Anemomylos-Windmill

We absolutely loved the Windmill. The accommodation and grounds have been thoughtfully and stylishly converted into an amazing holiday home. Mary was fantastic too; she met us from the ferry and returned us to the port at the end of our stay. She explained everything, provided bus timetables, restaurant recommendations and a brief history of the island. The tasty breakfast provisions were sufficient for lunch too. The hill town of Ano Syros is lovely and friendly. The steps to and from Ermoupoli are a good challenge and there are walks in the hills around the windmill if you are adventurous. There is also a free bus which departs a few metres down the road from the windmill. I genuinely hope that we can return one day.

Staying at the windmill in Syros was an incredible experience and I would recommend it to everyone !! We stayed to celebrate my boyfriends bday and we had the most amazing time - the views , the windmill itself, the food was all stunning ! And even more than that, Mary was such a brilliant and welcoming host , she went above and beyond and helped me organize a few special moments for my boyfriends bday and it was all just the best ( I could not be more grateful)! I have such fond memories of the stay, and it will stay with us forever . Highly highly highly recommend A few extra points: the bed was very very comfortable , there Was lots of extra blankets , there was a heated blanket which I loved, the breakfast was fantastic with lots and lots of options; the kitchen had everything you needed It was a very romantic get away, and i recommend for anyone celebrating a special moment or someone who wants a bit of beauty, and solitude !

Nothing I didn’t like

This was one of the most unique and exceptional places we have ever stayed. The views are incredible and there are restaurants within close walking distance with stunning vistas of the whole Harbour. You can easily walk down to the town. Mary, the hostess, is very kind and helpful with a lifetime of experience on the island. She is passionate about the windmill history in her family and can tell you all the amazing places to visit on the island. She provided delicious local foods as well in plentiful quantities. We had more than enough for breakfast and were even able to pack a lunch to go to the other side of the island. Her hospitality was above and beyond!! She picked us up from the port, so do not be discouraged with the distance. There are free buses up the hill as well or taxi service. Do not stay down by the port. These views are not to be missed!! You cannot find a better place to stay on the island I am certain! If we ever return, we will certainly stay at the windmill!!

Nothing!! Everything was perfect!!

Amazing location at the top of the hill with views across the sea to at least half a dozen Cyclades islands on a clear day, in the town of Ano Syros. The host Maria is so kind and geneous and helpful, and supplied so much food for our breakfasts, including self-made fresh jams and honey. Within short walking distance of local taverns and restaurants in Ano Syros town.

Ano Syros is a medieval fortress town on top of a steep hill above the capital city of Ermoupoli. The walk up is really hard but there is an easy solution - get a taxi from central Ermoupoli for only 7 euros.

A wonderful, unique place to say to watch the sunrise from the window - close to lovely Ano Syros and the bustle of Ermoupoli. Mary was an amazing hostess - meeting us from the ferry and giving us lots of information about the area. There were lots of local goodies and thoughtful touches with plenty of fresh food for breakfast. Highly recommended.

I loved my unique stay in the windmill and the host (Mary) was simply outstanding. The windmill is very well stocked and the host provided a great selection of local treats (sweets, cheese, meat, syros wine, etc.), maps, suggestions and absolutely anything needed. The host even met me at the port when my ferry arrived at 4:50am. The windmill is super clean with stylish decor. The family did an excellent job restoring the windmill - top quality all the way. Comfortable bed and usable kitchen. Highly recommended.

The unique windmill locates in a mountain top where you can see the sea, whole city and amazing sunrise. The mill inside is not as big as we expected, but it’s clean and cozy, definitely makes our stay in Syros a lot of joy. The yard is quite big. I do suggest to seat there after sunset. You will enjoy soft breeze, starring sky, and a peaceful city overview. It is just above the Ano Syros - the old town, so you feel very much like living with locals. Mary is a very nice person who provided us great food and many suggestions of visiting the island. Her homemade fig jam is super with the local cheese!

The windmill is sometimes taken as a public site by visitors, they take photos and even come inside once, even with the sign of “private property” in each gate. Mary is trying to solve this with a bigger gate and sign. But this is not a big issue for us. We are not annoyed. :)

I can just repeat what others mentioned before. Its a beautiful stay. We picked it as our last stay on greek islands during our honeymoon and it was a top spot. Mary is an excellent host, also she picked us up and drove us back to the port on the last day. Breakfast was just phenomenal. Its a really nice experience.

It was quite windy which is very noticable inside during night but hey its a windmill.

we cannot stress how amazing both this accommodation and Mary (the owner) are. A 10 does not do it justice. Mary is a fountain of knowledge. she gives great recommendations and you feel like you’ve known her for years! The breakfast provided is so good, the goats cheese on bread with honey is definitely something I’ll be eating back home! The windmill is fantastic, it’s strange staying somewhere that is part of peoples pictures! The attention to detail and comfort of the windmill is something else. It will forever be special to us as it’s the place I proposed to my partner. Thank you again Mary. We’ll be back hopefully for the wedding!
