About
Diamantis and Toula Foustanellas and their
Hotel.
 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.
In spite of
the consistent growth and development of the
business, it still remains a family-run
operation occupying mostly local staff. Today
there are 55 studios and apartments,
reception, traditional tavern, fine dining
restaurant, pool, pool bar, snack bar, cafe,
playground and tennis to better accomodate
their guests. Anema's most recent endevour is
the construction of a wood-burning oven which
adds a perfect touch to the homemade recipes
served at the traditional tavern.
Anema
by-the sea Hotel Apartments enjoys a plethora
of clientele from all parts of Europe and
Greece. Through the years, valuable experience
has been gained from working with visitors
from different cultures. The fact is, the
natural beauty of the island is what the
guests appreciate the most and they value
their exceptional discoveries on Samos island.
This was an incentive for Anema to broaden to
the special interest tourism market to include
adventure travelers, small walking groups
etc. Anema is committed to sharing yet
preserving the island's natural and cultural
heritage.
Essential
aims of the company include protecting the
environment, supporting the local economy,
conserving energy and limiting wastes. We
economize on electric power with the use of
solar energy, natural fuels, energy efficient
lighting etc. Measures are also taken for
water-efficiency. Well-water is used for
gardening and other appropriate uses. Local
goods, environmentally friendly & recycled
products are preferred. Any excess produce
from the kitchen feeds the turtles in the
sanctuary as well as other local
animals.
The Anema
staff are devoted their guests΄ satisfaction
and incorporate a personal touch to their
services.
