Hotel Alkyon

The two-star Hotel Alkyon sits on the Megas Gialos coast road south of Ano Syros, a quiet stretch of Syros island roughly fifteen minutes by car from Ermoupoli's ferry port — a fitting base for travellers wanting a beach-side stay away from the town's harbor traffic.

The garden property keeps a tennis court and outdoor pool alongside its bar, uncommon extras at this size, plus bicycle and car rental desks for reaching the island's inland villages.

Megas Gialos beach itself lies within walking distance, with air-conditioned rooms and a 24-hour desk covering late ferry arrivals.
