Property Description

This historic property is a rare gem which we are delighted to welcome on to the real estate market.
Located in Ano Syros, its entrance is widely thought to date back to the late 12th, early 13th century, constructed as a fortress to protect inhabitants of the village against pirate attack.
Perched on top of Ano Syros, directly underneath the Monastery of Saint George, its elevated position affords stunning sea views of neighboring islands. On clear days you can see far across the Aegean to Ikaria and Samos.
Traditional Cycladic houses were typically built one on top of the other but this property is unique, inviting and secluded, assuring privacy for its residents. Adjoining the Old Monastery of the Jesuits, the multi-level terraces invite you to sit a while and relax, to be inspired by the feeling of harmony that will embrace you, as you slowly unwind.
The interiors of this beautiful home exude traditional character, warmth and charm. The stone walls and stone arch in the living room take you back to a time gone by whilst at the same time all of today’s modern comforts slip discreetly into place.
A surprisingly spacious property with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms this is somewhere that is large enough for families and cosy enough to enjoy alone. Perhaps with just a good book and the beauty of the surroundings for company.
The village of Ano Syros is one of the best preserved traditional villages in the Aegean today. It has an enchanting appeal with its maze of whitewashed narrow streets which are a joy to wander through and catch glimpses of people going about their day. Delight at the wonderful aromas that fill the air as the locals prepare their daily meal, often before the sun has even risen in the sky.
There are small tavernas, ouzeria , cafes and shops aplenty. Effortless dining with traditional home cooked food. Food simply prepared from age-old recipes.
Living here is to go back to a time when life was more simple. Less complicated than the lives many of us lead today.
This home will bring a sense of appreciation for a natural, slower pace of life.

Area Description

The jewel in Syros’ crown is undoubtedly it’s capital, Ermoupoli. The city was founded during the Greek Wars of Independence in the 1820s and soon became the commercial and industrial centre of Greece, playing a more important role than Piraeus – after all, ‘Ermopouli’ means ‘City of Hermes’, and Hermes was the god of commerce!
Visitors today can wander the streets admiring the imposing neoclassical architecture and enjoying the town’s aristocratic atmosphere, elegant cafes and upmarket boutiques. Due to the city’s importance (it is home to the region’s courts and public offices), Ermoupoli is a thriving town even in the winter months, making it unique in the Aegean as an excellent option for year-round living.
Gastronomy on Syros is a strong rival to any found on Mykonos or Santorini – as an island with a year-round population the restaurants rely on local customers rather than tourists, so have to serve top-quality food. The island was historically populated with refuges from Asia Minor, a group renowned for their culinary skills and which still filters through today. Local specialities include the tooth-achingly sweet loukoumi, with its rainbow of flavours and fillings.
Outside of the capital, Syros is dotted with the usual Cycladic villages and beaches – picture- perfect Kini is one of the best in the Aegean, with it’s un-spoilt beach and laid-back atmosphere. Meanwhile, Finikias is the island’s yachting centre, with a contemporary marina perfect for mooring or chartering sailboats.
