Onar

A small heaven on earth

On the East side of Andros lies a rare and protected wetland. In this magical place where the river meets the sea we created 10 cottages exclusively with natural local materials. Our basic concern is the least possible intervention in the natural landscape and the creation of a hospitable settlement in absolute harmony with the environment. The cottages of Onar benefit from the silent beauty of Cycladic architecture.

They all have a sitting room, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, an open fireplace or stove and a paved courtyard sheltered by a pergola. Large windows allow the day light in, provide for coolness during summer nights and give the sense of being outdoors.

Onar in Greek means “dream” and to all of us this is a dream that has come true. It is in this dream that we invite our visitors to come and taste an alternate way of living and come close to nature.
