Skiathitiko Spiti

"Skiathitiko Spiti" is a private initiative aimed at preserving and highlighting the traditional way of life of the last century in Skiathos. The house has as its exhibit itself, accompanied by the relics of four generations.
This is an experience that became a project. Ever since my sister and I were born, we live among memories and stories of our ancestors. In preservation of memory, of course, contributed to the fact that
we grew up in the mansion of our family, where our ancestors lived, and which was bequeathed from generation to generation along with the objects that exist in it. Each generation retained the objects of the previous one as a sign of respect.
Today, this patchwork of memories, stories and relics of four generations is an experience and part of our identity. So, six years ago we made the decision to "open" our house to the visitors, creating an “open house” in Chora of Skiathos.
The scientific fields of our studies were important tools for organizing our archive and heirlooms as well. The aim was to combine scientific documentation with our roots and experience. Being an architect (Marena) and a kindergarten teacher (Fotini), enrich with our knowledge the narration of the story of our family, and consequently of the island of Skiathos.
