In 1998 I visited the island of Alonissos for the first time with my friend Martina and eight years later we were lucky enough to stay in one of the charming houses of „Alonissos Homes“ for the first time.
This stay left such beautiful impressions that we decided to spend our holidays in Alonissos every year from now on and it became a cherished tradition to stay in a different house each time, because each one has its own charm.
While Martina delves into books, I decided to capture the beauty and charm of the houses and the entire island on paper. Drawing allows me to capture the special atmosphere and charisma that characterizes Alonissos.
One day Olyvia also had the opportunity to see my drawings - and that's how everything started. The connection between my art and her hospitality was created, and since then our relationship with Alonissos and the houses of Olyvia has developed into a story that we enjoy continuing to write and draw.
