A beautiful sea-view villa within walking distance of some of the top beaches of Syros

Set on the south coast of Syros, Villa Aktaia offers breathtaking views. A footpath leads guests right to the shore, plus there are two beaches within walking distance, making this the perfect villa for those seeking a luxury beach escape.

Built into the hillside, the property is spread across 2.5 acres and set on two levels. Terraced gardens surround the villa in greenery, whilst the hints of lavender, rosemary and thyme mingle with the salty sea air.

The lower level features a 100 square-metre infinity pool looking out to the rocky islets that dot the brilliant blue sea. A spacious terrace surrounds the pool, offering sun loungers to recline and soak up the rays. At one end of the terrace is a shaded outdoor lounge area with a bar, perfect for enjoying poolside cocktails.

The upper level features more plush seating where guests can sit back with a holiday read or relish a spectacular sunset. There is also a shaded barbecue area where guests can enjoy relaxed al fresco dining.

Indoors, high ceilings, large windows and bright white walls create a spacious and modern feel. A large lounge and dining area connects to the open-plan kitchen, which is fully equipped for preparing tasty meals.

Six spacious bedrooms are spread across two floors, sleeping up to 12 guests. The master bedroom is on the upper level, offering direct access to the outdoor lounge area. The remaining five bedrooms are on the lower level, overlooking either the pool terrace or the rear gardens. For those seeking a little independence or those travelling with staff, one bedroom has a private entrance and adjoins a handy kitchenette.

With its excellent location, modern facilities, and spectacular views, Villa Aktaia in Syros offers the perfect setting for the luxury holiday of a lifetime.

NB: For larger groups, the villa can be rented with neighbouring Villa Alia for up to 20 guests in total.

About the area

Villa Aktaia is on the south coast of the island of Syros, overlooking the Aegean Sea and the islets of Schinoniso and Stroggyli. The sparkling waters are just a minute away via a footpath, whilst two of the island’s top beaches – Komito and Agathopes are also within walking distance.

The nearest villages are Poseidonia and Finikas, both around five minutes’ drive from the property, allowing convenient access to bars, eateries, and stores.

Island capital, Ermoupoli, is well worth a visit for its vibrant culture, stunning architecture, and major port offering easy access to surrounding islands.
