Our week at Fidelya exceeded expectations by every measure. The housekeeper's welcome at the villa really set the tone and she kept the place immaculate. The villa has soul and was exceptional. We made full use of the excellent local beach and restaurant recommendations. Thank you.

Inside
accommodation at Fidelya is laid out over a main house and two garden guesthouses.The front door of the main house opens into a welcoming hallway. A few steps down and one is in the warm embrace of a most convivial open-plan communal area, featuring peach-coloured walls and ceilings (echoing the exteriors), terracotta-tiled floors, plenty of light-giving windows, and glass doors opening out onto the surrounding terraces. This colourful, cosy and bright aesthetic is continued throughout the property.
On the left is a double-level living area, with a TV and sofa above a sunken snug with built-in cushioned seating flanking a soft-lined fireplace.
On the right, meanwhile, is a dining table with comfy chairs and a sleek, well-equipped kitchen with a long island.
Back in the entrance hall, a door opens into the main house's bedroom, a spacious double with en-suite shower room and a glass door accessing the main terraces.
The first guesthouse, which is just a few metres across the terraces from the main house, hosts two bedrooms:
- a double with a sunken sitting area, sea views and terrace access
- a twin, also with sea views and terrace access
- the two bedrooms share a shower room
Outside
all of the accommodation at Fidelya, both in the main house and the guesthouses, spills out onto an array of panoramic sea-view terraces.The open-plan communal area accesses a wide expanse of well-shaded terrace that extends around two sides of the house. To the front is a sitting area, furnished with a sofa and a pair of easy chairs, while round to one side is the al fresco dining area (accessed directly from the kitchen and the main house's bedroom).
The front section of the terrace develops out to a second sitting area with a large, stylish L-shaped sofa, some lounge chairs and a firepit.
Steps lead down to the splendid infinity pool, which, along with its terrace, has been moulded into a curvaceous form.
Between the main house and the two guesthouses (both of which have their own terraces) is a shady area of garden equipped with tables and chairs, while to the right and the left of the property are a pair of fragrant pine tree copses that provide cool spots in which to hang out in a hammock and a secluding cocoon around the property.

About the Area
Fidelya sits on the southwest coast of Syros just a 10-minute walk from the little marina, sandy beach and village of Finikas, which has a good selection of cafés, bars, tavernas and a couple of minimarkets. Also within walking distance - about 10 minutes - is the beach of Kokkina. Please note that the route back from the beach is quite steep so maybe not ideal for those with reduced mobility.
Beautiful Cycladic Syros was once an important commercial hub, a stepping stone between Asia Minor and the western Mediterranean. Its capital, the busy port of Hermoupolis, was founded in the 1820s during the Greek War of Independence and named after Hermes, the Greek god of commerce.
Hermoupolis prospered as its stature as a vibrant entrepot for trade and shipping grew. Merchants and entrepreneurs transformed the town into a highly desirable place to live and do business. Well-off traders and the upper classes built graceful homes and impressive neo-classical civic buildings, many of which survive today, such as the town hall on the main square and the Apollo Municipal Theatre, a mini replica of La Scala di Milano. Crowding around the harbour, houses rise up two hills, each one topped with an impressive church - one catholic, Agios Giorgios, and one Greek Orthodox, the Resurrection of Christ. It's a very pleasant, historic town with an important industrial heritage, plenty of things to see and do, and a good selection of cafés, bars, restaurants and shops.
Today, Syros is considered the capital of the Cyclades and it's a popular destination for families and those looking for a laid-back vibe without mass tourism. There are numerous lovely beaches scattered around the coast, particularly in the south close to Fidelya. Apart from Megas Gialos and Varis (mentioned at the beginning), these include Komito, Posidonia and Agathopes in the southwest, Galissa on the west coast, and Azolimnos and Fokiotripes in the southeast. All are within a 15-minute drive.
Considerations
Fidelya features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop off the infinity side so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.
Please note that there is no real shallow end in the pool, whose minimum depth is over 1.3m.
This property is surrounded by countryside, some of which is unfenced and may include drops or steep slopes. We therefore recommend that younger children are supervised by an adult when exploring the grounds.
Please note that due to the risk of wildfires, the use of fire pits and barbecues is restricted when the weather is windy or temperatures are high. This is particularly common in July and August. More information will be provided in your House Guide and via your local specialist.

Fidelya was heaven, we loved it and have wonderful memories. We enjoyed being spoilt by the lovely cleaner who came in every day.
Bettina Berry, visited June 2025
Fidelya is a superb villa with wonderful staff, and very relaxing. It was perfectly located, with very high end furnishing and appliances plus superb selection of household items for our family to use. Would we return? Yes it was a perfect holiday.

We would return to Fidelya. It's a beautiful house with a wonderful view in a great location. Excellent facilities, wonderful pool, walk into the village. It was the best holiday experience we have ever had. We look forward to another Thinking Traveller adventure in future.
