Villa Aleka: A Traditional Apartment in the Heart of Chora
Perched in the amphitheatrically built village of Chora, Villa Aleka offers a spacious, self-catering apartment with sweeping views of the sea and the surrounding mountains of Samothraki. Set in one of the most beautiful and historically rich villages in the Aegean, it is an ideal base for travellers who want to immerse themselves in the authentic character of the island, with the cobbled lanes, medieval castle ruins, and traditional architecture of Chora right on their doorstep.
The property belongs to the same family behind the well-known Aleka's Studios in Therma, run by Alexandra (Aleka) Xatzistefanou. Villa Aleka is located in Chora, approximately 12 km from Therma and 5 km from the port of Kamariotissa.

Location: Chora, Samothraki's Most Atmospheric Village
Chora is built amphitheatrically on the foothills of Mount Saos, nestled among pine trees above the ruins of the medieval Gattiluzzi Castle (14th–15th century). Its narrow cobbled streets, traditional two-storey stone houses, and panoramic views make it one of the most distinctive villages in the Aegean. Villa Aleka sits right in the middle of it all.

Who Is Villa Aleka Best For?
Villa Aleka suits travellers who want to experience Samothraki from its most traditional angle — the historic hilltop village of Chora, rather than the beach resorts or thermal springs of Therma. With multiple bedroom configurations available, it works well for families or small groups who need space and a full kitchen. The central Chora location means you are steps from local tavernas, the Folklore Museum, and the best viewpoints on the island. Those planning to explore the island by car will find the free parking and central position especially convenient.
