ur Hotel, an imposing, tall, 600 year old building, has gathered
a rich history over the passing of the centuries. During the days of Turkish Rule,
the building housed members of high ranking Turkish military who made many changes
to the building's architecture - a "Hamam" in the garden and next to that, a room
to secure their slaves (where you can still see the metallic rings nailed to the
walls). In the beginning of the 19th Century, the building was used as a French
embassy and later was inhabited by the great Greek political figure, Eleftherios
Venizelos, who also used it as his political offices until his move to Athens,
when he took power as Prime Minister of Greece. |
