Syrios heating appliances are environmentally friendly

The main resource is wood which ensures environmental and economical use

www.syrios.eu

Syrios heating appliances are fully certified by accredited laboratory according to the security and energy protocols.

Syrios family has begun its activity in heating sector since the half of the last century. It was just after the war when the two brothers, Constantine and Stavros Syrios, listened for the heating requirements of those difficult years and began timidly to make their first wooden stoves, initially by using poor means and hand tools and later with more modern production tools.

After 1990, Andreas Syrios, the follower of this tradition, revived the company, modernized its philosophy and structure while he improved its products. The first products that he produced were stoves made entirely of cast iron and later, in 1996, he began the production of wood fireplaces made only of cast iron or of cast iron in combination with steel. Nowadays, the company’s products occupy a leading position in the Greek market and the brand name

Syrios has become identical with the innovative quality and absolute reliability in heating sector.

In 2000, Syrios company was transferred into its new privately owned facilities of 4.750 m 2 in the Industrial

Area of Tripoli by investing simultaneously in high tech equipment for metal processing. Nowadays, we continue our uptrend and we market new and advanced energy products, fully certified according to the international standards of performance and safety

Syrios heating appliances are 100% greek products designed and manufactured in our factory, located at the Industrial Area of Tripoli

George Eliades

Algean Property:

More confidence in the property sector in 2015

On the 09 th of September, 2015, George Elias Eliades Managing Partner of Algean Property , shared his expertise and experience about the high end real estate market in Greece and its major growth possibilities, with Al

Arabiya TV� The leading news station in the Arab world� ( Al Arabiya part A ,

Al Arabiya part B )

Having spent a considerable amount of time in market research� Investors are now ready to move forward in investing on high end properties� This explains, as Mr� Eliades states, the increase in incoming requests to the company, Algean Property, following the Bailout agreement in August�

While, in general terms, property prices have fallen by 30-40% and in some cases even lower, holiday homes in prime holiday locations retain their current value due to strong interest of holiday rentals�

Branded destinations such as, Mykonos and Santorini are in very high demand, especially from EU residents� In contrast, investors from the

Middle East have focused their interest on the Athenian Riviera and Porto

Heli� Other sought after destinations, according to the latest estimates, are

Crete, Rhodes and Halkidiki�

There has also been a considerable increase in requests coming from

US citizens, mainly because of the strengthening US Dollar� The decline in Greece’s real estate prices over the last five years has also created vast investment opportunities and thus a major contributing factor to the growing US originated interest�

Mr Eliades, also, supported the position that in order for the foreign investors to enter the market, the State needs to address the need of a more stable legal and tax framework�

Algean property is a full-service property company focusing on the Hellenic market and other select opportunities in the EMEA region� Its expertise lies in the luxury residential and high-end hospitality development sector�

We provide property search, acquisition assistance, valuation services and real estate research for individual private investors, potential homeowners, developers and investment funds�

The Algean Property is a member of Algean Group, a group that operates and invests in innovative business models�
