Skopelos 9 - Skopelos Homes




Homes in greece are passed down from generation to generation, and people live with their parents in their old age. Yia-yia (grandma) lives with her grown children and helps with the cooking and taking care of her grandchildren. This house was Vasili's parents' (and the view from the balcony). It seems to be that property passes down through the sons, although the daughter-in-laws carry on the family knowledge they learn while living with their mother-in-laws.



There is marble everywhere in greece, sidewalks, curbs, staircases, and home floors. These tiles are all from different rooms in Alexandra's house (and there were even more!).
