Inspired by his deep-rooted love for Santorini and the Greek legacy of hospitality, he transformed a vision into one of Greece’s leading luxury yachting brands. In this exclusive interview, he shares the passion, values, and strategy that have established Caldera Yachting as a symbol of premium sea experiences in the Aegean.
What inspired you to get involved in the sea tourism industry?
Every journey begins with a vision. For me, Caldera Yachting is not just another company. It is the result of my deep love for the sea, hospitality and the unique beauty of Santorini. I wanted to create something more than just a cruise service provider – something more like a journey of the senses, an experience that connects the visitor with the vast blue, the power of the caldera, the magic of the Aegean.
Right from the beginning my dream was to offer top-notch services, focusing on quality, safety and authenticity. I wanted every guest who comes onboard our boats to feel privileged, to experience something unique, to enjoy Greek hospitality in a way that will remain forever etched in his memory.
