Centrally situated a few blocks from the main square, George and Ioanna's stone house is deceivingly large, well planned and easy to use. The kitchen is well laid out while the main bed looks out towards the stone courtyard where you will invariably end up every morning for breakfast. Quiet, yet only a short 10 minute walk to the port of restaurants, cafes and other bustling activities. But best of all, you have fine, gracious traveling hosts in George and Ioanna and their newest arrival, little Aires. These folks know hospitality from items as simple as serviceable wine glasses to quality hand soap. Always available, never intrusive, they will make you feel at home on the beautiful island of Syros. Two mentions: easiest way to visit and enjoy the non accessible beaches of Syros is to take a bus to Kini and walk to the end of the pier to take a boat trip with Nikos Perla. These beaches are beautiful for swimming, bar-b-ques and the notorious Niko's floating bar of ouzo and wine. So forget that visit to city hall! Best restaurant on the island is in Kini, so after that boat trip with Nikos, stop in to Allou Yialou and try their shrimps in ouzo, meat dishes and everything else. We had an awesome two weeks in Syros, sunny blue skies, friendly people, great swimming, cafes, beaches especially made comfortable staying with George and Ioanna.
