ABOUT US
Returning from germany
The family of Froni and Stelios has owned a charming café and an apartment complex for over four decades, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for their guests. The story of their business begins in 1973, when they returned to their hometown after working in Germany for four years. Froni and Stelios decided to invest their savings into their dream venture, establishing the café and later expanding it to include an apartment complex.
Froni and Stelios
Stelios, the grandfather of the family, has always been an integral part of the café’s operations. Known for his green thumb, he would bring freshly grown vegetables from his garden to enhance the flavors of the café’s dishes. Stelios was a familiar face to the customers, always willing to lend a helping hand or engage in friendly conversation.
The apartment complex, consisting of several cozy and well-maintained rooms, was built in 1982. Froni took charge of managing the accommodation side of the business, ensuring that the rooms were impeccably cleaned and guests felt at home during their stay. Her dedication and warm hospitality made her a beloved figure in the community, and guests often spoke highly of her.

The children
Giannis, a charismatic and experienced host, learned the ins and outs of the business from his parents. Fluent in German due to his frequent trips to Germany over eight years, Giannis expanded the café’s reach to international visitors. He also mastered English, enabling effective communication with a broader range of guests. Giannis’ wife, Vaso, joined him in the family business, further enhancing their ability to provide exceptional service. Together, they have four children who occasionally lend a hand around the café, creating a true family atmosphere.
Froni and Stelios were blessed with five children: four daughters and one son. Most of their children followed in their parents’ footsteps, finding their calling in the tourist industry. The daughters assisted in running the café, serving guests with a smile and offering their expertise in culinary delights. The son, Giannis, took over the responsibility of managing the bar two decades ago and gradually began overseeing the rooms as well for the past ten years.
Legacy and work ethic
The family takes great pride in their business and maintains a strong connection with their guests. As a gesture of gratitude, every Sunday, they host a small barbecue for their loyal customers. This tradition allows them to express their appreciation and fosters a sense of community among both guests and locals.
The family’s legacy of hard work, dedication, and genuine care for their guests has made their café and apartment complex a cherished destination. With their commitment to providing a welcoming environment and going the extra mile to assist guests, the family ensures that every visitor’s experience is memorable and delightful.
