His country house that was owned by Yannis Zouganelis and Isidora Sideri to Barnabas it no longer exists.

The big one fire which burned for two days Northeastern Attica completely destroyed it. Giannis Zouganelis himself speaking to On Time newspaper said:

“I am shocked. It was a nice detached house with a garden drowned in trees. It was completely burned from the first moment the fire broke out, but I found out yesterday because it was not accessible. My paradise is going, here where Eleonora used to come and was our retreat.”

And he continued: “I had everything inside. An organized house that I built with the efforts of a lifetime. It also had musical instruments, family photos, all things loved that turned to ashes. I also had a painting of great financial and emotional value, a work by Fotis Kontoglou, which I had left here because I thought it was protected. It also turned to ashes along with everything else.”

And concluding he emphasized: “It was a wonderful sanctuary in the green and now you only see blackness and falls. I am not grieved for my own loss, but I feel sorrow for the losses of men who have struggled some from their want and some from their surplus to do something, and have seen it destroyed in a moment.

I am saddened by the way the Greek people are treated because those in power have never protected them. And what I can’t forgive is how they let the fire into the urban fabric. It’s a shame. I don’t see it personally. I feel sorry for everyone who lost their homes. Grieve. I’m shocked.”
