If you wish to experience true Greek hospitality and enjoy a beautifully clean and traditionally furnished Greek farm cottage , then I would highly recommend Anna’s cottages.
Being met by your charming and kind host as you arrive on the lovely island of Siros , is wonderful. Anna is both interesting and kind.
The Cottage ( very well equipped indeed), is quiet and private . We loved the produce from Anna’s farm, fresh oranges and lemons , the eggs, the olive oil and the wine . Thoughtful gifts.
A 20 minute pleasant walk to a very nice small beach ( Vari), a friendly bakery plus supermarket are all close by too.
Anna offered to drive us into Ermoupoli the following day, where she pointed out places of interest ( a lovely little city,) and the car/scooter bike hire offices which as usual, are along the quay side , along with ticket offices. A short walk up to the town square brings one to the super small and very important Archeological Museum . In this square there is also the city bicycle hire network that you will see in cities across Europe .
We hired a scooter for our stay ( do check the tyres if you hire one) and having transport is an advantage.
The nearest pharmacy is on the right hand side a couple of miles from Anna’s on the Ermoupoli road and here there is an excellent pharmacist who also speaks good English. She will also direct you to the highly efficient microbiology laboratory in Ermoupoli should the need arise .
Thank you so much Anna .
