Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to stay at Syros for 11 days, definitely not a punishment if those days can be spent at the Villa Maria with Elisa and Kostas.
The over a century old and painstakingly restored Villa is located in a quiet area close to the main square from where the harbour, the beach, shops and public transport are accessible easily. Its rooms are very clean, really comfortable and beautifully decorated with hand picked antique furniture.
Elisa and Kostas are absolutely wonderful hosts. One enjoys a lot of privacy, checkin/ checkout are flexible and smooth, the communication is easy and fast and Kostas' recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants are absolutely spot on. On top of all that Elisa must be one of Greece's best chefs so - if possible - try to secure a home cooked dinner from local produce, a breakfast basket filled with homemade delicacies or even a place in her cooking class.
Syros is a great place to stay from early spring to at least the end of october and when you are there we strongly recommend you book at the Villa Maria.
