The same honour equally applies to our passengers, who due to their preference, empower us to support Greek sports by facilitating their transport for more than 25 years.”

“Our wish to our athletes, is to enjoy the unique experience of the Olympic games and embrace it with their heart. Their participation is a lifetime accomplishment, and this great honour and joy belongs to them, their families and those that support them throughout the years,” Mr Vassilakis added.
