a few words about THE SCHOOL
The school was built in 1903 by donation of the national benefactor Andreas Syggros who was a banker and politician. It operated until 1977, when the last lesson took place. The school had a total of six classes which were taught by only one teacher, with three classes being taught during the day and another three in the evening. With a total of 160 children, Vassilis Papavasileiou had alone undertaken the strenuous task to educate Alonissos’s youth during the pre-war times.
