Beach towels are available to borrow from reception.

There is also a shop next door for handy items (unsure if this is classed as on site), right in front of the beach.

This beach is fun with lots to explore and a few little cafes.

but perfectly formed resort on the west coast of Syros and Hotel Benois sits just slightly off the road through the town - opposite the beach.

Friendly staff, clean rooms, nice little pool, one of the best breakfasts we've had in Greece and just a minute's walk to the beach.

Galissas beach – so peaceful and beautiful – is literally across the road.

This is an excellent hotel in a great location 50metres from a really lovely beach.

Good facilities, handy for the beach and for getting around the island.

The ideal island hotel for me  has a pool, good food in a nice setting and is beside the beach.

If you decided you would rather go to to the beach, it was right across the street.

Location: Just across the road (not busy) from the (good) beach, which has numerous umbrellas.

The hotel is 2 minute walk to the best beach on the island.

The pool is great and the beach in front of the hotel is large and good for families with small children: hot water and clean water.

Aside from Benois, the beach opposite is one of the best - spacious with loads of sun beds and a beautiful warm sea to dip into.

First Impressions
Located in a very peaceful bay of Galissis on the west of the island and only 250m from the beach, this modern family run hotel is a little gem.

The location is perfect, opposite the beach, lots of parking and right next to the restaurants/bars.

Fantastic bus service that will take you around the island for €1.30 each way - we went into Hermoupolis and spent the day at Vari Beach using this service.

modern 39 room hotel with lovely pool to across the road from the beach.

I have visited Syros and Galissan beach in particular for many decades.

The hotel breakfast was really high quality with a great selection that changed every day.

Breakfast is a buffet style and plentiful,  if you chose to have lunch and dinner here too you won’t be disappointed.

Maria in the reception and Maria in the bar will welcome you every morning with the biggest smile while Despoinas Mom is in the kitchen getting a really good Greek buffet breakfast ready.

The breakfast was substantial and the wifi reliable.

Breakfasts were superb and really relaxed.

Maria on reception, Costa at the bar and Nicolette overseeing excellent breakfast were our stars

The food is very good particularly the breakfast.

Worth mentioning that the cook baked cakes/tarts for breakfast every day.

Fabulous breakfast with a good selection of fresh local produce and great homemade cakes.

Breakfast is good with a large selection of homemade products: plenty of cakes, pies, omelette, fresh fruits.

The restaurant serves a great breakfast and snacks throughout the day and in the evening. Service.

The breakfast was also great – lots of options including both continental and cooked choices, and fresh delicious food.

Good variety of food at breakfast - hot and cold options.

The free breakfast was really good, and there were a new variety of options each day.

You get the gist.

Buffet breakfast with great choices to suit everyone.

We had to check out a day earlier as our flights changed. Not for one minute did we expect it or ask for it (our problem, not theirs!)

On arrival we were expected to carry our suitcases up 2 flights of stairs!!!!

Went for a (below average) breakfast, asked for a frappe coffee instead of the machine ones (that one can have 365/7 anywhere on the world).

The bus route around the south of syros is handy and well worth using.

Convenient once you manage to hop into one though

We were only in Syros for 3 nights and it eased us into our Cyclades Greek tour perfectly!

There's also 2 coach routes that run around the island that are inexpensive and they pull up right outside the Benois.

but the pool bar also serves light snacks such as Dakos, toasties and bruschetta.

We wandered down the hill to the village and loved the local restaurants and bars which offer traditional Greek food.

The bar and pool area was beautiful and we had the pleasure of this to ourselves a lot of the time.

They have a bar and the cocktails were delicious.

It feels like you're staying at a good friend's house (only that house happens to be impeccable, with a stunning view and pool bar).

There are a few tavernas and bars to chose from

The hosts make this place special.

The bar with great view serves until late in the nigh.

Considering there are only 6 room the pool, terrace and bar area are fantastic, you would never be short of a sun bed!

We had such a great time staying here, it was totally brilliant and luxurious, this was for everything - the staff, the apartment, breakfasts, bar, location, views, pool, proximity to the sea and village, peace and quiet. Heaven.

Sipping a cocktail during sunset at the pool bar is a must.

The pool and bar area are modern, quiet and we often had the entire pool area to ourselves.

The shy Rita, Christos, a true gentleman at the bar and always on hand for your every need.. the cocktails are in a different league too.

The suites are spacious, clean and well equipped, the bar well stocked and the breakfasts were delicious (even served until midday if you fancy a lie in).

