Greece: Hermoupolis

This morning we visited the town of Hermoupolis on the Greek island of Syros, in the Cyclades. The entire town is picturesque. There are neo-classical buildings, building with Venetian influence, and as I am not an architecture expert, I am not sure what other styles there are. Many of the buildings are painted in beautiful pastels, and most have lovely metal railings. The alleys and streets are tiny, windy, and lined with stone. Bougainvillea climbs up houses and flowers in color that competes with the gorgeous blue sky.
