The property is located at Sklipi, in the outskirts of Ermoupolis, 2km from the port. We recommend that you have a car or scooter to commute. There are no bus stations in the area. Walking from and to the town port is possible (35 minutes) but not recommended during the summer.

You can find our exact location at the ‘Contact Us” tab or in Google Maps under the name ‘Avrofilito Syros Houses’. We are also happy to welcome our guests at the port or the airport and escort them to the property upon their request.
House rules
What are the check-in and check-out hours?
The check-in can begin by 2pm, as we always need to clean the space before your arrival and make sure everything is in order. As for the check-out, it needs to be realised until 12pm (noon). Our goal is to provide the house in perfect condition and on-time to our next guests, so the interval time between 12pm and 2pm is more than necessary for us to go through all the required procedures. We can always arrange late check-out upon your request.
Is smoking allowed?
The interior of the houses are strictly NON-SMOKING areas. Please use the exterior areas for smoking (yards, balconies or terraces).
Are pets allowed?
Pets are not allowed (although we love them).
Can I invite other people to the property?
People other than the tenants may not stay overnight in the houses.
