This charming two-story heritage home (138m²) sits on a 183m² plot in the protected historic area of Kato Chora, Kythira, just steps from the Venetian castle entrance. Built in the late 16th century and expertly restored in 1995, it combines historical significance with modern comforts.
The property features separate entrances and yards for each floor, connected by an internal staircase, and boasts three terraces with stunning views. The ground floor (85m²) includes a kitchen/living room, bedroom, bathroom, storage room with washing machine, and hallway. The first floor (53m²) offers a spacious living room/bedroom and master bedroom, where the closet could easily be converted into a small WC.
The home’s historical significance is highlighted by the exceptionally preserved traditional “kamara” bedroom on the ground floor, dating back to shortly after the castle’s 1565 construction. A unique historical feature includes escape stairs leading to the castle, built for protection during pirate attacks.
Kato Chora, part of Mylopotamos village, was strategically established in western Kythira for its defensive position—nestled in the hills yet maintaining sea views, providing sanctuary from pirate raids.
