Syra, in the Archipelago, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Syra, in the Archipelago, 1856. View of Syros... one ot the islands of the Grecian Archipelago, lying among the Cyclades...It is the residence of consuls of most European States, and a principal station of the Mediterranean steamers going to and from Constantinople...The island has...a population of 30, 000. As our Artist sketched it from the sea, its mountainous surface, rising northward 4000 feet, had a striking appearance. Many parts are fertile, producing corn, wine, figs, silk, and cotton. The capital - Syra, or Hermopolis - lies on the eastern shore, around its harbour..."Travellers who go to Greece without knowing a word of Greek need not fear a moment's embarrassment; they will find already at Syra, not only Antonio, but five or six other servants...who speak French, English, and Italian, and who will conduct them almost without cheating them to one of the hotels of the town". From "Illustrated London News", 1856
