Innovative Greeks Talks with Marco Veremis: ep.30 - Eftychios Vassilakis

Once a month, our partner and co-Chair of SEV’s Innovation Committee, Marco Veremis hosts innovative Greeks, who excel by achieving increasingly higher goals. His guests unfold their stories and share with us their exciting journey, experiences gathered along the way, but also their recipe for success.

In this episode of Innovative Greeks, Markos Veremis welcomes Eftichios Vassilakis, Chairman of AEGEAN and Olympic Air and CEO of Autohellas.

From a small shop in Heraklion, Crete, the Vassilakis family built a remarkable legacy that continues to shape Greece’s tourism and aviation industries.

Eftichios Vassilakis shares his family’s inspiring journey, reflecting on the challenges they’ve faced, the vision that drives their growth, and the role that people and culture play in the companies’ success.

Together, they discuss the state of tourism in Greece—its challenges, its evolution, and the opportunities it holds for the future.
