The House
Tucked into the tranquil bay of Nimborio (Nimborios) on Symi, Villa Kochili is a traditional two-storey cottage designed for travelers who want to be right by the sea, yet away from the bustle of the main port. Just steps from Gialas (Gyalá) Beach, the villa pairs front-row sea views with the scent of mountain herbs and the soothing soundtrack of waves—an easy place to slow down and reset.
Inside, the home is bright, airy, and comfortably furnished, offering one bedroom plus a living room with a sofa bed, making it a great fit for couples or a small family. Modern comforts include air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a practical kitchenette for simple meals. Guests consistently praise the well-equipped kitchen, uncluttered interiors, and how effortlessly the house works for everyday island living.
The real highlight is the outdoor space. Villa Kochili features a private courtyard, a sun terrace, and a shaded seating area—ideal for morning coffee, lazy reading afternoons, and sunset aperitifs under the pergola. There’s also bicycle parking, and the villa makes a convenient base for exploring Symi’s coves and viewpoints.