The breakfasts are immaculately prepared and absolutely delicious and the bar is very nice.

We were lucky enough during our stay to experience a cocktail night with Constantinos an excellent bar tender & friend of Terezdina who had visited from Athens.

Our stay in Syros is for only a week and most days, we stayed by the pool, enjoying the outdoor bar, sunshine and the view.

but for the most part, we enjoyed being blissfully on our own to relax, read, nap and have wine at the wonderful little bar near the pool with Terezdina, who is so captivating and delightful that, some days, we spent the entire afternoon speaking with her, having wine or a beer with snacks and loving every minute.

It starts at breakfast (scheduled whenever you like it) goes on throughout the day - hanging out at the beautiful pool terrace with a terrific view over Kini bay enjoying the best frappé or latte freddo - and doesn´t stop in the evening - be it a chilly glass of rosé wine or a delicious cocktail at the pool bar.

She is the world's best bar lady, mixing beautiful drinks with hilarious stories in her perfect English.

We spent our days in a very relaxed manner, breakfast around 9am and then a short stroll down to the beach (our favourite being Lotos) where we would stay for a few of hours before walking back up for a light lunch.

This is the town and the beach that is a 5 minute walk away, albeit, down a pretty steep slope.

Terezdina and her team are simply amazing, the rooms are beautiful (we loved the spacious suite with a huge terrace and private pool), and the location close to Kini Beach - with gorgeous views over the bay - is just perfect.

We loved everything about this stylish, family run boutique B&B….the gorgeous setting and stunning views, the location 10 minutes walk up from Kini beach, the beautiful pool and comfy double sun-beds (best we’ve ever experienced!)

A short walk to the fishing village of Kini, with plenty of lovely Syros beaches nearby, including the gorgeous Lotos beach.

but Pino Di Loto has a perfect view across the bay and narrow beach and it’s charming.

The location is stunning, overlooking Kini beach (a 5-10 min walk away) and its magical sunsets.

Nice family beach in Kini and lovely cliff walk to Delfini beach.

A short stroll takes you to numerous great restaurants and a few beaches.

It’s located on a hill observing Kini beach where you can watch the beautiful sunsets.

very small low key and the only area we got to was the beach area which is great for swimming with a number of restaurants offering sun beds.

The village and beach are ten mins easy walk.

Easy access to visit the hole island and very close to the beach.

A short walk down into the town - 5-10 minutes, perhaps a bit more coming back up hill, with some really good restaurants and a nice beach.

Our experience at Pino di loto was just as amazing as the fading sunset overlooking Kini beach!

Pino di Loto is ideally situated on the hills overlooking Kini beach.

There is a beautiful beach, approx 5 minutes walking distance from the property.

She arranged taxis, restaurants, lent us parasols for the beach - she does it all!

Probably the best spot to enjoy Syros sunset with a breathtaking view next to Kini beach (there are 2 amazing restaurants there)!

Tip: parking might be an issue in Hermupolis, so if you are a couple you 'd rather rent a bike than a car.

Terezina and her father could not do enough to help, even arranging for delivery of a push bike fr the other side of the island for us.

Breakfast was served daily on the expansive terrace and was one of the nicest I've had whilst on holiday.

They make you feel like family from the beginning of the day with a made to order breakfast to a late afternoon swim in the pool with spectacular views and an early evening drink as the sun sets over the Aegean.

The breakfast was delicious with the bread and juice and jam.

The pool and views are beautiful, the rooms are clean, luxurious and full of little personal touches and the breakfast/snacks are local, fresh and delicious.

The main pool and bar area are spotless and welcoming with large sun beds,  Breakfast was lovely and plentiful.

Amazingly friendly and helpful staff, a spacious room, an excellent pool and amazing views to be enjoyed over breakfast and sunset drinks.

The breakfasts are delicious and they go all out to ensure you are replete.

I loved the pool bar, where Chrisanthos made me delicious smoothies every afternoon as I enjoyed a good book and the amazing view.

The breakfast is also on of the highlights of the stay with all it's carefully selected local food prepare with love and pride by the staff.

From the hearty, fresh, delicious breakfasts to the incredible views to the amazing suite we had.

The apartments are stunning, the breakfast will fill your belly with traditional flavors and the view and peacefulness of the location will take your breath away!

The breakfast that is served every morning is simple, elegant, nutritions and tastes good.

Breakfast is very nice and whatever you want they will make it happen.

