I found the following information regarding the eary days of San Stefanos as a holiday resort.I believe it helps on the Mousakatis theme.
The old Ag. Stefanos!
I remember it well. The first time I arrived in Ag. Stefanos was in 1967 and I stayed with my parents who had just bought the Villa Quietude with paraffin lamps and gas geysers. Ouzo cost 1 Drx and included a small meze.
The village in those days had buildings that could be counted on two hands. The original families resident here were the Mouzakitis family who's children were Manthos (Manthos Taverna), Nikos (Golden Beach) and Stefanos (Condor). Only the Golden beach in it's original form was built.
The second family Dino Mouzakitis had the Taverna Waves on the beach and it is run now by his son Angelos.
The Third family was Kefalinos. The sons Spiro (Fisherman), Michaelis (Helena Supermarket) and Nikos (Tsaros pool-bar).
The fourth family group was another Mouzakitis who's children were Vasillis (Margarita supermarket) and Leonidas (Leonidas villas) and their first cousin Dino (rent a car).
The last family was the Hoy family (farmer) who's son Nikos married an English girl and now lives in the UK.
Also working in the village was Vasillis Mouzakitis the father of Michaelis (coffee shop). He had a kiln and made bricks for the area from clay obtained from the further end of the beach. The kiln and brick making equipment was almost on the site of the present coffee shop.
