House of the Captain Symi
The House of the Captain (To Spiti tou Kapetanaiou) on the island of Symi is a grand 19th-century neoclassical mansion perched along the historic Kali Strata stairway in Chorio. Built during Symi's golden era of sponge-diving and maritime commerce, the mansion carries a tragic lore of a lost sea captain, a waiting bride, and phantom footsteps pacing its marble balconies during stormy nights.
