First Residence

The first house used to be an old warehouse, which dates back over 100 years. It is an area of 60 sq.m. and can accommodate 2 people in its double bedroom, making ideal for couples. The room is built on a rock which is visible on the floor and the walls, as well as on the open fireplace. The room is also equipped with a siting and a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen. For the kitchen table an old “volosyros” was used (a tool used in agriculture for crushing the wheat or barley in the threshing floor and it was pulled by a horse or an ox) and the area in general is decorated with various old objects used by the people of the village many years ago, for their daily needs, such as earthenware jars to store oil or vinegar, a sieve for flour, a “volista” for peas, a “thrinaki” for wheat, a shovel for baking bread, oil lamps etc. Finally, a bathroom with shower can be found in this house.
