2islands, Afaia Villa, Mercury

Welcome to Mercury House, an integral part of the esteemed 2islands Villa Afaia complex, nestled in the heart of Gialos, on the picturesque island of Symi, Greece. This charming two-story traditional house is one of three distinctive apartments meticulously crafted in the traditional style of Symi Houses, each exuding its unique personality and allure.

Immersed in the captivating surroundings of 2islands Villa Afaia, Mercury House stands as a testament to Symi's architectural heritage, embodying the island's distinctive charm and character. Within this complex, guests discover a harmonious blend of tradition and comfort, offering an authentic experience in a serene and captivating setting at the heart of Gialos.

Perched in the enchanting Gialos area, overlooking the serene harbor, Mercury House presents awe-inspiring panoramic views, creating an enchanting backdrop for your stay. Relax and unwind in the villa's backyard, where a shared veranda furnished with comfortable outdoor seating beckons you to immerse yourself in the island's tranquility.

Step into these thoughtfully designed spaces, offering modern amenities such as a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living area, and a well-appointed bathroom. Please note that due to a steep narrow staircase, this property might not be suitable for children or elderly guests seeking accommodation.

Convenience reigns supreme, with essential amenities—supermarkets, bakeries, ATMs, banks, restaurants, and vibrant entertainment venues—all within easy reach. The renowned Symi festival, offering a cultural extravaganza with complimentary admission, awaits just a few minutes from your doorstep.

For adventurous explorers, our strategic location ensures easy access to transportation hubs. Free parking is available nearby, just a few meters away from the villa and in the main square. Nearby taxi boats offer transport to exclusive island beaches, while a nearby bus stop opens pathways to Symi's treasures, including the revered Panormitis monastery and the charming villages of Pedi and Chorio.

Please note that accessing the property involves ascending over 100 stairs, which might limit accessibility for those with mobility concerns. However, during the months of July and August, we offer complimentary harbor transfers at check-in, including baggage assistance, ensuring a seamless transition to your island sanctuary.

Discover the allure of Symi from the exceptional vantage point of 2islands Villa Afaia, where the perfect fusion of tradition and comfort awaits, promising an unforgettable Greek getaway immersed in natural beauty and cultural richness.

Not for those with mobility issues
Apartment is 3 rooms on 3 floors, separated by steep stairs (ladders, really). This apartment is not for those with mobility issues as the stairs are tough to navigate. Property is clean, wi-fi is good and there’s hot water. Kitchen is very bare bones. Note: all of Symi has steep stairs everywhere and it is not good for those who have mobility issues.
