THE HISTORY
The first state-of-the-art carob processing plant in Crete, unique in it's kind, the Haroupoergospasio, opened and remained in operation for twenty years.
The imposing stone building cost 95.000 Drachmas, a huge sum at the time. It operated between August and March between 06:00 22:00 and it featured 20-horse Diesel engines (the carob breaker is still there), employing 10 workers and having a capacity of 8-9 tons of carob processing per 8 hours. It manufactured three by-products, some for local consumption, though most were exported by ship across Europe. These are some of the facts that made the carob processing plant a trademark industry and the commercial nexus of Elounda. In the following years the space of the plant was used to install honing machinery and to store salt from the salt marshes, two more typical products of Elounda.

70 years later, in the same space, with respect to the carob processing plant, sitting against the background of the calm waters of the bay and enjoying an amazing view of Spinalonga and the rest of the island, has been converted into a one-of-a-kind live music restaurant that offers its customers treats from across Greece, unique quality delicacies, fresh fish, seafood as well as fine wines and drinks.
