Friendly host Nikos picked us up from the harbour and gave a lot of information about what to see and do in Syros. We had two great days at the spacious appartment. It was bigger than expected, so was the terrassen.
We enjoyed the great view from the terras and from the pool over the Aegean Sea. It was nice to take a swim in the pool or the sea at walkable distance.
We managed to do without a car. In august ( highseason) it is impossible to rent a car on the islands, if not booked in advance. But the good thing is, there are regular buses (here every hour). More sustainable and cheaper, than renting a car and fun too!
Relaxing with a stunning view: Yes! There's one but, the dog. Although it is chained and only barks if you pass by, if you are afraid of dogs, it is not relaxing.
