Title

Philoxenia Ganossis, Hotel, Apartments, Rooms & Studios, Restaurant in Ermioni, Peloponnese, Greece

Description

The GANOSSIS Family have been looking after visitors to Ermioni since 1918 and continue today with the same friendly service. Philoxenia Ganossis consists of two studio complexes. The first is located on the seafront next to a pine forest and the other is in the center of town, behind the Ganossis Restaurant, 50 metres from the sea front.

It all started back in 1990 when Georgios Ganossis, a young boy from Kimi, a small village in Evia, set off to seek his fortune. He arrived and settled in Ermioni where he was to spend the rest of his life. He was given work in the kitchen of a large house, where it was there that Georgios first learned to cook. An unforgettable moment was when he prepared a meal for Eleftherio Benizelos, a guest at the house.

Eighteen years later in 1918, he built the Ganossis taverna and offered hotel rooms above, the first one in the area offering hospitality to merchants, travelers and visitors. The taverna soon became the focal point of the "Limani" (port) and it was much more than a taverna. It was a meeting point, an informative spot for visitors, a resting point, and a place to rest and have a coffee.