The breakfast on a terrace with sublime views is delightful.

The owner called us to ask of our arrival time and whether we would want them to have breakfast ready for us upon arrival.

The service is perfect with friendly personnel helping you to relax and enjoy the stay.The breakfast includes local cheeses, Greek yogurt, fresh fruits and many other tastes.

As others have all mentioned, the breakfast feast is amazing with so much variety, served with an amazing view and amazing service.

Terezdina booked us a table a couple of times at our favourite restaurants - "Dyo Tzitzikia Sta Armyrikia" and "Allou Yialou" and we always got some of the best tables in the house when Terezdina booked for us.

but they were for sure the best meals we had during our entire trip, including Mykonos.

Kini beach has a few great restaurants and cafes, as well as lounge chairs and umbrellas.

Great for accommodating food intolerances.

On the last day I mentioned the long climb up from town to Terezdina and she suggested that they pick up dinner and bring it up and we had a very nice dinner straight from our favorite restaurant Allou Yialou on the terrace.

All the food and drinks are sourced locally if possible- huge range of micro beers and local wines.

This is a fantastic place to unwind, read, swim, gaze at the ocean, watch the sun set and stroll to nearby tavernas for a leisurely meal.

Terezdina makes sure your stay is one that you will never forget, making sure everything you need is there and organized. Christos is an amazing asset to the Pino Di Loto family and went out of his way to look after us, making many trips to the restaurants for us to pick up lunch and dinner (thank you!)

Kini is a lovely small resort with excellent restaurants.

We were lucky enough to be invited to the cocktail evening and I couldn’t think of a nicer place to drink cocktails with friends watching the beautiful sunset.

They arranged for us a masseur specialist and they would reserve us places every day at different restaurants and dinings.

but there was a good choice of bars and restaurants, including on the beach, to choose from, plus minimarkets and a pharmacy.

The pool is lovely and relaxing and there are plenty of sun beds with umbrellas, the young girl at the pool bar is lovely and very friendly.. We used the local restaurants and found the food to be good value, there is also and small local supermarket up the road.

At 6pm the bar in thec hotel opens, until midnight.

The pool bar provides delicious snacks and beverages and we were very pleased with the quality of the food at the hotel restaurant.

😀😀😀

Extra choices: The Green Dollar Bar at the feet of the Hotel and some extra dining choices at walking distance from the Hotel.

The staff at the bar were very friendly and helpful, and the prices for food and drinks were relatively reasonable.

Everything about the hotel works so well, restaurant, bars, pool area and a fabulous very clean sandy beach.

Breakfast is good and the pool with its bar and taverna equally good.

The location is very close to a sandy beach which is not deep, The resort has a nice swimming pool with a very good pool bar.

The pool had a water slide which is a big hit with kids.The hotel has a kids club which helps and in front of the hotel there is a bar that also has an unsupervised playground.

The pool is ok, with a nice bar next to it which serves food and drinks throughout the day.

The hotel has very beautiful surroundings, a playground and a bar where every night there was live music

Hotel has a big pool, very clean with a nice pool bar .

children gets free ice-cream and popcorn at the pool bar.

Stayed on garden view ground floor apartment , surrounded by pretty gardens blocks at varying heights with views across to the beach (from those with balconies) bed and breakfast basis pretty good good selection of cold and hot food available  ( Greek style not full English ) staff always friendly and helpful , pool area great pool bar , steps down to beach .

We had a day out in the next bay round, called Kini, which is a worth a visit.

The resort is steps away from the beach and local restaurants.

Next door there is a clean and sandy beach, which has been awarded the blue flag label.

Beautiful little white Cycladic houses, green and flowers all around you, a sandy beach right in front of you.

Hotell lies beside Galissas beach, that is the most small kid friendly beach in the world (I Think).

Both balconies looked out over the beautiful beach and out to sea.

We stayed for 3 nights in and we had a great time, the staff are really friendly and very helpful, the rooms are lovely and the view over the pool and beach is beautiful!

Relaxing holidays
Nice views , polite staff, good breakfast, sandy beach.

- tasty food (we booked full board)
- amazing nearby beach (sandy, clean water).

But the amazing staff, the beautiful rooms, our amazing sea view, the kids friendly pool and the best possible location, right on the beach, made it impossible to not truly enjoy our holiday!

Lovely hotel by Gallisas beach, built like a tiny village up the slope of a hill, featuring a nice view of the bay and  following strict Covid-19 protocols, the best I saw this far at Tinos & Syros .

