Hermoupolis, the capital town, is a testament to the island's glorious past as a leading commercial and industrial center in Greece. Famed for its stunning neoclassical architecture and vibrant cultural heritage, Hermoupolis, the capital, is a landmark in its own right. The town bursts with grand mansions and landmarks like the Town Hall in Miaouli Square, the Apollo Theater, Vaporia District, Saint Nicholas Temple, Customs Office. The lively harbor, cultural institutions, and lively atmosphere with cafes, restaurants, shops and festivals further contribute to its status as a landmark.
