Town house in Ermoupoli (Syros)

Located in the suburb of Doxa, on the outskirts of Ermoupoli, this 83 sqm house was originally built in 1972 and underwent a complete renovation in 2024.

It offers a total of 83 sqm of living space, arranged on one level, and 21 sqm of storage space in the basement. The house features an open-plan living/dining room and kitchen, bright and inviting. The living room opens onto a balcony with open views of the Aegean Sea. Two spacious bedrooms and one bathroom complete the living spaces.

The 2024 renovation went through the whole house, adding new PVC double-glazed windows with roller shutters, air conditioning for both heating and cooling, and a solar water heater. The property is on the municipal water network, has its own parking, and is fully legalised. It is sold unfurnished, and the kitchen is not yet fitted, which gives a buyer a clean, freshly finished base to set up exactly as they like.

For a family, the appeal is the combination of a finished, low-maintenance house and a town that works in every season. Everything is on one level, the sea is in view from the balcony, and shops, tavernas, and the port are within walking distance rather than a drive.

Rental potential
Ermoupolis holds steady rental appeal because it works as a year-round town rather than a summer-only resort. As the capital of Syros and the administrative centre of the Cyclades, it draws visitors for its neoclassical architecture, Miaouli Square, the Apollon Theatre, and a genuine café and food culture, alongside the beaches a short drive away. That mix, plus reliable ferry links to Piraeus and its own domestic airport, tends to extend interest beyond the peak summer weeks into the spring and autumn shoulder seasons. A well-presented, walkable town property with a sea view suits short-stay guests who want a base with services on the doorstep, and it can be let when the owners are not using it, with local management available if wanted.

Location – distances
Syros sits at the heart of the Cyclades, and its capital Ermoupolis is unlike anywhere else in the islands: a grand, lived-in town of marble squares, neoclassical mansions, and pastel façades that climb the hills above a working harbour. Built during the island’s 19th-century shipping boom, it remains the administrative centre of the Cyclades, with a real year-round population, full everyday services, and a café and food culture that keeps going long after the summer crowds leave. Beyond the town, the island offers quiet beaches, traditional villages, and its own specialities such as loukoumi and San Michali cheese, all within easy reach by car and close to Athens by ferry or the island’s small airport.
