An exquisite, centuries-old national monument with enthralling views over Symi’s historic harbour
The Old Markets is an exquisite, centuries-old national monument with enthralling views over Symi’s historic harbour. A meticulous restoration has delivered a quietly opulent boutique hotel offering the most luxurious lodgings to be had in Symi.
Once the vibrant Agora of the island's prosperous sponge trade era, this historic gem has been meticulously restored to blend timeless elegance with modern luxury.
Set in a protected, amphitheatre-like port framed by the azure Aegean sky and sea, the property exudes charm and heritage. The original galleria of shops has been artfully transformed into spacious guest rooms and suites, preserving architectural features that whisper of its storied past.
Following a comprehensive renovation of three neighbouring properties, The Old Markets now boasts a new swimming pool set amidst a tranquil courtyard garden.
Furnished with a curated collection of fine art and antiquities, the interiors feature silver artifacts from the dining table of King George I of the Hellenes and treasures from London’s iconic Savoy Hotel and Café de Paris. Modern comforts complement the historical ambiance, with each room offering air-conditioning, LED lighting, wireless internet, Chromecast/iPod docking stations, and television. Each also offers pillow-topped king-size or twin beds, along with access to a book and DVD library.
Relaxation spaces include a private four-poster day bed on the terrace.
Guests can unwind at the terrace bar and restaurant, lounge by the swimming pool, or soak in the serenity of the courtyard garden. The combination of historic charm and modern amenities makes The Old Markets a rare and exquisite retreat.
A testament to Symi’s rich heritage, The Old Markets invites guests to experience a perfect harmony of tradition and luxury.
