Single-family detached house Ν. Καβάλας, Θάσος, Θεολόγος, Theologos, Thasos

Built around 1934, this two-floor stone house was one of the legendary kafeneios (Greek traditional coffee houses) of Theologos. The village used to be the administrative centre of the island till the beginning of the 20th century and it’s located in the centre of the island (8km from the coastal settlement of Potos). Theologos is famous for its traditional architecture, proximity to nature, rich history and the unique spit roast lamb/goat that can be tasted in its taverns. The current conversion of the old kafeneio to a house started around 1986. The house now has a large open kitchen with a dining room and a sitting room in the lower floor that due to the unique high ceilings remains cool even in the hottest days, and two comfy bedrooms (a 2-single-bed bedroom and a 1-double-bed bedroom) and a desk area with view to the back garden and the mountains behind Theologos.
