It is believed that it was formed from the word ‘sireon,’ which means ‘the land of Sirens.’ First inhabitants of the city believed that mermaids, or sirens, have lived in these places. Their divine songs have attracted sailors to the island; subsequently they couldn’t keep themselves from staying in that picturesque area. That is the legend described by Homer in his Odyssey.
