LYCIPONON story
LYCIPONON Meaning
LYCIPONON (Ancient Greek)
Etymology: “Loosen” + “Ache from labor = Fatigue”.
Meaning: “That, which relieves from the ache of labor”
The Villa that was built and is still maintained with love and care by the Owner who realized his dreams, the destiny of his travels, is now being offered so as to feel its magical healing powers, its power to give you relief from pain and anxiety.
In the summer of 1990, the Owner went on his first sailing holiday to the Ionian islands where he came across the magnificent loch, Ithaca, Polis Bay. Mesmerized by the breathtaking view and Odysseus’s story related to the lonely bay, captivated the Owner so much, that on each trip henceforth, he would sail by as the sea itself offers magical moments and scenery that are forever engraved into your mind, the Owner could never forget and was always drawn to that tiny old white house, with its blue doors and windows, that stood on the quay of Polis Bay. LYCIPONON (ΛΥΣΙΠΟΝΟΝ) was its name, proudly written above its blue door.
Destiny it was. On one of his travels, suffering from a rare headache as he was not prone to having them, the Owner was in dire need of medication. They thus stopped at Polis Bay and found relief from the hospitable German inhabitants of that little white house. LYCIPONON–the relief of pain; the message was clear, the signs were everywhere, the Owner had found his calling.
Since 1994, when he had first built his log chalet on Mount Parnassos, the Owner had made it his new professional endeavor and built numerous other such homes. Yet, there was a longing deep within, an unsatisfied need. 1999, the year it all came together. The Owner purchased a nine-acre plot on a downhill slope in Anavyssos. He knew that this is where he would build his LYCIPONON, his beacon lighthouse that would offer a station of serenity.
Being a perfectionist by nature and desiring to make his dream a reality, he utilized his expertise to create a villa that would offer all that his heart longed for: a spacious, unobstructed home that would encompass a tennis court, for pleasure, and a welcoming swimming pool that would offer an infinite view of the hypnotic sea.
LYCIPONON might never enter a piece of art contest because it knows it might not win. It would gladly enter though in a piece of heart contest because it knows it’s the favorite.
