Syros, Greece


We arrived early morning in Syros, the capital of the Cyclades. We took a morning walking tour of the town with Maria and the group and then broke away from the group for some exploring on our own.  There were a couple of interesting churches.  These were nice stores selling produce, pastries, etc.  We bought several bars of olive oil soap.  This island is different from the rest in that it is not a tourist destination.  Most of the stores closed at 3 p.m.


Most of the afternoon was spent resting and packing for tomorrow's departure from the ship.  The Captain's farewell toast was in the evening, followed by yet another delicious dinner.
