Taverna tou Veletakou: The Old Miner and the Sea

The geography of Lavrion, a seaside town located in southeast Attica, about a 45-minute drive from downtown Athens, has played a big role in shaping its population.

The most important factor is Lavrion’s proximity to the sea. With an abundance of fish and seafood at its doorstep, as well as a marina and port, it’s no wonder that a large portion of the town’s population are fishermen.

Perhaps not as obvious, considering it’s more concealed nature, is Lavrion’s mining industry. Since before 3,000 B.C., the area was famed for its silver and lead mines. Although abandoned in the 2nd century B.C., the mines were re-opened in 1864, attracting a large number of miners who eventually settled in the town.

Born and raised in Lavrion and now the owner of Taverna tou Veletakou, Yiannis Veletakos has experience both underground and on the sea. He started working at the local mines when he was 16, but the sea had always been his great love and fishing his therapy. “I prefer to go out fishing on my own, where it will be just me, the sea and God, piece of mind and clarity of thought,” he tells us during a recent visit.
