Villa Chara is a well laid out, spacious and lovely house for a stay in Syros. Having breakfast outside (if the wind wasn't too crazy) was lovely and in mid April we were at the beach every day. Villa Chara is about a 15-20min walk from the centre of Vari (not huge and in April most things were closed) where there is a lovely big beach which is perfect for kids - our 2 year old loved it. There is smaller beach literally round the corner and a pool and cafe bar next door (again wasn't open mid April) this is a great location and beautiful place to visit.
Port and airport were about 15mins easy drive and the other beaches/villages were a fun drive away.
Alekos responses so quickly to our initial queries and when we arrived we asked if we could check in about 11/12 when the ferry arrived which was no problem. We also checked out later - again Alekos was quick to accommodate. We had milk, cheese, bread, juice and wine to arrive to which was well received!
We'd love to return and thanks Alekos for your help.
One extra bonus would be a little information pack on the house and perhaps recommendations in the area but I'm being really picky here! Fabulous
