Restored 300-Year-Old Windmill House with Sea Views in Othos, Karpathos
Accommodation & Amenities

Historical Significance & Setting
This windmill is one of approximately 60 that stood on the island 300 years ago, offering a direct connection to Karpathos history. The house is surrounded by ruined windmills, adding to the unique landscape. Guests have a front-row seat for both sunrises and sunsets over the mountains and sea.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The Folklore Museum Karpathos is a 16-minute walk from the house, and the Folk Museum is 1.4 km away. Pigadia Port is 14 km from the property, and Karpathos Airport is 22 km away. The location in Othos is peaceful and authentic, with easy access to both the west and east coasts of the island.
Guest Experience & Practical Notes
A travel journalist and Lonely Planet author rated this one of the most unique places stayed in over 100 countries. Guests should note the wind is strong, the electrical load is low (oven and hot water cannot run simultaneously), and water scarcity is managed by the owner. A couple and a family each gave the stay a rating of 10/10.
Suitability & Recommendations
The property is suited for couples, solo travelers, and families with young children (a family with a 4-year-old stayed 12 nights). The host provides local recommendations for dining and exploring the island. The house is designed for guests seeking a historic, remote island living experience rather than standard hotel amenities.
