I am Eleni, mother of Stelios, who is now the owner of Villa Emerald and a topographical engineer. For many years I have worked in one of the largest travel agencies in our country. After my marriage to Giorgos, I worked exclusively in my husband's office, a civil engineer. The object of our work is the design, construction and sale of dwellings. We decided to build four stone-built, seaside residences with modern comforts but with traditional Greek architectural features in his father's home region. We loved this magical place so much that we did not agree to any of the tempting purchase proposals that were made to us. We preferred to keep the houses for us and our children and to share with you the light, the colors, the smells, the saltiness of the sea, the winds, the sounds, the flight of the birds ... I believe that when you return to your homes, you will not only have pleasant memories and beautiful photos, but your soul will be full of the warmth of Cretan hospitality and you will radiate it for a long time! This is the promise made by Xenios Zeus, God protector of hospitality, who our people loved for centuries before and still is present to this day.
