This room has on one side the kitchen itself, and on the other, around a cast-iron wood stove for cooler days, the dining area, arranged like an old “taverna”, with various square tables, and a couple of suttees.
The kitchen building separates the property in two. On one side, only the swimming pool (14 x 3 meters) in an olive grove. On the other, two separate building host, respectively, the living room (with guest toilets and shower), and four bedrooms with their en-suite bathrooms.

“Fanariotatika House” is named after the village close bye. The house belonged to a branch of the Fanariotis family, whose “Parachuklis” was “tou Kodou”. The original building was a charming “apothiki”, that was kept in its original shape. The rest of the property was built around it, enclosing it with a surrounding stone wall. Fanariotatica sleeps comfortably 8 guests, with considerable independence for all. Every bedroom door opens directly outside; in particular, the first two bedrooms share a small, secluded garden, planted with a larger Pomegranate and lemon trees.
The living room is now at the centre of the built-up area, with openings on three sides for ventilation. A covered terrace opposite the living room is now at the centre of the daily life. The large kitchen is also furnished like a living room; it allows entertaining space for different generations, while others rest In the more private parts.
The swimming pool, separated by a gate, is well removed form the bedrooms and living room; it has its own enclosed garden, that provides privacy for all involved.
