MUNICIPAL LIBRARY OF SYROS-ERMOUPOLI
A journey through time, through interactive games
An entertaining digital application for children aged ten or older is waiting for you at the Library of Syros-Ermoupoli, so that you can become acquainted with the stately capital through the local Press. Important public works, charity events and fiestas, political developments, rebellions, and so much more that occurred in Ermoupoli from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, are crammed into newspaper columns. Leaf through the old newspapers, search through their articles, play with their advertisements, and listen to recordings of lyric theatre from a bygone era, to bring news on the arts to life.
