Aenos Hotel (Argostoli, Greece)
Aenos Hotel has its roots back to the 18th century. It was originally build in 1780 and served as a family mansion for permanent residence. It belonged to Count Metaxas, a family connected with important historical events of recent history of Greece. In 1941, during the Second World War, Mussolins forces occupied Cephalonia and AENOS HOTEL was turned to the officers' club. The catastrophic earthquake in 1953 destroyed most of the Ionian Islands. AENOS HOTEL was not only demolished but it caught on fire and all its precious furniture was totally burnt. In 1961, a small building with eight rooms on the first floor and some shops on the ground floor was constructed on the same site of the magnificent 18th century mansion, which was again rented as a Hotel.
