It is actually the old stone house of Mikis Theodorakis, known as the “House with scorpions.” An old Ikarian farmhouse that hosted the famous music composer and his companions, during his exile on the island. This house is now a museum and has been officially recognized by the Greek state, as listed building. It includes many exhibits of his everyday life during his exile.” More

Anagnostakis was a leader amongst his contemporaries and influenced the generation of poets immediately after him. His poems have been honored in Greece's national awards and arranged and sung by contemporary musicians. In spite of his accomplishments, Philip Ramp notes that Anagnostakis "is the least known, to an English speaking audience, of the major Greek poets of his generation."
