As summer matures and the Aegean light turns golden, Syros reveals a quieter kind of
brilliance. Far from the crowds of Mykonos or the clichés of Santorini, Syros offers an
experience that is deeper, more architectural, and more intimately tied to Greek history and
everyday life.
At the heart of it all stands Syrou Melathron, a restored 19th-century mansion in the noble
district of Vaporia, where elegance, authenticity, and artistry come together to create a stay
unlike any other.
Built on Legacy
Built in 1857, Syrou Melathron was once home to a prominent trading family during Syros’
golden era—a time when the island flourished as a maritime and cultural capital. Today, this
neoclassical gem preserves its hand-painted ceilings, marble bathrooms, and antique
charm, offering guests a portal into the past with all the comforts of modern boutique luxury.
Each suite is a conversation between centuries—where Cycladic light meets Venetian lines,
and history breathes through every handcrafted detail.
Vaporia: The Soul of Syros
The hotel is located in Vaporia, the aristocratic quarter of Ermoupolis, known for its pastel
mansions cascading into the sea. Here, grand churches like St. Nicholas sit beside artist
ateliers, and narrow marble alleys wind toward hidden cafés and crystalline swimming coves.
Walkable, photogenic, and steeped in heritage, Vaporia isn’t just a neighborhood—it’s a living
museum of Greek elegance.
