Originally built in 1891 during the island’s era of prosperity by our ancestors, the house is now completely renovated retaining the elegant lines of the local architecture and its harmonious palette of ochre, terracotta and pastel blue. The house is equipped with all the facilities for self-catering accommodation and modern in-room amenities. While modern it is still traditional as its interior decoration features elements & items of our grandmother Asterope and our grandfather Giannis, just to give you a sense of the simplicity of past everyday life.
On opening the over a hundred years old wooden door, you immediately sense the welcoming warmth of the house. Upon entering into the large living room you can fully enjoy the endless views of Symi harbour through its large windows and two balconies “floating over the sea”. The spectacular views of the Aegean, one of the best features of the house, can also be enjoyed from the 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with bunk beds. The newly built-in kitchen is fully equipped providing the opportunity of preparing a meal while getting a glimpse of the amazing Aegean blue through the kitchen window & balcony.
The Asterope House is at the same time so close and so far from the busy area of Symi harbour (Gialos). Located at a central part of the harbour, the Pytini neighbourhood which is a peaceful and buzz-free area, is not more than a 5 minutes walk from all the bars, restaurants, supermarkets and taxi boats.
Pytini neighbourhood is a quiet area of the harbour of Symi, only 5 minutes away from all the bars, restaurants, supermarkets and taxi boats. The location of the Asterope House is ideal as it is only 40 steps above the sea road providing endless views of Symi and the Aegean Sea. Imagine blending ease and beauty by relaxing on the verandas enjoying the morning sun as it shines upon the beautiful colours of the Symian houses or by enjoying the evening breeze as you watch the yachts and fishing boats enter the harbour.
