I organized an aerial yoga retreat in Hotel Alkyon Syros and it was just wonderfull. We were made to feel so welcomed by Catherine and Iakovos that we can onl wish to be back as often as possible. For aerial yoga, beautiful shala in an open space, flowers and smiles ! the hotel is confortable, quietfull, you will enjoy all the meals, the swimming pool, the beach and the visits around the island. I sincerely hope that you will have the chance to go and visit this paradise where they speak not only Greek but English and French, maybe more ? Mary Jyoti-yogi.com

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at the Hotel Alkyon. We have been coming to Syros for 27 years and this family run hotel has a very special place in our hearts, having held our wedding reception here. The hotel really is a little jewel of paradise and is the perfect place for a relaxing break. We were very impressed with the COVID-19 protocols in place not only at the hotel, but throughout our journey from the UK to Greece. The sanitisation and distancing procedures at airports, ports, on the ferries and local busses reassured us of any safety concerns at all times. Random COVID-19 testing was carried out on arrival at Athens airport. Again, this was very well organised and I was tested, collected my baggage and boarded a taxi within 25 minutes of arriving. The hosts - Catherine, Jack, Justine and Caroline have become our adopted Greek-French family and the warmest of welcomes always awaits, not only for us, but for all guests and as Jack always says “everything is possible.” The hotel is of an exceptionally high standard and beautifully presented both inside and out. The pool is Jack’s pride and joy and receives his personal attention every morning. The hotel restaurant is highly recommended for a delicious authentic Greek meal. Top tip: try the stuffed squid! A variety of refreshments are also available from the pool bar, don’t forget to try one of Justine’s mojitos. We spent a number of days chilling out by the pool, the ideal place to relax. The beach at Megas Yialos is around a 10 minute walk. Syros has a number of quaint little villages and sandy beaches, which are well worth a visit, as is the main town Ermoupolis. Make sure to visit Ano Syros and enjoy the breath-taking views. The local bus service runs on a circular route around the island and stops close to the hotel. We are always sad to leave Syros and return home, but we are very happy to have already booked our flights to return in August 2021. …

This was our first visit,but for sure,not the last.Why ? Because,as the owner Jacovos said,‘’ Everything is possible’’.And he would never lie! In this family hotel,professionally but kindly managed by Jacovos and his wife,Catherine,they do their best to help us to reach as more as possible an unforgettable stay. There is 25 rooms,simple but perfectly furnished,with quality beds,in a very quiet atmosphere.Everything is cleaner as a Swiss Hospital,the country where we come from !!! Our room offered us a beautiful sea view and the balcony is surrounded by bougainvillea.The large swimming pool offer us a beautiful relaxing time.Jacovos or Catherine are ready to bring you at any time a real Greek Ice coffee (ena frappé skiatos, efkaristo poly).What else ?You will reach easily beautiful and still wild creeks by walking 10 minutes.In this nature,it smells a large varieties of wild flowers,herbs and trees,as white sage,thyme, fennel,fig trees or prickly pear. All the family is kindly ready to explain you everything about the Island,the history and some ‘’secrets about the Greek cooking’’.Due to the kindness,open-mindedness and respect for their guests,as well as some jokes and crazy laughs,Catherine and Jacovos offered us what we really needed at that time :Perfect reconnection with the Natural Life and with ourselves.Thank you so much and see you soon.With love,Boris and Cécile. …

We spent 12 amazing days at the Hotel Alkyon and can’t wait to go back, this is a really unique and special place. Catherine and Iakovos are friendly and helpful--giving us many great tips about the island and delightful conversations during lunch or dinner in the restaurant. We really enjoyed getting to know the family during our stay. The hotel has everything you need to relax on a Greek island: a large pool (with diving board!), a restaurant and bar, great views, and is a close walk to small beaches or a ten minute drive to larger ones. Its well located between Ermopolous and beach towns, but is very peaceful and scenic. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we felt very well taken care of. Can’t give the Alkyon a glowing enough recommendation!
