About this property

Let Yourself Escape At Ikia's Traditional Houses

The Brown house (73 sq. m.) has one room on each floor. The ground floor has one large room with a double couch that converts into a double bed, a dining table and a kitchen bench, equipped with all the related appliances. WC with shower is on the ground floor. The first floor consists of one large room with a double and a single bed, a small balcony and a large veranda. Ikia Vacation Houses operate all year round as a self serviced lodgings and each house can accommodate up to 5 persons. Each house can be rented separately. Listed prices are per house. Built from stone and wood, by my great great grandfather and owned by my family for the past 100 years, the house will offer you the warmth, cosiness and tranquility that we all are longing for. The Old Village, where Ikia House was built, can be accessed either by a 10 minute car drive, or by a 30 minute walk up the old donkey track from the port of Patitiri. During the summer a bus goes on regular trips up and down the hill. The establishment is about 200m far from the car park at the old threshing floors (Palia Alonia) at the entrance of the Old Village. It can not be accessed directly by car, as is the case with many traditional houses in the Old Village. The last 50m must be covered on foot. It consists of two fully renovated two-floor houses The Green house has a double bed bedroom with a fireplace on the ground floor. On the first floor, one can find a multi-purpose room with a dinning table for four and a double bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and a small balcony. The Brown house has a ground floor multi-purpose room with a fully equipped kitchen, a dinning table for four, a couch (converted into a double bed), a fireplace and a bathroom with a shower. Finally, the first floor has a bedroom that consists of a double and a single bed with a small balcony and a veranda. Apart from the fully equipped kitchen, a hair dryer, an iron, a filter coffee machine and a kettle are available. The houses are equipped with Hunter ceiling fans. There is also a washing machine available upon request. However, you will not find a TV. Our purpose is for you to relax as much as possible and enjoy the tranquility of the place. Nevertheless, tranquility is not our sole asset. Looking downhill one can see the green hill that plunges into the beach of Megalos Mourtias. The uphill view is equally rewarding. Traditional houses, planted in a green landscape, is what you can enjoy not only in paintings but also from our balcony.

Hübsches Haus mit toller Aussicht, zentral gelegen
-Lage des Hauses: In der Altstadt Chora von Alonnisos sehr ruhig aber trotzdem zentral, mit toller Aussicht auf das Meer und die Altstadt, nur wenige Gehminuten zum Supermarkt, Bäcker, Bushaltestelle, vielen Restaurants und Zentralem Platz. Schöne Strände sind von dort auch fußläufig erreichbar, ca. 20 Minuten bergab. -Haus: Sehr gut ausgestattet mit moderner Küche und Waschmaschine, Deckenventilatoren, Kochgeschirr, Fliegengittern an Fenstern und Türen, um jederzeit gut lüften zu können, sehr sauber und stilvoll eingerichtet. Liebevolle Details entsprechend dem Baustil und alter des Hauses. Schöne Terrasse mit guten Möbeln und einem traumhaften Ausblick, unser Lieblingsplatz für Mahlzeiten und Klönen!!! Gute Betten mit bequemen, neuen Matratzen. -Gastgeber: George war absolut nett und hilfsbereit und hat uns viele sehr gute Tips für unseren Aufenthalt gegeben. Auch um den Transfer vom und zum Hafen hat er sich gekümmert und uns abgeholt. Wir waren wirklich seine Gäste und konnten die griechische Gastfreundschaft erleben, at its best!!!! Wir werden sehr sehr gerne wiederkommen!!!! Nutzerprofil von Laura Laura

A beautiful and relaxing experience!
The Brown House is lovely, very clean and well appointed. We loved the terrace on the upper floor. Breakfast and dinner there were wonderful experiences and the views of the sea and Chora were excellent. The rooms were spacious and very well (and tastefully) furnished. The owner was extremely helpful and kind, always willing to offer good tips and make our stay easy. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely come back.

A lovely quiet and comfortable home from home
My children rated our recent holiday as 1001% brilliant, and yes they do understand percentages.. ! I would say the same, altogether it was impossibly lovely and all that i could have i hoped for. The house was perfect for us, modest and clean with everything that one could need, beautifully situated on the edge of the old village, on the hill above the port. The views are great, the breezes welcome, you can take or leave the hustle and bustle of the village centre, it's lovely to wander the small pedestrian streets and alleyways. George and his family made us feel very welcome and were so kind and helpful throughout with our queries about beaches, travel, hiring a car. .. anything. It was good to have the car and it allowed us to explore the island; its too hot to walk far in summer though we did manage 25 mins down to the nearest beach, harder coming back up but perfectly possible ! The island is unspoilt, not over -touristy, even on the busyiest beaches and the sea - ?-just amazing, clean and sparkling. There is a feeling of the authentic, essential Greece here, with Greek hospitality that was really special and I am sure we will return. I don't hesitate to recommend a stay here.

About the host

Hosted by George Tsoukanas

Host profile image
I was born in Athens, however I grew up in a smaller town called Halkida. I returned to Athens for studies and work later on. After 23 years of work and looking for a simpler and less stressful way of living, I resigned from my job as a bank branch manager and decided to start a new life in my place of origin.

Why they chose this property

This island has a unique combination of beautiful beaches and forests that reach the seaside. It is a place one can fall in love with. As when in love, your senses sharpen, you see, smell and hear as never before. Furthermore, this property belongs to my family for four generations.

What makes this property unique

In Ikia one can find out how houses were built on this island 100 years ago, but without giving up modern facilities.
