We highly recommend Frini's house as a very special place to stay. It's in a beautiful location with spectacular views [of the countryside, Ermoupolis and the Aegean ] from the big first floor windows and the garden terrace. We slept so deeply partly due to the fresh air and walking but also because the accommodation is so comfortable. The bedroom is small and cool and the white embroidered bed linen beautiful. Frini's photos do not quite do the place justice it's much bigger than we thought and a lovely mix of modern and authentically Greek details / objects. We loved the island too, particularly as it is not over run with tourists. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and accessing the the island's beaches is very easy. We enjoyed exploring Syros on foot- Ermoupolis and Ano Syros as well as the surrounding countryside. We didn't hire a car there is no need to especially if you like to walk, in fact we returned fitter than we when we arrived. We have visited over 15 Greek island over 20 years and this holiday is one of our all time favourite experiences of Greece. The highlight was Frini and her Mom who were the best hosts you could hope for. So generous, kind and thoughtful. We had real fun eating and drinking with them. Frini was not there part of the week but was easily contacted by phone . Her mom Andriana was the kindest lady you could ever meet and also a great cook. She impressed us daily with utterly delicious Greek treats [ another reason to keep walking and not take a taxi up the hill]. The fridge was full when we arrived including tasty olives and home-made preserves. If you want an authentic Greek experience, meet real Greeks, enjoy their traditional food on an island not spoiled by tourism this is the place to be. We simply loved it and hope some day to return.
