Manolis Syrmas - Personality in Spetses Greece
Where do you live on Spetses? With family, animals or alone: Between Analypsis and the old harbour - with my wife, Efi and two children, Elena (aged 9) and Yanis (aged 6)
What is your present or past occupation? I own and manage the MOURAYO MUSIC BAR AND RESTAURANT with my brother, Sotiris.
Where are you to be found most of the time? At the Mourayo Music Bar and Restaurant.
Which Spetses beach do you prefer? Vrelos beach. This year it has changed completely. It has luxurious sunbeds, umbrellas, beach bar with drinks, fruit cocktails and hot dogs and a DJ playing good music on Friday and Saturday nights. Beach volley for the active and my favourite for those who just want to relax - hammocks in the trees!
What's your favourite view of Spetses? From the lighthouse on the tip of the old harbour, where I can look across at all the boats and of course, The Mourayo!
Which time of year or season best suits you on Spetses - why? Autumn, as I’m a romantic and love walking in the rain. My star sign is Libra in autumn too.
Where would you choose to live if not Spetses? Hersonissos in Crete as it is the most southern Greek island.
If you could start your life again, what career would you choose? Definitely a professional singer.
Which country of those you have visited, impressed you the most (other than Greece!)? Palermo in Italy. I love the climate as it is similar to Greece. The architecture is beautiful and the people are friendly and hospitable.
Do you have any hobbies/pastimes? I love painting - particularly houses, boats and Byzantine mosaics.
What's your favourite traditional Greek dish? Goat in lemon sauce.
Who would you choose to headline the next Armata celebrations? Antonis Remos.
Where would you take a friend on a one day visit to Spetses? Ayia Paraskevi in the day and then to Lazarus taverna in the evening.
What, in your view, is the best part about life on Spetses? I love the fact that it is a stress free life - with a slow pace - entirely different to that of Athens.
