Hotels near Syros Island National Airport - JSY, Ermoupoli

Kini was the perfect mix of Greek style beach resort and traditional village. Not too flashy but with many nice restaurants and an amazingly crystal clear beach. It is easy to walk around the whole village and beyond to other beaches nearby. We ate mostly in our villa but enjoyed meals on the beachfront at restaurants serving traditional Greek food at a good price. A great place to stay.

A beautiful place to stay- an elegant and stylish city with wonderful restaurants and bars. It is easy to access other parts of The island and we loved the proximity of the beaches right in the town itself. We also took the bus to Kini beach which was amazing.

Lovely place by the sea with all the comforts. It is a place for families, not for a teen-ager. It is very good for anyone over fifty looking for clean beach, comfort and no hassle. There are three restaurants, two bars, free car park and it is ten minutes drive from Ermoupoli. You can get a bus every hour to go to town.

It was the first time for me when actually leaving into an old medieval neighborhood - out there someone is transposed into an ancient time! The picturesqueness of the places all around and the old atmosphere of the place worth all the money in the world. And the local people are so friendly and welcoming! Few streets down from our accommodation there is the 'downtown' of the neighborhood, with cozy small boutiques and restaurants / cafeterias, a very animated and colorful area, especially on evenings. It is quite easy to get around Ano Syros, but definitely one needs a good physical condition for that, as there are steps and slopes everywhere. Beyond each corner someone can find a cute alley or an amazing view of the port, an old house, a stylish garden, a church or a chapel. But going uphill to Ano Syros from Ermoupoli (the new city) requires quite an effort, either by car or walking. The parking areas are not close to the hill top where Ano Syros is located and they are pretty crowded, especially during afternoons and evenings. From the parking area one has to walk uphill for a while to get to any place within Ano Syros, which is not easy for those who are not used with this kind of exercise.

Vari is a small beach with two restaurants and three cafe's/bars and two convenience stores. It is about 15 minutes from Ermopolis and has a bus stop with regular bus service. The beach is protected from the north-east winds and has excellent clear water. Vari beach is popular with families.

Kini is great for family vacation, for a week max. It has a nice beach, flooded with umbrellas and beach beds though, so if you like organised beaches, it's ideal. It has a few taverns, with good food in reasonable places. Ermoupoli and Ano Syros is quite close, about 15 minutes by car.
