Greece Saint Nikolas Church, Syros

Vaporia, the most picturesque quarter of Ermoupolis Syros around the port of Ermoupolis, the capital of Syros. Vaporia used to be the most important trading quarter of the island in the 19th century. Today this quarter is an architectural splendor with beautiful mansions constructed in the neoclassical style, paved paths and beautiful arches, which make it the most picturesque quarter in Ermoupolis. Just in front of Vaporia, whose name means "ship" in Greek, there is the church of Saint Nikolas, the patron saint of Ermoupolis and one of the two churches that you see as the ferry approaches the island. It rained on that day and as I was walking back to the hotel, the road brightened up. I looked back and stood in awe.

It is worthwhile to enter the church but the entire surrounding is a photographer's paradise. In order to take this church with its two towers take your widest lens with you.

By boat or by foot.
