The hotel owner arranged a taxi to pick us up (about 15 EURO + tip) from the ferry to drive us to the outskirts of Ano Syros. They then carried our bags to the hotel. The rooms were very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast satisfying (eggs cooked to our request). We had a dip in the pool which was pleasant. Ano Syros is a town of very narrow walking paths more than streets perched on the hillside, so there are steps everywhere. We enjoyed walking around the old town, getting lost in the labyrinth but always finding our way back to the hotel. The owner was helpful in suggesting places to visit, and arranged transport too (which we paid for).

Hospitality excellent Alexis and his staff go the extra mile in making your stay memorable. The beautiful ambience of the surroundings of the town is reflected in the quality of the hotel the attention to detail is first class. You will never forget your stay at wind tales .

Host Alexis and staff Dimitri & Tonia were very warm and welcoming. Alexis was spot on with all his recommendations for places to eat, beaches to go to and bars and attractions to visit. Our room was traditional, spotless and had an amazing view with our own verandah where our breakfast was served every morning. The charm of Ano Syros was unlike any other Greek island town we have experienced before. It was challenging at first getting lost in a medieval town built in a way to confuse sea raiders and pirates but after a couple of days you get to know the twists and turns of the alley ways.

We had a wonderful six night stay at Wind Tales in mid-August. The team made us feel very welcome from our first arrival. The breakfast is fantastic - so fresh and the local and homemade ingredients were delicious. We loved our room (Rock) and the communal areas. The team were very helpful with recommendations and organising things around the island (including car rental, reserving sun beds and restaurants). Anos Syros is a beautiful village and really comes to life at night. Thank you so much Wind Tales team - we had a great time and want to especially shout out Tonia and Dimitri for their excellent hospitality.

Nothing, 10/10, although be prepared for lots of steps in Ano Syros!

Really pretty hotel in charming Ano Syros. Lovely staff with excellent local knowledge, Tonia was very friendly and helpful booking restaurants and taxis. Very quiet and peaceful at night. Breakfast with homegrown produce on the balcony is a real highlight. We hope to come back again!

Amazing location in Ano Syros and situated in a location that makes it very easy to take a taxi anywhere else on the island. The operator, Alexis is a true gem of Greek hospitality which shines through with his staff as well, which even includes a porter to help with luggage…making your arrival and departure even more leisurely. The property is extremely well done…it is architecturally stunning but offers all modern amenities. I’m fortunate to continually travel all over the world and have stayed in some very cool hotels…Wind Tales is now ranked among my favorite!

This personal touch made us feel incredibly welcome and set the tone for a great stay. Exceptional Staff: Dimitris was extremely helpful throughout our stay.

Delicious Breakfast: A special mention goes to their homemade and locally produced breakfast. The fresh and tasty offerings each morning were a delightful start to our days. Overall, the commitment to guest satisfaction and the quality of service at this hotel made our stay memorable. Highly recommended!

The hospitality and dedication of the team and the manager Alexis was something very special and made the stay at this beautifully designed and warm place an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much! I can only recommend a stay at Wind Tales to everyone. This breakfast with a view at the pool and the windswept atmosphere of Ano Syros are magical. I look forward to the opportunity to return. :)

Amazing view, fantastic locally-sourced breakfast and friendly staff. Shoutout to Alexis for his suggestions and local knowledge and Dimitri for his friendly smile when delivering our breakfast every morning!

The breakfast was the best we’ve ever had, but the coffee could have been hotter, that would be our only fault with this amazing place

Start to end and everything between our stay at wind tales was perfect. All the staff and the owner Alex are there to give you advice and help in anyway they can. The room and the views are so special. We went to all the restaurants Alex recommended and each one was excellent. It has set the bar high for the rest of our island hopping trip. On the last day our ferry got cancelled and the ticket office told us there was no other way to get to our next destination but Alex found us an alternative route, without him we would have been stranded. Thank you so much for making the start of our trip something to cherish forever.

Nothing negative to report at all!

Everything was perfect! We arrived to Alexis the owner and Dimitri welcoming us from our taxi. Dimitri took our bags to the hotel while Alexis walked us to the hotel, explaining the area & the pathways. We were greeted with a homemade lemonade on arrival and Alexis took his time to go through the map of Syros and Ano Syros sharing recommendations & directions. We only stayed one night but it was absolutely beautiful, perfect location , unusual yet traditional decor. The pool area was stunning & aesthetically pleasing. The breakfast was all made by Alexis and was served on the balcony by the pool. All locally sourced produce. The view was pretty impressive.

Minor detail but in the last day the check out felt a bit rushed.

It is a beautiful property and the breakfast is amazing. The view from the top to the port makes all the difference. Antonia was a great host helping us with tips and booking us car and activities. Had an amazing relaxing time at Wind Tales.

Such a unique experience! The guesthouse is literally carved into the hillside, decor is homey and inspired. Host Alexis makes hospitality a work of the soul, gave us personal recommendations and helped arrange reservations and taxis. Wonderful service from Dimitri and Tonia. Delicious breakfast—strapatsada 💜. Amazing views. Winding streets of Ano Syros are enchanting. Note that guests with mobility issues might choose another place to stay, but if you up for the climb, you will be richly rewarded!

Nothing about the property itself - just be prepared for steps as it’s in a hilly place but Wind Tales came to meet us on arrival, showed us how to not get lost, and picked up our luggage for us so no complaints at all!

I think the best way to describe this hotel is special - it was unlike anywhere we’ve stayed before. The attention to detail and care given by Alexis and his staff is incredible (special thanks to Tonia who prepared a delicious breakfast every morning with local and homemade produce!) The property itself is beautiful, situated in the medieval hilltop village of Ano Syros, and Alexis gave us many amazing, personalised recommendations upon our arrival. We had such a lovely stay and it was a pleasure to meet everyone there. Would recommend to others in a heartbeat.

There are a lot of steps to get up to Wind Tales, however when we didn’t feel up to the climb we got a taxi which only costs €6. The kind staff also assist you with your bags.

There are only 4 rooms and therefore it allows you to get to chat to other guests and staff. The staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble, they are very knowledgeable about the island and provide you with lots of tips. The breakfast is amazing with lots of different fresh produce sourced locally. A special thank you to Tonia who looked after us when Alexis had to return to Athens for a few days.

There was nothing to not like.

The host is extremely nice person. The property itself provides you awesome views and access to magical tiny whitewashed streets of artistic hidden gem Ano syros. Getting to Syros is 20 minutes walk or just a affordable taxi ride away. All the pubs bars and near by places are quite commendable. The host Alexis and his partners make this place even more magical for you. The way they prepare breakfast for you, guide you how to get around city and even make reservations for you on your behalf is amazing. Its like someone genuinely taking care of guest in their house. It did not feel transactional even for a minute. It was so relaxing for mind and soul that I would definitely recommend this stay to anyone. As a matter of fact if I go to Syros again I am going to Wind tales.
