If you are a traveler (instead of a vacationer) finding an authentic experience is always the goal. Such an experience can be found at the charming Alma’s House on a quiet lane in the heart of old town Chora.
The lovely and warm Katerina is the ultimate host, creating a perfect small apartment with all the comforts and sharing her knowledge of Chora and the island. We enjoyed our breakfast each morning in our small courtyard. A huge rooftop patio was our sunset spot each evening. Though shared by Katerina and another apartment, it is big enough to accommodate all.
Alma’s House is steps from some of Chora’s best restaurants, with easy access to the kastro, port, Portara, and walking distance to Agios Gregorios beach.
After a week we had barely scratched the surface of all this beautiful island has to offer. But the memories our daily visits to a favorite cafe, morning exchanges with our neighbors and afternoon swims under the Portara will stay with us forever.
