Where to Stay in Syros

Greece › Syros Hotels & Beach Resorts
by Santorini Dave • Updated: July 6, 2021

Syros is one of the most charming and enchanting islands in Greece. It gets relatively few tourists so feels authentically Greek. Ermoupoli, the port and largest town in the Cyclades, is a wonderful warren of narrow streets and winding alleyways. Syros has good beaches but not marvelous stretches of sand like Naxos, Paros, or Mykonos, so for most people I’d recommend staying in Ermoupoli and making day trips around the island.

The 6 Best Hotels in Syros

1. Hotel Ploes – Ermoupoli

Luxurious boutique hotel that’s a converted 19th-century mansion. There’s swimming directly from the hotel’s waterfront. Short walk to many restaurants and 10-minutes to the ferry port.

2. Wind Tales – Ano Syros

Fantastic gem of a hotel. Incredible views over Ermoupoli (the ferry port) from the small town perched above (Ano Syros). There are several restaurants within a short walk. For shopping and more restaurants, it’s a pleasant 20 minute walk down to the port.
