Fulfilling
a dream of owning property in their birthplace
Karlovasi, two Greek-Canadians, Diamantis
Foustanellas and his sister Athena's husband
Jim Psarras ventured into a partnership to
purchase land together in 1986. In 1988,
Diamantis and his Ottawa-born wife Toula moved
to the town of Karlovasi with their then two
young children Maria and Alex. Always a man of
adventure, Diamantis quickly started
construction on the property to build a new
business in tourism. So by 1989, the first
structure housing 23 studios and apartments
was already under way. The new operation
needed a name... the partners simply selected
the initial letters of their childrens' names
to form the word ANEMA. Thus the Anema
by-the-sea Hotel Apartments entity was
formally established.
