OUR STORY

Our family is from the Peloponnese, Lesvos and Anatolia. Emigrating in the early 20th century to escape ethnic cleansing, genocide and economic instability, our relatives sought opportunity in America.

The first generation never made it back to Greece, but they were part of a strong community of Greek Americans who built Orthodox Churches, AHEPA and Philoptochos chapters that kept the culture alive and protected from anti-immigrant oppression.

By the beginning of the 21st century only a few family members had ventured back to Greece. After the pandemic we made a visit and fell in love with the essence, people, culture, land and sea... where the Hellenic spirit began.

Our mission is to continue sharing the light of our heritage with as many people as we can for generations to come!!
