Irene
I love nature, traveling around the world and meeting new people and cultures. I also love my village Olympos where I restored an old family house, that I called Irene's House.
Olympos is an amazing village that makes the visitor travel back in the old times. You will be touched by the old houses of the village, many of them well preserved, the numerous chapels that belong to local families, the women of the village that still wear the local traditional clothes and shoes (kavai, poukamisa, stivania, etc), the old ovens where the bread of the local families is still baked by local women in every neighbourhood, and finally the local music still played by the men of the village in the local coffee shops or kafeneia. Moreover, Olympos is a place of astounding natural beauty, with an amazing view to the Aegean sea and an unforgettable sunset every day of the year.
