Margarita Hotel in Chora, Kythira

The Hotel Margarita is a typical patrician house, like the other patrician houses situated on the main street of Chora and around the Kastro (Castle). In 1922, the house became the seat of the Diocese of Kythira and Antikythira, and later on a branch of the National Bank of Greece. The Staïs family eventually sold this elegant home. In 1990, after a complete renovation, the house was turned into the Margarita Hotel.

Built in the heart of Chora, the capital of the island, the Hotel Margarita is situated in a delightful labyrinth of flowery alleys. The hotel's imposing size contrasts with the village's small white houses. Its clean lines, white walls and blue windows exude charm and serenity. The Margarita Hotel has 12 rooms divided between the ground floor and the first floor. The hotel has kept a simple, warm and elegant style. The hotel rooms are the old rooms of the house. The uniqueness of each hotel room lies in the fact that they all differ in size, design and orientation.
