Why guests love itHotel Ploes occupies a listed 19th-century Neoclassical mansion in Ermoupoli, with rooms decorated with handmade rugs, Venetian chandeliers and hand-painted ceilings. The private swimming area lets families reach the sea straight from the hotel, which children enjoy. Most rooms look over the city and the Aegean, and some suites have a spa bath and hammam. With precious interiors, it suits families with older, calm children better than toddlers. I would choose it for a special family occasion on Syros.
