         A briefly trip down memory lane

Villa Athina like its name contains a long history behind. Years ago, when holiday industry in Greece was in its early stages, the pioneers of Abram, the couple Aliberti, Efthimis and Athina were determined to start the family tradition in the realm of tourism. Their first step on this was the construction of a restaurant. Athina was a self-educated cook and she soon became known not only for her remarkable skills at cooking but also her resourcefulness to just make use of what was available that difficult times… At a remote destination like Abram used to be, she and her husband Efthimis provided special homemade dishes including ingredients/products entirely derived from their own vineyards, gardens, animals and certainly from the fishing.

In light of this, Panagiotis still works all the year on the fruitful land of Abram, so now everyone would have the chance to taste or take as souvenir something of our production that follows with love the family tradition since the late 60’s.

Therefore, our guests now have the unique opportunity to explore and purchase directly from our own production, enjoying the true essence of our land.

With the Villa Athina logo gracing each product, our wine, olives, olive oil, the jams, and locally sourced honey are now available to enhance your culinary experience or serve as the perfect gift.

A detailed list of these artisanal goods is available either on-site or in our restaurant, allowing every guest to take home a piece of Abram’s rich heritage and flavors.

Later on, one of their sons Panagiotis Alibertis along with his wife, and new notable cook Evangelia continued a part of the family business. More specifically they still run the family restaurant by the sea, which keeps the name of the honorable “father” of Abram, our grandfather “Efthimis”. Yet, they handling of our extended, prolific vines and gardens too. Also, because of his love and devotion to the area of Abram, Panagiotis decided to build -on his own- this property, Villa Athina which preserves the name of his beloved mother and currently his daughter, and continuator Athina.
