Megas Gialos Beach

We had a fantastic stay at Palazzo Santa Maria and would highly recommend it. From the moment Nicholas collected us from the port, the hospitality was exceptional. He is an incredibly kind and attentive host and couldn’t have done more for us – helping with taxis and restaurant bookings, offering recommendations, and even driving us to Ano Syros one evening and giving us advice on where to eat and what to see. The hotel itself is beautiful – a historic building restored impeccably, combining its original character with modern luxury and everything you could need. Our upgraded room was finished to a very high standard, the bed was extremely comfortable, and despite being only a short walk from the centre, the area was wonderfully quiet. We slept incredibly well throughout our stay. Breakfast was another highlight: simple but done exceptionally well, with lovely table service from Anna, fresh fruit and yoghurt, cakes, continental options, eggs and freshly made coffee each morning. A beautiful hotel, wonderful hosts and a perfect example of Greek hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

Comfortable stay and clean rooms, nice breakfast buffet selection and other food options. Good location for the beach nearby and a small store to buy other items like water, swim items, food etc. would stay again

The Hotel Benois was very conveniently located across the road from the beach. Lots of eating options nearby as well. The staff were very helpful and easy to communicate with. Breakfast was very good with a decent variety of options. The rooms were very comfortable. Staying in Galissas is perfect if you want that beach experience yet it was a quick 15 min bus ride into Ermoupolis with the bus stop across the road. Having a pool to lounge around at anytime was also a treat. Would certainly not hesitate recommending this hotel.
