This historic
and elegant Symi town house, once used
as a
hospital during the Second World War, is situated at the back of the
harbour. It is reached via a steady slope,
the
Kataraktis, with few steps – ideal for those who want to avoid the
typical Symi
climbs.
An original
traditional pebbled entrance leads into
an
unusual and impressive long hallway from which lead off two double
bedrooms,
each with a traditional platform beds. There is only one bathroom but
this has
two basins, shower and bath with plenty of space for toiletries.
At the end of
the hall there is a cosy and
character-filled
living and dining area where one can relax and read. On the opposite
side is
the kitchen which looks out onto the back private courtyard.
The back courtyard has sunbeds for
relaxing and a
table for
dining alfresco.
Alternatively one can go upstairs to the long pebbled
terrace with views of the rocky
hillside.
There
are no specific sea views. The house is in
a very private and isolated
location and yet is only five minutes easy walk from the main harbour. Walkers may also like to take advantage of
the fact that the Kataraktis is the ancient route up to the upper
village of
Chorio and is a good starting off point for many good walks while
avoiding
motor traffic.
