The Experience

Immerse yourself in Syros Island's rich and sustainable heritage and travel back in time to the nineteenth- and twentieth-century heyday of the textile industry with our exclusive Hermoupolis Cotton Tour. You'll meet your guide at the historic Iroon Square, where workers once gathered. Then you will embark on a captivating walking tour through the city, delving into the architecture, production processes, and compelling stories of factory owners and workers in five textile museums —taking a break to enjoy local figs and sample traditional mastic liqueur. The tour culminates at the Hermoupolis Textile Museum, where you'll experience the sights, sounds, and even smells of this former factory before concluding with a tasty lunch. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders.
