Myself and my two children had a lovely 4 nights stay at Katerina's place. This groundfloor apartment is spacious, with 2 double bedrooms, large bathroom and large open plan kitchen/dining/living room - this room was particularly useful when it was too hot to sit outside on the large verandah. Literally across the road is the beach, so possible to go for a swim and come back to the verandah! We also walked the 5 to 10mins around the headland to Ambelos beach, which was secluded and had deeper water flanked by 2 beautiful headlands. The store nearby has basic provisions (water etc), so recommend stocking up on supplies from a supermarket in Ermoupolis (Katerina herself leaves the kitchen stocked with all essentials). In Summer, the bus to Ermoupolis leaves from a stop 50yds to the right from the apartment. There is a bus every half an hour, and takes only 30 minutes to Ermoupolis and costs less than 2 euro - it's also possible to take these buses to other beaches too, however, we decided to stay nearby and make the most of Ambela and Megas Gialos beaches. Thoroughly recommend Katerina's place for a great beach holiday on Syros!
