Following her lead, members of the ThinkVilla team delivered compelling presentations, including Mr. Nikos Agaliotis, Mr. Stelios Papadakis, Mr. Nikos Fotakis, and Mr. Giorgos Mainolas, each bringing their unique insights and expertise to the stage. The summit concluded on a high note with a spellbinding presentation by Μrs Maria Gkonta, COO & Co-Owner, who eloquently shared her vision on “The Future of Hospitality in Crete.” Her words resonated deeply, leaving a lasting impression on all in attendance.
The power of collaboration is undeniable, and this event proved it in the most remarkable way.
