At Magazia coastal area in Skyros island, we step inside the home of Ms Marianna Papathanasiou, a Skyrian local. This house used to be a wine press in the olden days. Its traditional elements and architecture has been beautifully preserved throughout the years, celebrating its unique interior design and décor.
A built-in narrow staircase leads up to the sfa, an attic made of wood, which created a second level in the building. When in need of a break, the workers would rest on this attic.
This second level is now used as a bedroom and storage space.
“They had a big barrel, I remember it, they were calling it ‘karouta’ and they had it at the back, and there they would do the wine pressing.”
The Gavatha bowl, matching the shades of the Skyrian home, from which its colors were originally inspired by. Only a breath away from the sea . . gazing
