She lives in an idyllic rural area in the village Vassilikos together with her husband Dionysis and their two children. Their own olive grove, the holiday homes they rent to tourists and seminars in Greek cooking keep Maria and Dionysis busy all year around. Their houses are situated just a kilometer from Gerakas beach where the giant Loggerhead sea turtles nest in the summer.
