TRADITIONAL HOUSES:
Olympic Villas Traditional Houses. Here is a piece of information about the history
of this house, which we consider very useful for you to know in order to understand its use and
architecture.
These Houses are approximately 150 years old. For the people at that time it was much easier to
excavate the mountain than carry or buy the building materials (taking under consideration that
the main means of transportation was the donkey). The location of "Caldera" was
selected, because it was the cheapest part of the island since it could not be cultivated.
Moreover, the cave houses keep a fairly stable temperature throughout the year. The Traditional
Houses are hot during winter and cool during summer time.
The size was fitted to the needs of the resident family and limited by the natural obstacles
such as big rocks. When the children were about to start their own family they would either
build an additional room or if they had the space, they would build a new cave house next to
the old one. This is the way the entire village was constructed. Today the Caldera area is
protected by very strict building regulations in order to keep the traditional look and
architecture.
Traditional Houses can accommodate 2 to 4 persons. 9 of the Houses have one bedroom and 2 of
the houses have two bedrooms. All the Traditional Houses have bathroom, kitchen, private
terrace and view to Caldera. They are ideal for just married couples and people who want to
experience new things in their vacations.
Due to their location they are inconvenient for very old or handicap people.
