We read Tripadvisor reviews and contacted the Alkyon Hotel by email. Catherine was very helpful with our inquiries on how to get there, we flew to Mykonos with Easijet from LGW airport and got a much shorter 1 hour ferry from Mykonos to Syros. The hotel is quaint and family run, nevertheless professional, clean, serene, and with the right balance... More

The hotel is very nice, located in a convenient place on the island.The rooms are spotless and have a nice view. Extremely quiet, we particularly enjoyed the magnificent swimming pool and the view from the balcony of our room. Close to the relatively large city of Hermoupolis and to all the cute little villages and beaches of the southern part... More

From the moment the owner Katherine introduced us to her husband Jacobi who appeared as if by magic from a hole in the ground by the immaculate pool, we knew there was something special about the Alkyon. We were proved right. The Hotel was spotless; the staff, who incidentally are all family, very caring, nothing appeared too much trouble. We... More

Once our decision was made to spend two weeks in Syros, we checked out Syros hotels and beaches via TripAdvisor. Having read a lot of good feedback about the Hotel Alkyon at Mega Gialos we decided to book our first week there arriving late on October 3rd. Finally we didn't arrive until the next morning due to a flight delay... More

The Alkyon hotel is an ideal base for a stay in Syros. Katherine, Frank and their family are most welcoming and full of ideas and suggestions for exploring the island. Our big problem was arriving out of season, well the end of the season. The hotel was quite empty and there was a sense of we were inconveniencing the owners... More

How many places do you know where you can relax and at the same time swim at the pool, excercise, relax at the bar and communicate with others? Where you can leave your room key on the door with no second thoughts? Where they remember your favorite meal and prepare it for you? Where you can taste a variety of... More

This is an ideal location for those seeking peace & quiet. Emanic's review is totally unfair to rate this hotel poor just because it doesn't correspond to what he or she was looking for. It's a bit like going to McDonald's and then complaining they didn't serve caviar. If you want noise and activities you simply don't come here. You... More

Having originally seen some reviews on Trip Adviser we decided to make contact direct with this hotel. The owners Catherine and Jacques were so helpful and great at communicating. We booked it direct with them and travelled as a part of 7. Although the hotel is a little off the beaten track this is one of the benefits. There is... More

The hotel and it's owners Jack and Catherine are very nice and friendly people. The hotel is not located on the beach but has a nice view on the sea, it is very clean, the rooms are simple with a greek style, there is a big swimming pool and it's a very quiet place. The staff is friendly and helpful.... More
