The house where the movie was filmed in 1957 still exists in Kypseli
“Aunt from Chicago” with the unforgettable Georgia Vassiliadou is one of the classic, beloved black and white Greek films, with scenes and lines that will give you a laugh no matter how many times you watch them.
In the film, Aunt Calliope arrives from Chicago to Athens and finds grooms for her nieces by throwing clay jugs – “siloflauda” – from the balcony of her brother’s family’s house.
“Let me Charilae, let me! Pleeeease!”
The house where the movie was shot in 1957 still stands today.
It is located in Kypseli and is a renovated two-story neoclassical building, at the junction of Spetses and Kastalia streets.
On Spetson Street is the main entrance of the house and on Kastalias Street is the small balcony where the aunt came out to supervise the traffic and throw the jug at the feet of the unsuspecting grooms.
There is also a second, less popular version, which wants the house where the film was shot to be in Kolonaki, specifically on Xanthippou Street. According to this version, however, the house no longer exists.
