Eco - friendly villas
Syros is considered one of the most picturesque Cyclades capitals and it stands out for its Venetian architecture. Your destination is a cluster of renovated stone houses offering a magnificent sea view, with their terraces being the perfect settings for alfresco dining. Located at the southwest of Syros, only 7 minutes away from sandy beaches, the stone villas are surrounded by flourishing vineyards, figs and olive groves. Each stone villa has been renovated with care using local construction materials. They are the perfect getaway to provide tranquility and relaxation combining traditional accommodation with modern amenities. With sustainability at the forefront, the property generates enough power to cover all the electricity demands of the villas through the use of solar panels. The yoga classes will be performed in the vineyard at a covered outdoor yoga shala facing the ocean. See more images
