloaked in history going back several milliniums.

Today Syros is making a living from tourism, agricultural production and the presence of the University in Ermoupolis.

Miaouli square in Ermoupolis was build in the beginning of the 19th century and is one of the biggest and rarest squares in Greece.

Syros has hosted Syros International Filmfestival since 2012 and the festival in 2016 takes place from July the 28th to August the first. The Filmfestival is open to the public and uses various spaces around the island (both traditional screening spaces and unusual ones), and collaborate with different local groups.
