As noted by other reviewers the house was absolutely amazing! We were a group of friends (from wayyyy back) that converged on Syros for a combination of holiday, pilgrimage (some of us looking for family roots) and dance festival (that’s me). The location is perfect for every manner of adventure and exploration around the island, but there is also excellent swimming right there at the beach at the bottom of the steps. But then again we couldn’t get enough of just hanging out in this fabulous house full of beautiful artwork and balconies with spectacular views. Emmanouil went out of his way to be helpful. He made arrangements for a birthday celebration one of the evenings and was always ready with good suggestions for restaurants and trips. It was like staying at a friend’s house.
