Syros, Cyclades islands, Greece

The tastefully restored Andromeda mansion in Ermoupolis, historic capital of Syros island, is all about old world elegance where Greek neoclassical and Art Deco accents grace this imposing property.

An airy, sunlit, verdant interior with high ceilings, herringbone wood flooring and arched glass doorways are some of the decorative elements evoking a feeling of grandeur and spaciousness in approximately 770 sqm of living space.

Upon entering the mansion, a dramatic white marble staircase showcasing Doric columns one level up catches your eyes. Gorgeous art deco colour schemes of emerald green, bold blue, amber and powdery pink make their presence in the living spaces. 10 airy and spacious bedrooms with five meter high ceilings boast beautifully restored ceiling decorations and impressive wall art. Marble accents decorate the ensuite bathrooms. Outdoor plunge pools and private verandas with expansive sea views of the nearby islands of Mykonos and Tinos extend off some of the rooms.

Andromeda's rooftop pool and terrace make for the perfect oasis any time of day.

If you're an early bird this is your spot for a tranquil sunrise breakfast as you watch the day unfold. At sunset enjoy a refreshing sea breeze while watching the Aegean skyline show off its changing blue, purple and orange tones.

Andromeda is located in the aristocratic neighborhood of Vaporia, meaning ships, once home to the island's shipowners and industrialists. Within walking distance are the charming historic port, home to Greece's first opera house, and a short drive to sandy beaches, picturesque villages and delicious Mediterranean seaside dining.
