"Pepa's House": the History:
The ‘Journey’ of Pepa’s House, goes a long way back in the History of
the Town of Neos Marmaras Itself …actually in its Birth.
It was initially built as an Immigrant’s House in 1926 -offered by the
State as a ‘minor compensation’ for the properties the first ones had been
forced to abandon in the Island of Marmaras in Minor Asia-. In early 1960’s, the property passes to my mother’s hands and our family
decides to take down the old building and slowly slowly begins the construction
of a store and a two storied house.
Around the same time, the famous Ship Owner Ioannis Carras, while at a
leisure sea trip with friends around Agion Oros, finds himself in the Sithonian
Costal Line and makes a small stop in Neos Marmaras. And he instantly falls In Love
with It! He There and Then decides to Come Back…and Make History!
After the necessary negotiations with the State and owners of the
properties of the area, he arrives in Neos Marmaras in 1965 and he starts the construction
of one of the most Famous Resorts in Greece and Balkan’s … Porto Carras Grand Resort.
Needing a place to settle down and use as headquarter for him, and his architects
until the project is completed, he rents the entire building, and uses it for over 12 years in total! He used the already existing store and the first floor as offices for the
Architectural Designing. He decided to personally
take over the completion of the second floor of the building (now Pepa’s House),
as he wanted to make it his Own Home.
The place that, at the time, offered him one of the best views to his own…Dream
Under Construction! :).
For over 12 years, Designers, Architects, Constructers and Famous Artists
and Friends of Ioannis Carras were going up and down the stairs. Bargains,
Agreements and Decisions, but also Happy Relaxed Times with Ouzo and Mezedes were
in the every day Agenda. Mom has countless stories to tell, about his
simplicity and spirit as a person, and how he cherished small, everyday day
things and traditions.
In 1977, Porto Carras Grand Resort was Finally Completed, and the
building returned to the hands of my family, and has been operating as a touristic
accommodation ever since.
Being amongst the First Accommodation Facilities for Tourists in Neos
Marmaras, numerous people have spent their vacations with us. Customers that later
became friends, people that came as students, and came back later as couples
with their children. Countless happy memories and stories…of people that met
Neos Marmaras, having Mrs. Litsa and Mr. Kostas (mom and dad:) as their hosts.
In all these years, the rooms and the building itself have undergone a
number of changes, renovations and redecorations, in order to become more
efficient for our clients.
My parents had been running the business for over 30 years, when in 2011
they decided to go on pension, and the business met its new owner! ME! (Pepa:) .
Trying to bring a ‘new spirit’ to the business, a partial renovation and
redecoration took place, as well as a change of Name.
Apart from the personal ‘touch’ in every corner, with Handmade paintings
and artifacts (can be seen within the Blog), the lowering of prices, and the effort
to ensure special prices and discounts for our customers within Neos Marmaras’ businesses,
“Pepa’s House” has now got a new Identity, but the same Goal as the previous
Management:).
Try to accommodate you the best way possible, in the best possible
price, and help you throughout your stay in our Beautiful Village, so as to
make your Vacations with us…Memorable. :) :) :)
Hope you Enjoy Your Stay With Us … ♥
