We did the 8pm tour in English and our guide was Elli. She was fantastic! Great communication skills and very friendly. The space is amazing and definitely you don't expect what you are going to see. We were lucky, cause we haven't researched a lot about it before hand which made the experience even more valuable. Highly recommended! Dimitris and his team have done wonders in turning this abandoned weaving plant into a monument of personal taste and creativity. A must for all visitors to Syros, as well as for event and conference organizers -this truly is one of Greece’s most inspiring and original venues.. What a mind-blowing experience. Walking through the rescued and impeccably restored textile factory, was like walking back in time and walking into an authentic experience in history. The space is beautifully restored with hundreds of original items exhibited. The atmosphere is mesmerising. You can also have a drink there in this beautiful space and absorb all the history and the vibes of a different era. If you understand Greek language DO NOT MISS the interactive theatrical monologue. The actress will take you through the while introducing you to real persons that used to work in the actual factory. JUST AMAZING… A MUST SEE ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE. Do not miss it… This was such a fun way to learn about the once thriving textile industry on the island. This specific closed abruptly and to this day, no one knows why. Tour lasted an hour. We did NOT purchase the "lunch" meal option. I don't think it's necessary to get the full effect. We went end of September and purchased our tickets 2 days in advance. There were only 6 people in our group (max is 25) Perfect tour by Iliana. She provided a clear picture of the workings of the and how the workers operated the equipment. And of she ended with the mystery...why the closed. No answer just some guesses. Highly recommend as part of any visit to Syros. Fascinating museum to visit on Syros in the old industrial part of Hermoupolis. Well worth the €10 entrance fee for this unique exhibit that has lovingly preserved the last textile on the island and a slice of Syros’ important industrial past. All the looms and machinery are frozen in time because of the factory’s abrupt closure in 1986. The old can also be rented for events, parties, weddings, etc. Tea and local goodie’s are included with entrance and the friendly guide gave us wonderful information. This place is magical ✨️ and the mystery of the closure of the makes it even more attractive. Totally worth the visit The atmosphere in the “salvaged” old is very absorbing. The exhibition items are interesting but not unique. What was interesting was the hall were the old machinery was located . In any case 10 Euros entrance fee per person is on the high side. On the minus side it is difficult to locate the entrance and we nearly left without entering Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
