A Greek retreat with a rooftop pool and terrace has hit the market for €6.5 million (US$6.989 million).
Known as Andromeda, the mansion is located in the neighbourhood of Vaporia in Ermoupolis, the historic capital of Syros island, about a four-hour car and ferry trip from Athens. It offers just over 5,000 square feet and far-reaching views of the Aegean Sea, according to the listing with Greece Sotheby’s International Realty.
The design breaks free from the white-and-royal blue color scheme Greece is known for, instead featuring a pink facade and teal, amber, lemon and pink interiors. There are also herringbone wood floors and arched glass doorways.
“We fell in love with this very special house, one of the last neoclassical mansions to be built in Greece,” co-owner and author Oana Aristide said in an email. “The island itself looks more Venetian than Cycladic, and its century of glory is rooted in cosmopolitan, modern ambition. We therefore kept the generous spaces and original architectural details but combined it with iconic contemporary design elements. The goal was a fresh 21st century take on old-world elegance.”
Indeed, the home “is all about Old World elegance, where Greek neoclassical and Art Deco accents grace this imposing property,” Despina Laou of Greece Sotheby’s International Realty said in the listing.
A marble staircase with Doric columns on the upper level at the center of the mansion, and there are high, decorative ceilings throughout, the listing said. There’s also a wet bar with a dark red wall and a circular bar shelf.
There are 10 en-suite bedrooms, with marble accents in the bathrooms, and “outdoor plunge pools and private verandas with expansive sea views of the nearby islands of Mykonos and Tinos extend off some of the rooms,” the listing said. The home has most recently been used as a hotel.
A highlight of the home is undoubtedly the roof deck, where guests and residents can take in sunrises and sunsets while lounging poolside.
Vaporia, once populated with the island’s shipowners and industrialists, is within walking distance of the charming historic port, home to Greece’s first opera house dating to 1864, according to the listing. Beaches and waterfront dining are a short drive away, as are other island villages.
Mansion Global could not determine when the home last traded, or for how much. The owners did not immediately return a request for comment.

Blending brutalist strength with warm, refined interiors, Rumah is a bold architectural statement in Brighton’s coastal enclave — a designer family home where luxury meets liveability.
Rumah means “home” in Indonesian and Malay, and it’s clear this designer property in Melbourne’s coveted beachside enclave of Brighton is a dream house in any language.
The uber-contemporary residence is a collaboration between builders Belot Property, Seidler Group architects, and the interiors team at Golden.
The result is a modern marvel that combines a brutalist concrete exterior ready to weather its coastal setting with inviting interiors using a mix of textures, from French oak to metal and brick finishes.
Just listed with Kay & Burton Bayside agents, Rae Mano, Matthew Pillios and Jamie Mi, the prestige property is on the market via a private treaty campaign with price expectations of between $10.5 million and $11.5 million.
Created to be a great entertainer while maintaining a level of discreet privacy, Rumah is, at its heart, a warm, family-friendly home that ticks all the boxes for detail-oriented design connoisseurs.
A palette of contradictions, Rumah blends angular and rounded forms, features hard steel and glass, and effortlessly incorporates the earthy finishes of brick and timber for a holistic sensory experience.
Beyond the oversized pivot door sits a large structural column wrapped in gold leaf, setting the tone for the rest of the residence. The three-storey layout offers a choice of multigenerational spaces, from the ground-floor everyday living level to the accommodation wing on the top floor and the large basement “clubhouse.”
At the heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen features a dramatic island bench, high-end appliances, and a full butler’s pantry. Multiple spaces feed off the kitchen, including a vast dining area and a large living room, which both spill out through full-height glazed doors to either a side barbecue terrace or the poolside deck to the rear.
Even the downstairs entertainer’s room – also known as the club – is effectively poolside thanks to an innovative glass viewing window framing swimmers and cleverly connecting the subterranean level to the rest of the home. This games room also houses a sophisticated bar, a wine cellar, integrated night club style lounge seating and a full bathroom.
Additionally, the lower floor features a hidden laundry room, two store rooms, direct access to a huge five-car garage with a convenient turning circle, and an extra bedroom or home office.
Via the private elevator, the top floor is dedicated to after-hours living. It has four spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobes. In the luxurious primary suite, there is a hotel-inspired ensuite with a unique kidney-shaped freestanding bath and a dressing room.
Rumah’s added extras include warming indoor and outdoor fireplaces, automatic blinds, feature lighting, marble accents, bespoke wallpaper, built-in bedheads, an external spa and low-maintenance landscaped gardens.
