Founded by Panayot Papadulos in 1898 and leaving a trace in history like wine, Pano bears the traces of Papadulos, a Greek family living in Samatya. Papadulos, who sold all his property to make the Pano, beautifies Pano over the years and makes it the only wine-selling building in history. Pano, whose story is as deep as wine, continues 'without getting old' in the same place with their increasing friendships and increasing glasses over the years. The winery that Panayot died for brings his friends together again… This magical atmosphere leaves a memory for everyone who passes by, and without a doubt, Pano takes him on a long and deep journey from his youth to the present.The high ceiling, the delicate violin recital playing inside, is perhaps the only beautiful thing reminiscent of Beyoğlu..
