The house pictured is where 70 years ago, all the Greeks, through the words of Ioannis Metaxa made the decision to resist the Italians and proclaimed their historical: “OXI” (“NO”) to the demands of Italy. The Italians by force demanded free entrance of their Italian army into Greece.
The two-story villa is located in the Athenian suburb Kifissia. It is the place where one of the most important meetings in the history of Greece was conducted. Even after so many decades, it remains virtually untouched. Its owners do everything to ensure that the OXI memories remain alive.
