    We stayed for 4 days with our baby. The view is amazing, right by the sea. You wake up to the sea in the morning. You can’t swim directly in front of the place, but a bit further (a 5-10 minute walk) is the sandy beach of Karfas. The center is 6-7...

Company information

Plaka studios is a family business. All members after their studies worked in large companies in Greece for many years. Their love for hospitality found a place in this business combining their experience in customer service and being customers in hotels for many years. Since 1999, Kaiti Garagani has been the owner of the business and since 2022, Effie Garagani. Christos Garaganis is the one who had the idea and the implementation of the business and thus managed over time to either leave Athens or spend a long time in Chios.

Property information

The form of the building was based, after a study by the architect Kiki Karathanasi, on architectural elements of Chios tradition. For this reason, no room is the same as another. The total square footage was sacrificed in order to achieve a more aesthetic result. It was completed in 1999 and renovations are often carried out, with the aim of maintaining the building in good condition, due to its location in front of the sea.
