Mikes Grigoriadis
The fountain is a starting point for Mikes Grigoriadis’s story and memories of carrying water home. The testimony concerns the village water supply, not the construction date of this particular fountain.
In a 2020 Istorima interview, Evangelia Misailidou recounts his funding of the village water supply and public taps. She remembers women waiting with water jugs. This oral testimony gives the gift a human scale: the daily routines of households, and an essential resource made easier to reach.

Pair this stop with the story of Mikes Grigoriadis and the recorded recollections of collecting water in the village. Those accounts describe the wider water-supply story; they do not establish a construction date for this particular fountain.
Treat it as a heritage stop. A map category is not confirmation that water is running or drinkable; bring your own drinking water.
Water, work and everyday life
Two things to notice
Look at the form of the fountain and any surviving inscription. Keep what you can see separate from dates or stories that need a source.
Read the linked account of household water collection. Imagine the journeys between a shared water point and the village homes.
Can I refill my bottle here?
Do not rely on it as a refill point. Current operation and drinking-water suitability have not been confirmed; carry water for your walk.
Small distances. Many stories.
Choose architecture, churches or people’s stories. Each place offers a story to read and a detail to notice when you visit.
