villa komito
A secluded estate on the aegean sea
secluded aegean estate
Villa Komito set on its own 4-hectare peninsula at Syros’ southern tip: a gracious, nine bedroom private estate; it not only offers tranquillity in a spectacular location, but also the unique atmosphere of a welcoming home, that has matured with two generations of family and friends who have known it, lived it, and loved it.
You’ll find many of your fellow guests have returned year after year, enjoying stays in every season, spring through winter. We are never surprised when guests proclaim Villa Komito the most extraordinary place to stay in all of Greece.
HOME FROM HOME
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.
komito days
To the Sea
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? Choose the luxuriously serene infinity pool.
Terraces as expansive as the sea
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.
And for larger groups and wedding parties, the upper covered banquet terrace can seat up to 60 people comfortably
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner is served
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).
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.
around komito
Kick back and relax, if the mood takes you there are stunning walks just steps away and group activities can be arranged on request…the options are endless.
Lounge by the pool
Enjoy a cool dip and spectacular sea views from our infinity pool. The pool-side area has everything you might need, lounge beds, chairs, changing room, showers, a shaded lounging area and small bar for hot or cold drinks. It’s easy to relax, forget time and end the day with the spectacular Aegean sunset.
Private Cove
The hillside stairway leads you to a seaside haven carved directly from volcanic rock. Swim, snorkel, dive, or just lounge under the shaded bamboo roof. And why return to the villa for lunch? Baskets loaded with sumptuous picnic fare can be delivered from on high by rope and pulley down to satisfy guests gathered below.
Wellness & Activities
Villa Komito offers a tranquil Cycladic escape, combining sea views and natural beauty with curated in-villa wellness experiences. Guests can enjoy pedicures and manicures, soothing massages, yoga and Pilates sessions, and hands- on cookery lessons, all arranged for a truly relaxed and personalised stay. Inquire on arrival, so sessions can be booked in advance.
To the Lighthouse
Whether early morning or before an evening aperitif, a walk up to the Lighthouse is invigorating without being too strenuous, rewarding visitors with incomparable views across the Aegean.
On clear days, the horizon opens up to nearby islands including Serifos, Sifnos, Naxos, Paros, Delos, Mykonos, and Tinos. Along the way, depending on the season, you may pass wild herbs in bloom, butterflies, birds of prey, and even the occasional friendly goat.
St Stefanos Chapel
Legend has it that the chapel was built by a fisherman who was saved from the tentacles of a large Octopus after praying to the Saint to help him. Hugging the rocky cliffs above the sea, the tiny white chapel of Agios Stefanos is built into a natural cavern, with the rock itself forming its floor and ceiling.
Accessible by boat or via a rugged 30-minute pilgrim path, it is celebrated as one of the most picturesque cave churches in the world, renowned for its views and dramatic setting. It’s a truly a sacred space, remote and absolutely magical.
Komito Beach
A golden sandy shore facing the islets of Stroggylo and Schinonisi across azure waters, Komito Beach is a secluded haven from autumn through spring, transforming in summer with a beachside bar serving drinks, snacks, and cocktails. Water sport facilities include scuba diving, snorkeling, and jet skiing, while spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed all year, a memorable end to the day.
