Mathew Halpin, Mural

Mathew who runs the residency was saddened by the early death of a local known as either Georgina or Gorgo. Georgina had a fatal stroke in October 2023. She was the last of her family who all died prematurely. Everybody in Heraklion city knew her as she was often seen walking the streets alone sometimes with her little dogs. Some locals made fun of her sadly. Georgina was no saint but she was truly authentic in a country that has not grown to fully accept it's people that don't fit into a standard model.
