ARP’s Agia Kyriaki Beach House – A Cycladic Dialogue with the Sea

Perched beside the Byzantine Church of Agia Kyriaki on Antiparos, the Beach House in Agia Kyriaki—masterfully restored by ARP—is a poetic convergence of Cycladic heritage and seaside serenity. The original 1980s footprint remains untouched, honoring strict archaeological preservation rules and maintaining harmony with the landscape . Nestled among ceramic relics, the interiors are clad in time-worn ceramic floor tiles evoking both local tradition and fragments unearthed onsite, while Naxian marble accents and pressed‑wood openings—scaled intuitively for modern comfort—deliver understated coastal elegance . The simple layout—two bedrooms, kitchen, three baths—and the central semi-open living space frame gentle sea breezes and shaded respite for post-swim gatherings. Movable white shutters lend flexibility to the sunny afternoons. Outdoors, minimal interventions—a vegetable patch and casual soccer pitch—respect the untamed beach setting while inviting family life. This is a Cycladic retreat reimagined: quiet, authentic, intimately connected to salt air and sunlit horizons.
