The Greek Bucket List - Are these on Yours?


Written by: Irene Fantopoulos
We’ve seen many lists on just about everything. What we haven’t seen is Greek things to do before you die. 
Check out my top picks for the Greek bucket list.

Syros, Greece: Hidden Gem of the Aegean



It’s that time of year again, when many of us are planning our summer vacations. Perhaps Greece is your next destination, and while there you’re planning to visit the islands. Why not visit one of the less popular ones, like Syros found in the Cycladic cluster of islands in the Aegean.
Few are familiar with Syros, and if they are, it is in passing. Syros, is the capitol of the Cyclades and has made significant contributions to the Greek culture and economy. Syros was once the epicentre for justice, medicine and architecture for the Cyclades until the early 1900s.
