Location & Transportation

The Old Markets is near various landmarks, including the Monastery of the Archangel Michael just 0.1 miles away, and the Archaeological Museum of Symi, located 0.5 miles from the property. Local transportation options facilitate easy access to surrounding areas.

“Perched just above the harbour, the hotel presents a calming neoclassical atmosphere with stunning views. What I found notable is the way this converted national monument blends historical charm with modern comfort. The personalized service and unique rooms make it a perfect retreat for couples seeking a romantic getaway in Symi.”
