Yannis provides excellent photos in his description of the house and whilst they are accurate, they don’t do it justice.
You really have to go and stay to experience the REAL Greece.
It’s like stepping back in time: the decor, location - be prepared for twisty turney small narrow streets - keep this in mind when you first come and leave with luggage.
But you won’t get lost: Yannis gives you exceedingly detailed instructions as to how to reach his place - and they’re really accurate.
Alas I didn’t get to see him or his wife, but communication was great and so much advice on where to go and what to see on this diverse island - great insider tips.
To sum up: expect a traditional experience. And I hope you like cats because in general, Syros has a lot! A couple of really sweet friendly ones that don’t come in but hang outside the home.
