It's difficult to overstate how much of a contribution Rea's apartment made to our enjoyment of our holiday on Syros. Yes, the island has wonderful architecture, brilliant boutiques and high-quality, local cuisine, but if we had stayed somewhere else I do not think that we would have thought of our stay there so highly. Having your own sun terrace and private access to the sea means you rarely want to venture too far from the house, or even need to.
