Of the 6 weeks we spent traveling about islands in the Cyclades and Dodecanese, Syros remains one of our favorites. Its marble paved streets, the architectural wealth of its 19thc past invite strolling. And Lydia-Chara's apartment offers a wonderful base. The master bedroom, washroom, kitchen, living area, and outdoor terrace are each spacious. The latter is, as others have commented, an inviting space for coffee or meals or just reading a book. The kitchen is superbly equipped. Lydia-Chara is a most welcoming host. She is knowledgeable and insightful about the town and her island. We spent 5 days here and wished it could have been longer. Indeed we didn't get beyond Syros town and Ano Syros to other parts of the island. We highly recommend this apartment and would readily stay there again.
