The Mill house stands as one the tallest buildings of the Byzantine settlement of Chora, second only to  the 11th century Monastery which dominates the village.

The first official record where the house is mentioned is a contract dated to 1785; it is there where it is mentioned as “the mill house”. Since that time, the house changed many hands. In 1930 it was finally bought by a family of Greek refugees that came from Smyrna – Turkey’s Izmir.

In 1997 a large scale restoration was initiated. The house took its definitive form  in 2004, as a property sleeping 7 people, and is now one of the most distinguished stone properties of Chora.

The lemon tree terrace, adjacent to the large traditional kitchen with the wooden beamed roof, has a large table and in-built benches with cushions, where you can dine alfresco. The top terrace of the house offers a 360 degree breathtaking view of the village of Chora and the Aegean islands. From this rooftop terrace you can almost touch the walls of the Monastery of St. John!
