Syros-Ermoupoli, Nam Aegea, Hy Lạp

Syros (Greek: Σύρος), or Siros or Syra, is a Greek island in the Cyclades, in the Aegean Sea. It is located 78 nautical miles (144 km) south-east of Athens. The area of the island is 83.6 km² (32 sq mi).

The largest towns are Ermoupoli, Ano Syros, and Vari. Ermoupoli is the capital of the island, the Cyclades, and the South Aegean. It has always been a significant port town, and during the 19th century, it was even more significant than Piraeus. Other villages are Galissas, Foinikas, Pagos, Manna, Kini, and Poseidonia.

Metabasite associations (metagabbros, eclogites, and glaucophanites) from ophiolite suites (spreading ridge near a transform fault/back-arc setting).
Localities: Panavlies, Grizas, Vapori, Manna, Finikas, and Charrasson.
Host rocks: polymetamorphic psammitic schists (flysch), marbles, acid gneisses, volcanoclastic schists, and associated metabasites.

Sulphide mineralisations in schists and marbles.
