風之傳説酒店

We enjoyed this place. It is beautiful. It felt like living in a fairy tale. + Amazing views, great breakfast

Stayed 3 nights. Wow…. what can you say about this very unique hotels experience; location, exceptional views and our room (Monastery) with very large balcony. The owner, Alexis and his small team were very helpful and on hand to provide local information. Located in Ano Syros you have to be part mountain goat, with a very steep hill and many hundreds of step down to Ermoupoli town, (takes circa 40 minutes to walk) and harbour with shops and Restaurants. It’s a test of balance and fitness so a taxi is worth considering. Note; it’s a five to ten minute walk with steps etc from the taxi drop off to the hotel. Ano Syros has a small winding streets with a selection of bars and restaurants. Adding to its unique character, there are lots of uneven steps around the hotel so it’s not for the faint hearted but worth it. Very small plunge pool, two sun loungers, four rooms. Breakfast is cooked to order, fresh, using local produce and is excellent. Would we stay again…. Yes but the hotel location and steps are a serious factor to consider.

We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights spent at Wind Tales earlier this month. This is a unique and intimate guest house in a stunning location. As others have mentioned, the owner Alexis is extremely attentive and was there to meet us at the ferry port (very helpful as the house is almost impossible to find in the car-free maze of Ano Syros). Alexis gave us useful advice about the town of Ermopouli and the rest of the island and was happy to make arrangements for car rental etc. Breakfast was outstanding and included home-made jams, marmalade and other treats from the farm of Alexis' family in the north of Syros. We also enjoyed little treats such as limoncello and wine that were left in our fridge. Syros was our first taste of the Greek Islands and our experience of Wind Tales and Ano Syros helped make it an unforgettable experience.
