A coastline of its own
Running for some 2km along the west coast of Syros, the extensive grounds of Thani are wondrous, magical and awe-inspiring. Well-defined paths connect the impressively grand villa and its generous terraces to a stunningly panoramic peninsula and a pair of idyllic bays, and every detail has been thought of to create a rarefied, privileged atmosphere in which guests can relax, unwind and share the magic. All without ever having to lift a finger.

Thani occupies just over 60 acres of Syros's west coast, just south of the little village of Kini, which has a couple of mini-markets, a few tavernas, an aquarium and a sandy beach.
While you may never wish to leave the luxurious confines of your own seafront estate, it is good to know that there is plenty to do and see nearby.
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 idyllic beaches to explore, not to mention the neighbouring islands of Tinos, Delos and Mykonos. The staff at Thani would be delighted to arrange a private skippered charter for you should you wish to voyage in style.
