Life in Syros

Life in Syros!

Although the summer is over there is always a good reason to visit Syros!
Syros is the capital of Cyclades islands. Being close to Piraeus’ port (80n.m.) and its frequent connection with it, make it popular to lovers of travelling.

The capital of Syros is Hermoupolis, “The sovereign of Cyclades”! It is built in an amphitheatrically way. The baronial neoclassic buildings, the well-saved mansions of past century, the imposing churches and the traditional settlements, are the first pictures to fill your sight. In Hermoupolis also reside the Region of Southern Aegean and the Prefecture Cyclades.

You should not omit to visit some of the better-known buildings such as the Town Hall, the Spiritualistic center, the Theatre of Apollo and the Archeological Museum.

You can also visit the neighborhood Vaporia, where you will be charmed by the architecture of the homes that have as their company the saltines of the sea and High Syros, where a stroll in its small alleys is certainly a unique experience!

When you leave from the capital Hermoupolis you will notice that there are plenty of places that you can visit and in every corner of the island there is something new.

From the areas of Azolimnos, Vari, Poseidonia and Dellagratsia with its luxurious houses and its aristocratic appearance, to the fish-town of Finikas and the region of Galissa with complete tourist resorts and a magical view it is becoming clear the specialness of the island.

The beaches offer unique relaxation and amusement moments whether you prefer them quite or crowded.

Summer in Milos

Yes! After some time we are back again.

The summer unfortunately is over and as everybody, we spent our
vacations in a Greek Island. This time the choice was Milos. A
wonderful island, with unbelievable sea sides and beaches. What
you could say for Sarakiniko, Firopotamos and Mandrakia. Just
google the names and you will find a couple of images.

Plaka, the main town of the island, was one of my favourite
destinations.

Somehow when you live outside of Adamantas (Milo's port) you
believe that Milos is an empty island, without inhabitants. You
travel, without actually meeting any village. Only Zefiria, is a
small village in the mainland with some traffic. You keep this
impression till you go to Plaka. Then you see that Milos, indeed
is an island, with its own life and culture. The nights, are
peaceful, and you could find very nice restaurants for your
dinner. I recommend Plaka also for breakfast, since you could
enjoy the view of Kimolos which is just opposite.

Of course, due to my work, I had the chance to view some houses in Milos. The
properties advertised here:

For those, that you already know Milos well, you will note that
all of the properties are located in very nice areas. Especially
the houses at Plaka, I really think are unique offers.
Plaka, offers you the beauty of the main town of a Cycladic Island
and at the same time, a unique view. I think is one of the few
Cycladic towns, besides the Ano Xora of Siros, that you could see so near
the view of another island.

So why do not you think to buy a house in Milos then?


By the way, Milos in average has very good restaurants with quite
good quality of food. I will recommend some of them over the time.
Another thing that I found interesting was the massive presence of
Italians through all Milos. I found them almost everywhere. It was
very nice over the night to hear Italian kids asking for an ice
cream, saying: Mama Gelato.



We will keep in touch, through all year.
