Here, where the deep green of the orchard
blends harmoniously with the reddish-beige
of the stone... Here, where Nature's beauty
warmly embraces the traditional mansion of
an earthly master... Here at Kambos, Chios...
Here at the Mavrokordatiko.
The origin of the name "MAVROKORDATOS"
derives from the two great Byzantine families,
the Mavrous and the Gordatous, which became
Mavrogordatos and eventually Mavrokordatos.
The family members settled in Chios around
the year 1570 where they developed commercial
and economic ties with the Genovese.. |
