Ano Syros was built by the Venetians at the beginning of the 13th century on a hill north-west of Ermoupoli. It is home to one of the biggest Roman Catholic communities in Greece with own institutions. It offers a marvellous view to Ermoupolis and certainly worths walking, or rather climbing and descending, through its narrow streets, with their coloured doors, before reaching the top of the village where also a café restaurant is to be found
