Tzovenia The long road from Exoghi to Ag. Sarantas |
|
Tzovenia was born in Exoghi to the village priest, Papa Costa. Her story of love is famous around the northern parts, a love story that spanned 13 years of courting her late husband, Stratoyianni from Ag. Sarantas, a love story that entailed romance, not the slam, bam thank you ma'am she witnesses around her these days. Tzovenia recalls the 40's as a very romantic period on the island. The difficulties of a girl, not only from the top of the mountain, but also the daughter of the priest, falling in love with a boy from the valley, which in those days, was more than a stretch of bumpy road away, is quite a story for the grandchildren. |
