The house is about ten years old and was owned until 2009 by Sue and Jenny's brother, Emlyn Thomas. Emlyn travelled the world and collected art, memories and curios wherever he went. The house reflects his interests and contains many signed posters from celebrities and sportsmen he encountered like Madonna, Muhammad Ali, Neil Diamond and U2, together with interesting books and music.
Emlyn loved Crete and settled in Kokkino Chorio as the ideal location to explore the beaches, mountain walks and hidden tavernas of the island.
