Fodor's Expert Review The Old Markets

Symi's historic trading halls have been restored as a delightfully atmospheric inn where centuries-old surroundings are accented by stone floors and antiques. Wrapping a luxury stay around its protected walls was an act of sheer ingenuity. One room has been crafted from an old bakery, its stone oven transformed into a clever subterranean wet-room. The recent conversion of an adjacent Captain’s Mansion, the historic former home of a wealthy merchant, adds lighter, airier rooms (all pastel woods and four-posters) as well as an indoor pool, while dinner and breakfast on the terrace affords one of the more memorable views on the island. Simply the most luxurious, relaxing lodgings to be found on Symi.
