This is “plagiada”. There are two farming houses on a little over 8000 square meters of land, two kilometers on an unpaved road to the village. This is where I was born. In 2003 the houses were deserted and falling in ruins. The roofs were sagging, the rain was going thru, the walls were crumbling, the windows, or whatever was left of them were flapping open. I have decided to save them and retire here.

By 2004 the essential repairs were done and slowly I started moving here. I sent my furniture from Canada, I did the final touching and waiting for my wife to retire before moving here.
Unfortunately this never happened. I blame it on the austerity measures due to the economic situation in Greece and the high taxes I would have been paying as a resident there. So I am back in Canada and go to Greece every summer as a visitor.

Original floor done before 1900
I am thinking that probably will be a good idea to use the one house in exchange for holidays. We offer the house for the period we are there, usually May to the end of September in exchange for at least one bedroom with private bathroom, between the months of January and March, preferably near a beach in south America (Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina ou Uruguay).
What we offer: For the peace and tranquility lovers:
