A local would say...

A medieval Catholic hill town in the middle of Greek Orthodox Greece — follow the alleys upward and you'll forget which century you're in.

Originally a medieval Catholic settlement perched atop a hill above Ermoupoli, Ano Syros has narrow lanes and whitewashed houses with stunning views toward other Cycladic islands. The centrepiece is the 13th-century Agios Georgios cathedral with its star-fretted barrel roof and baroque capitals. Follow your nose from the church past stunning viewpoints to reach the main street.
