History

On top of this very hill the Ancient ruler of the island, built a monument dedicated to his Queen to show his power and prove his love and devotion to her. (Mycenaean period 1600-1200 bc. To honor this Queen (whom the name remains unknown) we named the Hotel "Tharroe of Mykonos". The name derives from the Greek verb Θαρρώ ( prnd: Tharro) meaning 'I presume / I believe', accompanied by the feminine article η ( prnd: e) .Tharroe then is 'the one that is believed to have lived here', the presumed Queen. The monument stays under the protection of both the Greek Ministry of Culture and the Hotel and at the moment is covered with a simple metal cover (not yet officially open to the public).

Many years later the English Admiralty marked the big rock on the top of this hill on its naval maps, as a reference point of entry to the port of Mykonos. It was this very rock that the notorious pirate Hairedin Barbarossa used as his observatory. To keep alive the history of this hill, we named our Restaurant, 'Barbarossa'."
