Aegean Paradiso

I’ve stayed at quite a few boutique hotels on Syros, and this adults-only resort was a great find. The rooms were well equipped with everything I needed, the food was good, the coffee delicious, and the drinks refreshing. Sitting by the pool with a cocktail was a real treat. The beach is only a two-minute walk away, and the sun rises right in front of the hotel each day. It’s spectacular. I can’t wait to come back!

The setting made it easy to unwind: the Aegean Paradiso is peaceful, with a beach right nearby, a mini-mart, and a good choice of restaurants. The bus stop to Ermoupoli is only two minutes away. Buses ran about once an hour, cost €2 one way, and took 10-15 minutes. Syros National Airport was also just 10 minutes away, which worked well for our flight off the island. We stayed in suite 504, at the edge of the property, so it felt private. The private pool was much bigger than we expected, with a table and chairs, two smaller sun beds, and a large couch tucked into the shade. Inside, the bedroom, living area, and bathroom were in a row, with sliding doors between the bedroom and living space. The bedroom had a big smart TV with popular streaming apps, and there was another TV in the living area. We also had a Nespresso machine with capsules replenished daily, a kettle and several teas, and an incredible shower. The bathroom amenities went beyond what I’d usually expect, including a dental kit and shaving kit. There was plenty to use around the hotel too. I’m not a gym-goer, but there was an open-air gym. The main pool had different kinds of sun beds, and we never struggled to find one. There was also a reasonably priced bar and a games room with a free pool table, table football, and board games. Breakfast was included and very good, with breads, pastries, fruit, cheese, ham, bacon, sausages, crepes or pancakes on alternating days, cereal, yoghurt, and more. Even fussy eaters would find something. The huge display of little jam and spread jars had flavors we’d never even heard of. The breakfast team were friendly and attentive. We got a lovely, friendly welcome when we arrived and were shown to our room. The accommodation was clean and high quality, the service was five-star, and having no children around was honestly fantastic. We’ve already recommended the Aegean Paradiso to friends and family, and we’ll definitely come back ourselves.

Four of us friends went to Aegean Paradiso for a milestone birthday and had an amazing time. The beach is just steps away, with some incredible restaurants to choose from. The rooms, food, pool, and staff were unbeatable. Don’t miss the premium wine tour while you’re there. It was the perfect finish to our Cyclades trip. This is the place to stay in Syros!

Breakfast was a lovely start to every day, with fresh local products and lots of choice. We also spent plenty of time relaxing by the pool, which was calm and spotless, often with a cocktail or snack. The staff kept everything in great shape and made sure the atmosphere stayed restful. Our room was spacious, very clean, and had all we needed. The balcony, with its lovely view and pool, was a favorite spot after the beach or a day exploring Syros. The hotel is close to the beach and a short ride from Ermoupoli, while still feeling peaceful. From the moment we arrived at Aegean Paradiso, the staff were kind, attentive, and ready to help. The place was beautifully maintained, and the stay went beyond what we expected. It felt like a little paradise. We’d recommend it to anyone visiting Syros and can’t wait to return!
