Drossos family originates from Santorini Island. It is
an old and big family with a farming background. Despite the hardships
of everyday life in these early years, the family maintained a god sense
of hospitality and had always seen visitors in a friendly way.
Ever since tourism began in Santorini, in the sixties, the members of
the family had seen it as a nice opportunity to meet interesting people
and learn from them as much as they could, while at the same time providing
them with accommodation. The first tourists the family ever hosted, actually
lived with them in a spare room of their house. An entire generation of
Drossos family has grown up ever since then, learning how to like other
people and cater for their needs. As a natural result of this, nearly
every family member now owns a hotel or villa, or other forms of accommodation.
However, things have changed. Tourism is now the most rapidly developing
industry on the island and this has lead to the gradual loss of the original
atmosphere the tourists and the locals could once enjoy.
