About this property

Independent 8 people house in Chorio, Sikinos island, Kyclades islands, Greece

The house is a modern construction, built in 2004. But the neighborhood is very old with the houses around being built after 1750 and through 18th and 19th centuries.
It is located at an extremely nice spot in Sikinos Chorio, with a superb view of the southern, northern and western Kyklades islands. The sunset from the very house is compatible to Santorini's! The house can host easily 7 people (or even more in transported beds, with a small extra cost)
Two bedrooms (a triple with a double and a single bed and a double with double bed and a baby bed) with independent balconies with a lovely view of Sikinos Kastro and the surrounding islands , one bathroom, a wc, fully equiped large kitchen with washing machine, large living room with two large "built couches" that can be used for beds, and a fireplace.
There are two big yards, facing northeast and southeast, suitable for a very large company of people. There's a bbq in the garden by the "Santorini yard".
Also there's a small yard in the west that has the shade of a large almond tree in the mornings.
All these guarantee that you'll have a yard to chill in every hour of the day under any wind!

There's a very large roof terrace with also built couches with an unbelievable view of almost 300 degrees! Υou can see Folegandros, Milos, Kimolos, Polyegos, Sifnos, Serifos, Kythnos, Kea, Despotiko, Antiparos, Paros, Naxos, Ios, Anafi, Thirasia and Santorini! (during very clear days you can see as far as Syros and Tinos. Also at very clear nights the sky in the north is glowing back the lights from... Athens!)!
And that sunset... Imagine a dinner under the clear blue sky looking at the sun setting in the sea or behind Kimolos island! Plus the unimaginative view of the sky and the Milky Way at moonless nights as there is no "light pollution" up there.

The house will be all yours during your stay. Someone of course will take care in case you need anything!

From the house you can start walking on footpaths that lead you to every place of the island!
In the back of the house there's a field that will may be cultivated. There's a chance you'll have the local cucumber and string beans and unwatered tomatoes right there, to pick and eat. Also a large fig tree gives away its lovely fruits...

The house is at 300m alt.
Right next to the house there is no other building but an old aqueduct where there is a transmitter antenna of the island's free wifi!
But don't think you'll be remoted. There are houses around, built about 250 years ago and all of them are restored. Even if they are home to visitors by the time you'll be here, you won't suffer any noise Oh, maybe someone playing a bouzouki on a lazy afternoon (still haven't spotted who this lovely musician is!)
You are practically on your own in the neighborhood as you are... higher than all the rest!

There are no roads inside Chorio, no shops and no traffic. Just narrow footpaths and beautiful houses. You can park at 50m from the house and there are about 30 steps up to it. Parking space is not reserved but it's usually plenty exept mid August but still you'll leave your car some meters down the road.
If you don't have a car or bike, there's a rental office on the island or you can move around by bus. To get to the island, you take a boat from Santorini via Ios (2 hrs), or from Piraeus via various Islands (8.30 hrs). Also you can come from other Kyklades islands such Paros, Naxos, Mykonos via Ios or directly every Friday. The closest international airport is Santorini's and Naxos'

All day and nightlife is at the other, the lower part of Sikinos Village, the Castle (= Kastro). It's one minute by car but, hey, change your life a bit, walk there, it's only some dozens of steps! ;)

This house was built for the summer holidays of our family. No extreme luxury here and no other wish from our family than: "let it be safe and in one piece so from grandma to grandchildren we'll still have our holidays here".

About the host

Hosted by Kostas

Host profile image
I'm 48 years old, a father of an 18 y.o daughter, i've worked in the music industry for ages beafore it died.. I want to be a farmer, i'm preparing myself for some years now. I like meeting people and helping them have a good time. I love travelling, pretty much impossible in these years of financial crisis, i love cats and i love... the north! :)

Why they chose this property

The house was built by my late father and my mother in the biginning of 00s. My father left the island at the tender age of 12 to move to Athens and live by relatives etc and right after he was adult he embarked on merchand ships and traveled around the world. This little rock here grew in his mind so big that became a lifetime purpose to built something after retirement. He and my mom did it! Unfortunately he enjoyed it only for a couple of years as he passed away in 2006. He was one of the happiest, funniest, most easy going persons and his bright spirit is everywhere in this house. :)

What makes this property unique

The house is at an incredible place. The view is spectacular. You have almost 300 degrees view! You can see the sunrise AND the sunset from your... bed! (well, not the same bed! haha)
In August the sun rises from Ios and sets behind Kimolos. In the course to winter the sun rises further south till into the sea near Anafi and sets behind Milos and in February behind Folegandros. But you always have the view!
Remember that famous sunset in Santorini where thousands of people gather on the rocks to live the ritual? Well, in this house, you'll have your own, personal ritual!
Apart from the view, you'll have verandas and balconies to relax day or night and under any wind!
