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.

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.
