Our house’s history dates back to the Ottoman period. It was inhabited by our ancestors in the year 1922 during the Greek - Ottoman population exchanges. We tried hard to preserve the architecture of this beautiful building, the stories and unforgettable memories it carries on its thick stone walls.
You are welcome to wander around our front yard, patio and gardens. It’s a private area and safe for kids. In the flower garden and the small family field surrounding the house, you will find plants and old varieties of Mediterranean trees. We also continue to grow our own vegetables. We have our own small family production of vegetables, dairy products, eggs and meat.
From time to time we may pass by to take care of the small field, pick up vegetables and feed our few domesticated animals like chickens and rabbits. If you want, you can join us in this soul liberating procedure of working the field and being connected to nature. Upon season and availability you can try our fresh fruit & vegetables!
