Villa Maria is a listed 19th-century neo-classical mansion. Built by a local factory owner in 1873 at the height of Ermoupolis’ prosperity, it is a fine example of the architecture of the period. In restoring it, all the original features such as wooden floors and ceilings, marble bathrooms, decorative moldings as well as used antique furniture have been preserved to give it a comfortable but authentic feel.
The villa has two apartments and four studios that can be rented separately or in any combination. The second-floor balconies and the roof terrace have panoramic views over the town, the port and across to the neighboring islands. Behind the villa is a courtyard with plants, built-in seating and a shaded dining area.
The villa is on a pedestrian street right in the middle of town, yet a haven of peace and quiet. It is two minutes' walk from the main square and market, and five minutes' walk from the Vaporia. This is the town’s ‘Little Venice’, a lido with cafes and crystal-clear water for swimming.

Lage
Syros is a 3.5-hour ferry ride or a half-hour plane ride from Athens. It is the capital of the Cyclades and is well-connected to the other islands in the archipelago. It is a small island which falls into three distinct parts: the main town of Ermoupolis, one of the most beautiful in Greece, the wild north of the island, a paradise for walkers, and the more domesticated south with its villages, tavernas, and beaches.
Historically, it has never had to court tourism, unlike its better-known neighbors, as its particular history meant that its wealth was derived from trade and shipping. The result is a beautiful, friendly, unspoiled island with fantastic beaches, excellent walking and fascinating history, which tourism has yet to discover.
Ermoupolis
The capital is undoubtedly one of the island’s main attractions. It was built in the 19th century by the merchants who settled here and got rich in Syros’ heyday as Greece’s biggest port. At its center is the magnificent Plateia Miaoulis, which sets the tone for the city as a whole. From there, streets of neo-classical houses spread along the waterfront and up the stepped streets behind.
The town boasts three large churches, one of which has an icon painted by the young El Greco. Other places of interest are the Archaeological Museum, the Industrial Museum, the Apollo Theatre, and the old shipyards.
In the summer the town has something of a cosmopolitan feel as it hosts several festivals: the Syros International Film Festival (SIFF), the Akropoditi DanceFest, the Hermoupolis Guitar Festival and the Syros Accordion Festival in July, the International Festival of the Aegean (Opera) and the International Classical Music Festival of Cyclades in August, Animasyros - International Animation Festival in September and Syros Jazz Festival in October as well as numerous concerts and art exhibitions.
The rest of the island
A single road leads to the north of the island, known as Ano Meria, or the ‘Upper Part’. It first passes Ano Syros, the original capital of the island, a traditional white-washed Cycladic settlement perched on a hill just above Ermoupolis. Beyond this is wild country - just steep, terraced hillsides, rocky paths, and deserted beaches. And incredible views across to the neighboring islands. It is a walker’s paradise in spring and autumn; and in the summer its pristine beaches, only accessible by boat or by foot, are blissfully quiet.
There are two sites of historical interest in Ano Meria: the prehistoric citadel of Kastri, impressively situated on a rocky outcrop in the north-east of the island, and in the extreme north-west is Grammata, where you can see sailors’ inscriptions from as early as the 2nd century BC. Both of these make good destinations for walks.
The south is where most of the island’s villages are, as well as its most accessible beaches, which are all within 30 minutes of Ermoupolis. The villages of Kini, Galissas and Finikas all have well-protected beaches and a choice of tavernas, while Poseidonia, Chroussa, Parakopi and Piskopio boast several magnificent mansions, built in the 19th century as summer retreats by wealthy Ermoupolis families.
