Let the Grecian winds carry you to
“THERE IS AN ISLAND called Syrie” says Eumaeus to Odysseus,
“you perhaps have heard of it…”
So writes the poet Homer of Syros, the central and most sophisticated island of the renown Cyclades. Set on its own 4-hectare peninsula at Syros’ southern tip is Komito: a gracious, 9+ bedroom private villa estate; indeed it is pretty enough to be the poet’s Elysian Fields.
To the Seab
Descend the stone stairway from the main villa to this spectacular cove that is yours, and yours alone. Swim, snorkel, sun, read, relax, reflect on the day, or simply try to count the shades of azure that glisten before you (impossible).
Looking for calmer waters? The aptly named infinity pool should fit the bill.
See You Therei
The central villa is the gathering place for meals and meetups, lounging and socializing, comings and goings, making plans, and the occasional work Zoom.
Most of the entertaining and dining is in and around this welcoming abode: breakfast in the conservatory dining room; lunch may be outdoors under the shady pergola overlooking the sea; dinner may be in either, or with pre-dinner aperitifs on the surrounding bougainvillea-covered terraces.
The spacious sitting room (with open fire for winter holidays) is perfect for the pre-meal aperitivo, relaxed presentations, or socializing with other guests. The office alcove is also available when work just won’t wait.
Terraces as expansive as the sea itselfw
Two expansive terraces embracing the villa invite sunning, dining, writing, yoga-ing, snoozing or enjoying a cocktail before dinner, all while overlooking the infinite blues of the eternal Aegean.
You may also enjoy the Komito staff’s expertly catered meals on the villa terrace, under the shady pergola, and most famously, down on the cove—after ingredients are delivered from the villa by rope and pulley.
And for larger groups and wedding parties, the upper covered banquet terrace can seat up to 60 people comfortably.
Breakfast is served. And lunch. And dinner…j
The airy, long conservatory dining area can accommodate from two to twenty. Its soaring arched windows overlooking the Aegean are graced by 4-metre fig trees and a tournament-ready backgammon table for before- or after-meal competitions (never too fierce).
