Balarina Residence is a journey through time, preserving its historical essence and architectural integrity across generations. The very stones with which it was built—estimated to be over 650 years old—remain untouched by the extensive renovation, maintaining the spirit and strength of centuries past.

Balarina Residence, many years ago, was part of a settlement of 12 homes with roots dating back to both the Venetian rule (1205–1669) and the Ottoman period (1669–1898).

It is said that during the Ottoman era, the entire settlement was the estate of Valaris Bey, from whom the residence takes its name to this day.

At Balarina Residence, you can still see three arches (domes)—the first likely from the Venetian period, and the other two from the time of Ottoman rule in the region. At the base of the interior staircase, there is also a stone loophole—a defensive architectural feature with a wide opening at the back and a narrow slit at the front—used by residents to fend off potential intruders.

Another noteworthy feature is the well in the courtyard, which served for many years as the sole water source for the entire settlement.
