About the host
Hosted by Irine Altouvas
I used to live on the beautiful island of Syros for a long time, working as a teacher. This is where I raised my son and spent some of the most beautiful years of my life. Now I live in Zurich and our home is available for hosting. I sometimes, though, come back because I believe this is the perfect place to relax and share wonderful moments with family and friends! You are very welcome to stay and enjoy!
Why they chose this property
Ano Syros was built by the Venetians around 1200. It is an amphitheatrical historical city, built on the hill and for years it has functioned as a natural fortress for the locals. It is situated northwest of Ermoupolis and it still maintains all its medieval charm. Countless steps that pass by the white houses and arches at the edge of the hill lead you to the top of the village where the catholic Cathedral of Saint George is situated.
What makes this property unique
The distance from the center of Ermoupolis and the closest beach in Vaporia , is just 3kms . It is a nice, quick walk on foot connecting old and new town, or you take the mini bus from Ano Syros (Kamara entrance) and be there in about 10 min. Furthermore, in case you have rented a car/motorbike you can park it at the parking area of Portara entrance which is just 200 meters away from the house, or you can call a taxi. Taxis are normally available in 5 min. To visit most parts of the island including most of its wonderful beaches you can use the local bus service which is cheap and reliable. Hiring a car or motorbike is recommended for independent travel and exploring less crowded, charming spots of the island.
