Pherecydes' Cave (Syros)
37° 28.1′ N · 24° 56.3′ E · approximate
A cave above the north-east coast traditionally tied to Pherecydes of Syros (about 600-550 BC), the philosopher said to have taught Pythagoras.
Practical
Coordinate is approx: it is the OSM cave-entrance node, in the hills north of Ermoupoli. No guide describes the access path; ask locally. syros.gr lists a bust of Pherecydes among the island's highlights.
