Wind Tales is located in Ano Syros, the medieval old town of Syros Island, the capital of the Cyclades complex of islands. Ano Syros is the 'catholic' hill and is full of small alleys. From the entrance of the town you need a 3 minute walk to the guesthouse. It is a totally silent neighbourhood you will honestly just hear the birds and every small noise from very far. Near Wind Tales, 1 min of walking you will have a small traditional cafe. 5 min walking distance there is the piazza, where all the shops, tavernas and light night life are. Explore and get lost in our small alleys, we strongly recommend this memorable feeling.
