- Best Hotel in Ermoupoli Old Town: Hotel Ploes
- Best Value hotel for money in Ermoupoli: Blue Harmony Hotel in Kini Beach
- You can visit Syros by plane! But, note that it has not international connection to any other countries, only a direct connection with Athens.
- If you go to Syros by ferry, I always use Ferryscanner to book the ferry tickets! They have done a fantastic job, and it is very user-friendly. Also, if you are thinking of island hopping, this is one of the best platforms that you can use!
- You can find here our post for the best things to do on Syros island!
- The best time to visit Syros Island is from May until October. The high season, of course, is July and August, which makes September (my favourite month) and June the best months.
- Syros is a medium-sized island, and you will need to rent a car. But if you want to avoid this extra cost, Syros has a reasonably good Bus Network (KTEL) (More information here).
Which are the best areas to stay on Syros island?
Syros, a charming island in the Cyclades, offers several great areas to stay, each catering to different preferences
- Ermoupoli: Ermoupoli is vibrant and packed with neoclassical architecture, shops, cafés, and cultural sites. It’s ideal for travellers who enjoy bustling town life and want easy access to cafes, restaurants and nightlife.
- Ano Syros: This old settlement above Ermoupoli, offers a more traditional Greek experience with its narrow, winding streets and stunning views of the Aegean Sea. It’s quieter and perfect for those looking for a more relaxed atmosphere. Note that you might be more far away from the buzz of Ermoupoli and you most probably will need a car.
- Megas Gialos: If I want to stay close to a beach in Syros, most of the times I prefer to stay at Platis Gialos. It is a peaceful seaside area with a lovely beach, making it perfect spot for those looking to relax away from the busier centers.
- Galissas: This beach town is another popular area among families and those looking for a beach holiday. It has a well-organized sandy beach, several restaurants, and bars, and is fairly self-contained.
- Kini: For those who prefer a picturesque fishing village, Kini is lovely. It’s quieter than Galissas and has a beautiful beach, famous for its sunset views.
- Posidonia: This area features grand old mansions and beautiful gardens with good beaches nearby, like Agathopes.

Aristide Hotel – Small Luxury Hotels of the World – Ermoupoli
An excellent blend of new and old mansion from Ermoupoli’s 19th century shipping glory, beautifully restored, with thought to every detail. The garden dining room is very special and the breakfast is fantastic.
I think the location is spot on as it is just outside the centre, but close enough to stroll to the city center and just a few minutes from the Asteria beach. The staff is professional, but always friendly and willing to assist you with a smile and enthusiastic attitude. More Information Here!
Hotel Ploes – Ermoupoli
I think this is a great hotel for the honeymooners. The hotel is a beautiful neoclassic home, in a listed, early 19th-century Neoclassical mansion mixed with antiques, crystal chandeliers and contemporary original art. The rooms are beautifully decorated, spacious with high ceilings.
Breakfast is delicious and it is served on the marvelous terrace.
Note that it is within walking distance from the ferry port in Ermoupoli. and it is located in the Vaporia district of town with old mansions, churches and streets paved with marble. Because of this, please note that the parking can be very challenging. More Information Here!
Hotel Benois – Galissas
The hotel is modern, with a lovely decoratior and interior design throughout and in a great location – as right across the road is the beach!
Note that generally the town of Galissas is quiet and has a handful of taverns and restaurants It is 10′ drive to downtown Ermoupoli by taxi. Bus services are available, and the hotel staff can advise you about them. There are a few local restaurants in the area, but I think hotel’s restaurant is better than many of them.
The pool area is wonderful and calm, creating some relaxing vibese on comfortable beds and chairs. More Information Here!
Wind Tales – Ano Syros
The hotel is located in the middle of the beautiful village of Ano Syros, which offers great restaurants and bars full of life and yummy cocktails. Located on a hill, it means that it offers amazing views to the town but also means that the stairs and steep climb can be a little challenging,
It has a delicious fresh homemade breakfast and also try to taste strapatsada. More Information Here!
