Symi Hotels, Apartments and Studios

Eos Studios sit in Yialos, the main town of Symi, offering self-catering studios and apartments with a furnished terrace over the port and a free two-way transfer to the harbour. The family-run studios are bright and tastefully furnished, with a well-equipped kitchenette and dining area and some with a living room, plus a flat-screen TV, air conditioning and a hairdryer. Guests get free beach towels and free Wi-Fi throughout, the port of Yialos is a 10-minute walk and the town centre a 5-minute walk.

The Dorian Hotel stands in a beautiful part of town just 10 metres from the sea, up from the Akti Gennimata, with rustically furnished rooms, orthopaedic beds and a well-equipped kitchen. Each air-conditioned apartment has a balcony or patio with outdoor furniture for morning coffee or an evening ouzo, and some look over the harbour. The beach is 50 metres away, while the port, bus stop, centre and local market are all within 150 metres, with parking on adjacent streets.

The Pantheon Mansion is a restored mansion between the shore and Ano Hora, a small luxury hotel of 5 rooms with panoramic views of Symi and a mix of antique furnishings and modern amenities. It sits in the middle of Kali Strata, the stepped road that connects the coast with the settlement of Ano Hora, and serves a sumptuous buffet breakfast, with a modern kitchen, air-conditioned rooms and satellite TV. The terrace and atrium look out over the harbour and the town, and the steps lead up to Ano Hora or down to the cosmopolitan district of Gialos with its shops, bars and taverns.

Iapetos Village is a five-star hotel very close to the centre of Symi Town, set among a group of traditional houses with an exotic garden and a large swimming pool. Guests can have a drink at the poolside bar beside the neoclassical house, relax on the terrace and in the garden, and be pampered at the beauty salon, with free Wi-Fi internet access throughout.
