The Theotoky family is one of the oldest families in Greece and the Estate has been in the Theotoky family for generations. John Theotoky, father of the current owner, George Theotoky, studied at the famous Universität für Bodenkultur (University for Agriculture) in Vienna and was deeply attached to the land. John devoted himself to politics after the tragic death of his brother who, as Minister of War, was executed in 1922 by the opposition, after the loss of the Asia Minor Campaign. He served three times as Minister of Agriculture and in 1950 (as his father had been before him) became Prime Minister of Greece.
