A charming retreat with timeless beauty

Oktana Traditional House is a charming urban home located in Andros Town, the capital of Andros Island. For centuries, this area has been home to shipowners and seafaring families, reflecting the island's rich maritime history. The house sits within the ancient walls of the old town, on the main pedestrian street, right inside the historic Venetian castle district. Recently renovated, it combines all modern comforts while preserving the character and charm of Andros’ old town.

This single-level stone house covers 100 square meters and was originally built in the late 19th century, with a full renovation completed in 2021. The front entrance opens directly onto the main pedestrian street of Chora, while the rear of the house overlooks Paraporti Beach. The property features two bedrooms, two living rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom. The private balcony offers breathtaking views that are sure to impress.

Oktana Traditional House is perfectly located on the main pedestrian street of Andros Town, within the charming and traditional old town neighborhood, just a few steps away from Theophilos Kairis Square, the vibrant heart of Chora.

The neighborhood is home to both permanent residents and vacation homes, as well as several stylish boutique shops. Just 50 meters away, you'll find the lively main square, offering ouzeries, restaurants, cafés, bars, and souvenir shops.

Free parking is always available just below the neighborhood at the entrance of Paraporti Beach, as well as at Chora's municipal parking lot. From there, it’s a short and pleasant walk along the pedestrian street, through Kairis Square, leading you directly to the entrance of Oktana Traditional House.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a balcony and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a refrigerator, and an oven. Change of towels is available on request.
