Wow, "majestic view" says it all! We had a really wonderful vacation at Maria's house in the little village of Kini. It has the perfect (we felt best) location you could possibly have. It is literally a 3 minute walk round to the beachfront which is lined with accommodations, tavernas and their adjacent beach loungers and palapas but distanced enough from the activity to give you a tranquil vacation hideaway. The island's main town, Ermoupolis, is just 20 min away by bus - beware of the ever-changing schedule in Seot - for great shopping and sightseeing.
Maria's house has all the necessary attributes for a very comfortable stay. Everything is as the photos suggest; the front porch really offers that stunning view of the whole bay. Unfortunately we did not get to meet Maria herself but her manager picked us up at the port when we arrived and was extremely kind, prompt and efficient when we ran into problems with water and electricity. It was really nice to have the start-up supplies (such as drinking water, toasts & bread, jam, eggs, juice, coffee, etc) left for us. We give Maria's two thumbs up and would love to come back to stay with her should we every return to Syros (from Canada).
