This apparently seems to be a very desolate place, but as quick as you make a turn around a point the main town comes into view. It is a very common stop for trips all across the Aegean because of its location and size. The main town (Siros or Ermoupolis) has 13,000 inhabitants and is supposedly very clean and well built. What is obvious about the place when your boat is docking is the number of industries. It is one of the most industrialized towns in Greece with many cotton mills and tanneries. It is also well known for the neoclassical architecture of many of its buildings. Like every town of its size, Ermoupolis also has an Archaeological Museum , but theirs was founded in 1835 and has been housed in the same building since 1899. It has some Cycladic art as its main attraction, as well as the usual assortment of classical and hellenistic works.
