Greece has faced numerous issues over the past few years both politically and economically, however, the one Greek industry that seems to, not only, remain resilient but actually keeps growing is the Tourism industry. Why do you think this is?
Since ancient times Greece has always provided unique experiences via its culture and hospitality. The Priority was always to make each visitor feel at home. We truly about our guests and we treat each one and attempt to create a personal relationship with each guest that honoured us by choosing to spend their holidays with us. To be simple but at the same time exceptional and unique is a great combination. This is our biggest asset and allows us as a nation to overcome any type of difficulty that presents itself.

As a GM in charge of a world Class resort, you have a very busy schedule. When you have time off where or how do you choose to spend it?
On every trip that I do regardless of the purpose, I always want to get the most out of it. I am positive about anything new and I am always keen to discover the culture and peculiarities of an area. I really want to learn the history and habits of the people. I relax from the pressure of everyday life and rejuvenate my inner inspiration. I want to be the best ambassador of my country that I can be.