Galissas beach is breathtaking just a few steps away from the resort.

The beach nearby (Galissas) is breathtaking and you can watch amazing sunsets.

The hotel is located, in my opinion, on the best beach of the island of Syros, Galisa beach.

Lovely pool area within seconds of the beautiful beach.

Ideally situated on the picturesque hills overlooking Galissas beach and sporting a large swimming pool with slides, it is highly recommended for families looking to relax by the sea or pool side.

I visited the hotel for a week with my family.Next to a shallow water beach,ideal for children.Nice pool,tasty meals,very clean, friendly staff.

nice place for families , next to a children friendly beach and sea
from the piscine to the beach just a road cross, nice food especially the breakfast and if you request for a room with a view you will enjoy a lovely  sea view with a balcony that at the aftenoom has always a refresh air that makes you not able to leave it!

The breakfast was adequate, perhaps more for continental than British taste,

The breakfast buffet was more than enough, with a variety of foods to choose from.

Breakfast is one of the better I`ve  experienced in Greece.

The half board option was not much more than bed and breakfast and it was worth it.

Huge breakfast with many things to choose from.

The cuisine is again excellent, in the genre of “hotel cuisine”, fresh fruit abound and the rice pudding ( rizogalo) at breakfast is a feast for the soul.

There was a great variety at breakfast and meals.

It was all that we could have ever dreamed of: beautiful location, beautiful views and renovated room, sparkling clean, staff so friendly and cautious, our towels were wrapped in plastic to stay extra clean, great breakfast!

Breakfast not exciting and after one week you realized the food rota which was not brimming with variety.

I was able to get a long uninterrupted swim in, before breakfast.

Had perfect time at the hotel, kids (5 and 3) loved everything from swimming pool with slide, free ice cream and pop corn, incl breakfast buffet, nice shallow beach.

One the bread offering should provide some variety for all breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

The main restaurant offers excellent buffet for breakfast and dinner with free drinks.

The hospitality, the kind stuff, the excellent breakfast, the very clean areas and rooms and bathrooms.

The hotel facilities, the room, the restaurants, and the pool with a fun slide are all in great shape.

The only available network is in the lobby, the restaurant etc,

Again the food here was lovely and huge portions - we learnt after the first day to order a few dishes to share are they were too big for one each.

Great food at the hotel and high quality products.

It’s geared towards families with children and meal times can be stressing occasionally

Friendly and helpful service very good quality and variety of food
A lot thanks to the staff of the hotel for make this an unforgettable holiday.

Restaurant for full board is great value though there is limited selection of mainly homey local dishes, often uninspiring

For those on HB or FB, dinner was also served in the restaurant.

The food was a very good standard and we had no complaints at all.

We also went half board and the food was very fresh and home-made, Life-guard was lovely and very friendly with the kids and did her job very well.

We stayed on half-board and were totally satisfied with all food supplied.

The only issue was the smell of the sanitation which some times was really awfull.

The only alternative offered was dark, smelly room with no windows at the ground floor that was good only for storage not for people staying in it.

The room that gave us at first didn't satisfy us at all as there was a weird smell there propably from the sewage near the room.

It was loud at all hours, kids screaming day and night, in the dining hall, guests smoking is out of hand, the smoking section is inside where the buffet is so you get no mealtime peace as you're getting jostled and spilt on.

The room had a lot of dirt on the walls and under the bed, the bathroom had a disgusting odor from the sink, the cleaning ladies were knocking the door at nine in the morning cause they wanted to clean the room.

The only downside to the restaurant was the smoking arrangements.

our room was found dirty when we arrived it had a terrible smell of mustiness togather with cigarrettes and the walls were full of moisture.

Also, in the middle of the toddler pool was a drainage hole that our daughter fell down,

The restaurant could get a bit noisy and smoky at times, though.

Dolphin Bay Family Beach Resort

smell

The staff was so helpful from pick up upon arrival, sitting down to talk about the city and the sights, the amazing breakfasts each morning, to setting up transport for our departure.

Gorgeous views, great breakfast, lovely staff and perfect location in stunning Ano Syros.

We were served the best fresh Greek breakfasts we had during our trip to the Cyclades with organic products from Alexis’s family farm.

The best place  to have  a delicious breakfast!

The room was clean every morning and the breakfast was very nice and tasty!

Our room had a beautiful balcony overlooking Ermoupoli and the port, the services and breakfast were excellent.
