The house
COCO-MATRestored miner residences
Thirteen stone cottages built for iron miners now stand as bioclimatic apartments stepping down to the sand.
“Its 13 rooms were reclaimed from stone miners’ houses built in 1910 at the foot of a hillside, just steps from the sand and calm waters of Vagia Bay.”
What it’s good at

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
It’s made from a cluster of miners’ houses that date back to 1910, overlooking an idyllic beach and a protected bay.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Vagia Beach sits directly below the residences, with calm waters and a quiet bay far from the port.
The rooms
Split-level layouts keep bedrooms naturally cool on the ground floor, and upper living spaces open to sea-facing terraces.
Restaurant
Lounge Bar
The shaded stone terrace looks out over the bay, with Greek pies for breakfast and dinner tables beside the water.
How it began
The stone compound housed local iron miners and their families in 1910 before its 2011 restoration.
