We spent four very comfortable nights at The Old Markets as part of our honeymoon. The hotel has been meticulously designed from the shell of an old market by Andy and Carlo and they have done an excellent job. We stayed in the Arabian Room which was small but perfectly styled. The bed was super comfortable with high thread count... More

It is an oasis of calm with wide reclining areas, luxurious canopied sofas and a beautifully laid table with the music tailored to your own... More

I'd not been to Symi before, but it is a fabulous place to completely relax and get away from it all. The Old Markets have been restored with the same high level of detail that you receive from the hosts, Andy & Carlos Wonderful hotel, accommodation and hospitality... can't wait to go back!

We booked the old markets for a special celebration. the hotel was truly amazing from start to finish and this does not do any justice to how wonderful Andy and Karlos made the weekend. The hotel lends itself well for small groups which we had the place for exclusive hire. Andy helped arrange the add ons to the weekend such... More

This is a review I am reluctant to write as I don't want The Old Markets on Symi to be booked up forever. Nonetheless, I have to give credit to owners Andy and Carlo. They have created a truly remarkable hotel in this stunning spot overlooking the harbour, having refurbished the historic building to an incredibly high standard. Photographs truly... More

The Old Markets was stunning in every way - beautiful rooms, great location, fantastic service, delicious food. The quality of service and attention to detail was second to none. Loved the beautiful island of Symi and every minute we stayed there. It doesn't get better than the Old Markets. Thanks Andy & Carlo!

Our honeymoon got off to an amazing start during our stay at The Old Markets. Carlo and Andy went out of their way to make us feel welcome, from offering advice and insights into what to do and see, to bringing our scrumptious breakfast to our room at whatever time we wanted it. We really felt looked after and enjoyed... More
