Hello, I am Mariza and I live eight months in Molivos with my family, the place of my origin, as my family has been living in Molyvos since 17th century.
When my grandfather built a new house, in 1926 in order to host his family, after his marriage, he never had in mind that this house will be passed down through the generations and will be a friendly guesthouse.
Over many years now our house in MOLIVOS village, in LESVOS island is a vacation home for numerous guests from all over the world.
The Story of the House: V. Molova is part (the half) of a large home built in 1926 by Ioannis Krallis after his wedding to Maritsa Kalligeris, to house their family. The premature death of Ioannis in 1932, following by the birth of two sons, led Maritsa back to her family, in the village of Sykamnia. In the next 50 years the house was occupied by the Germans (WW II), guerillas, the army, refugees and earthquake victims. The entire house was first time restored to its original condition in 1987 and was divided, from Ioannis' sons - Nikolaos and Stratis - between the two families.
Liana (Nikolaos' wife) and their children Mariza and Ioannis, after the sudden loss of Nikolaos in 1988, started hosting guests from all over the world, many returning year after year, turning V. Molova, into a vacation and relaxing home for numerous guests, for decades now.
