The funeral of Nick Andrianakos, the late Greek Australian billionaire who passed away on March 16, was held on Wednesday, March 19, in Nafplio, Greece.
Surrounded by relatives, friends, state officials, and accompanied by the Nafplio Philharmonic, Andrianakos’ body was transferred to the Church of St Anastasios for the service.
Metropolitan Iakovos of Ireland conducted the ceremony, with family members from Andrianakos’ homeland of Arcadia in attendance.
Andrianakos, 81, died from a heart attack at Argos Hospital while in the area for an investment venture.
Born in the village of Pikerni, Arcadia, Andrianakos emigrated to Melbourne at the age of 22, where he rose to prominence as one of Australia’s wealthiest individuals.
His passing has deeply affected the Greek community in Australia, with many expressing admiration for his achievements and contributions.
His son, Theo, who now leads the family business, is in Greece to accompany his father’s body back to Australia.
