The Old Symi, Symi

The Old Symi is a family-friendly stay in Symi, Greece, set at Kyrilos Museum, where the island’s character feels close to hand. From this address, you’re well placed for exploring the town’s highlights, including the Naval Museum of Symi about 0.5 km away and the Symi Clock Tower roughly 1.5 km from the property. If you want beach time, Nos Beach is around 1.8 km away, with Agios Emilianos Beach further out at about 4 km. The setting suits travelers who prefer to move at an easy pace—mornings for museums and viewpoints, afternoons for the water.

Customer feedback is mixed: the hotel holds a 5/10 guest rating based on 3 reviews, so it’s worth considering carefully and aligning expectations with a smaller, low-key property rather than a high-service resort. That said, families are explicitly welcome, which helps if you’re traveling with children and want a straightforward base. Practical touches matter here, including free self parking for those arriving by car or planning day trips around the island. Outdoor furniture is also available, giving you a place to sit outside and take in Symi’s weather between outings.

Overall, The Old Symi works best for families and solo explorers who want a calm base in Symi and can balance their plans between nearby attractions and beach days, while keeping an eye on the limited review record.
