THE OKUPA STORY

As with all unconventional ideas, OKUPA started with a strong desire shared by a few people: We felt it in our gut to create a space that breaks the usual social barriers, where people from all walks of life come together under one roof.

Our interpretation of the Spanish word “ocupar” (to occupy) therefore stands for the reinvention of spaces: behind even the smallest of our decisions lies our mission to connect communities across borders and build a bridge between locals and travellers. 

AN ARTISANAL APPROACH TO HOSPITALITY

Each and every detail of the space reflects and incarnates the identity of the collective behind OKUPA. Furniture in the common areas has been carefully sourced from vintage markets with an eye for mid-century designs and space age collector pieces. Vinyls and books populating the libraries have already told their stories a thousand times, while the items in the gift shop showcase the vibrancy of the Greek independent designers industry.

THE HUB FOR THE MODERN TRAVELER

OKUPA is the cornerstone of the growing creative community of Athens, where local cultural powerhouses showcase their talent, premiere movies, spin funky tunes and create new stories together.
