Mouria’ (= mulberry tree), built with stones circa 1800, was named after the area where it is located; it expands into three different levels. With the atmosphere of its main salla intact (including its central arch and two pataro’s used for sleeping), it is widely acclaimed to be one of the best preserved traditional houses of Koskinou. All the house’s internal structures are made of hand crafted wood. Wherever possible, traditional material and ways of building were used; an exception to that are its modern electric wiring, kitchen and bathroom water connections, and sewage.

Kitchen: Spacious, with a wooden beamed ceiling. Located on the ground floor, overlooks the courtyard.

1st bathroom: Basin, shower, WC. Located on the ground floor.

2nd bathroom: Basin, shower, WC. Located on the ground floor.

Main salla: An excellent and representative piece of traditional Koskinou architecture. It has a floor covered with a finely preserved artistic decoration of kohla’ki (= black-and-white pebbles). It has a ground floor area of 40 square meters, plus an upper level of 10 square meters. Its central arch stands under a 5 meter (16 feet) high wooden beamed ceiling. Well aired, it is harmoniously connected with the court yard of the house.
Although the house was originally built circa 1800, an inscription shows that its floor was actually covered with kohla’ki as late as 1894. It was only around that time that some house owners of the village could afford to cover their sandy floors with little stones that were gathered from the beaches of the island.
Its ground level is used as living room and dining room.
Its upper level consists of two pataro’s (= wooden traditional Koskinou platform bed), which are set at different levels and are accessed by individual staircases. Each one of them sleeps two persons.

Bedroom: Double bed. Its windows are a strong source of natural daylight; they also allow a cooling breeze to flow into the room. Located on the first floor.

Court Yard: A very cosy area of 10 square meters. Partly covered by a grape vine, it has a floor decorated with beautifully preserved kohla’ki. Popular for sitting and relaxation.
