Step back in time with a modern twist at Telegraphus Boutique Home, the site of the island’s first telegram office and telephone center, built in 1823 and beautifully restored for modern authentic island living.
Telegraphus Boutique Home, a distinguished building erected in 1823, stands as a testament to the island’s communication evolution, hosting both the first telegram office and the inaugural telephone connection. This historic site has been thoughtfully restored in 2024 to blend its significant past with contemporary comforts, ensuring a stay that is both enriching and comfortable.
The home features two bedrooms, one living room, a kitchen, and one bathroom, where the charm of yesteryears meets the ease of modern design. Large windows illuminate the spaces with natural light, highlighting the original features and craftsmanship of the building.
The living room is equipped with an extra sofa bed.
Telegraphus Boutique Home is located in the iconic Plakes area, only a heartbeat away from the famous Old Port and Papadiamantis Street, as well as some of the most sophisticated restaurants, tavernas, bars, and boutiques of the island.
Access to the property is exclusively pedestrian. Convenient parking is available at the Acropolis area, merely a five-minute stroll away.
Please note, due to the historical nature of the building and its layout, the property may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations.
Given its prime location near the town center and next to a vibrant local restaurant, Telegraphus Boutique Home is ideal for guests eager to immerse themselves in authentic island life rather than those seeking quiet retreats.
Due to the historical significance of Telegraphus Boutique Home, which is regularly reviewed by the Antiquities Commission of Thessalia, we kindly ask our guests to take special care during their stay to preserve the integrity and beauty of this landmark property.
