Vacation rentals in Ermoupoli

Graciela was a great host. She cleaned the pool every morning, which was perfect for our kids, and gave us lots of tips for things to do on Syros. The house had everything we needed and we fehlt very comfortable. We'd love to come back!

We had a fantastic five days at Aqua Blu. We were lucky that we had the entire place (4 cottages/apartments plus pool) to ourselves. It’s well equipped, very quiet, great if small pool and literally 5 mins for the best beach (and beach bar) on the island. There is also a cheap good quality Taverna onsite, and boats for hire at the end of the drive. We reckon it’s the best location on the island!

We were attracted by the old charm of this beautiful house and it's mature gardens when we found the listing but nothing had prepared us for the deeply moving experience of inhabiting this work of art. It was a feast for the senses and we hardly wanted to leave the property to explore the island durring our 10 day stay. It is an artists' house best enjoyed by other artists and all those who cannot live without beauty and can see past the odd inconvenience of a preloved space.

Simply breathtaking. Meraki is a Greek word that describes what happens when you leave a piece of yourself – your soul, creativity or love – in the work you do. The Collector’s Home is truly the epitome of this, filled with curiosities and treasures, hand-picked by host Dimitris whose passion for island life is infectious and who really does put his heart and soul into what he does. Dimitris was an exceptional host, and by the end of our trip we felt more like old friends. Finikas itself is a very charming little town, beautifully appointed on a sheltered beach looking west. There are several shops, bars and restaurants within a few minutes’ walk; we ate at Calmo Mare several times, drank cocktails at Remezzo, found all the basics at the mini-market and fresh bread and gelato at the bakery a little further along. The spotless, sandy beach is 50m from the apartment and has plenty of shady spots if you don’t want to be in the sun all day. Take a snorkel: the waters are teeming with colourful little fish, shimmering just under the surface. The whole island is served by buses, departing 100m from the apartment every hour or so in each direction; taxis are also widely available. If you want to see more of the island, it would be sensible to hire a car. But once you’ve seen the view from the balcony, you probably won’t bother!

The house is located in a beautiful peaceful spot with the most amazing views. We spent countless hours on the terrace, surrounded by bougainvilleas and the views of the Aegean Sea. We swam in the secluded cove which is walking distance from the house. Giorgos is a very responsive host and answered any queries we had during our stay. The design of the house, being split into the main house and two annexes, suited our needs as we traveled with our adult children. Hermoupolis, the capital of the island, is 25 minutes away by car. It has not been spoiled by tourism and retains an old fashioned grandeur with its neoclassical architecture. We will definitely visit again.

Incredible experience at the Syros Old House.

The place is beautiful! The photos don't honor the reality of the view and the interior layout. Dimitris was very welcoming and always good advice, and Litha was very responsive in terms of communication. We recommend without hesitation!

We have stayed at Takis's house twice now and can only recommend it highly. It is a very comfortable, clean and well kept house with lots of space inside and out.The location is fantastic with breathtaking views - our favourite spot on the island! Takis is very friendly and helpful, went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. Hopefully we will be back. Thank you again Takis
