10 YEARS ZEUS INTERNATIONAL

Driven by Vision

ON THE OCCASION OF THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF ZEUS INTERNATIONAL’S FOUNDING, HARIS SIGANOS SHARES EVERYTHING...

The visionary behind the Group’s successful trajectory, Haris Siganos, speaks about his early steps, the significance of authentic hospitality, what makes the Group stand out in both the Greek and international scene, and reveals the next steps...

What was your initial vision when you founded Zeus International in 2015? What were the biggest challenges you faced?

Our goal was to bring authentic Greek hospitality to the forefront by creating a Group that would combine local tradition with modern hospitality trends. We wanted to offer experiences that reflected quality, authenticity, and dedication to the needs of visitors. The challenges were numerous -from establishing a strong corporate identity to forging strategic partnerships and integrating innovative technologies in our field. However, our commitment to quality and the collective effort of our team were the key factors in overcoming these challenges and establishing ourselves as one of the most dynamic hospitality Groups in Europe.

What is the company’s strategic vision for the future, and what trends are shaping its trajectory?

It focuses on dynamic growth and innovation. We want Zeus International to continue expanding into high-demand destinations, while simultaneously offering upgraded services that meet the modern needs of travelers.By keeping up with developments in the hospitality industry, we emphasize personalization of experiences, digitalization of services, and the adoption of sustainable practices that respect both the environment and local communities.

Our goal is to remain pioneers, investing in infrastructure and human capital.

The rebranding of Zeus International marks a new era for the company. What market gap does this change aim to fill?

The strategic rebranding, set to be completed by the end of 2025, aims to upgrade our corporate identity and strengthen our position in the market. This transformation reflects our commitment to quality, innovation, and authenticity, addressing the gap for luxurious, personalized hospitality experiences. In a vibrant organization service offerings cannot remain stagnant, and that’s precisely what we seek to achieve through rebranding -to renew ourselves from the ground up and breathe new life into the hospitality sector in the Mediterranean.

We create unique destinations, carefully selecting strategic locations with the goal of offering guests much more than just a stay!

What are the next steps for Zeus International, and which markets do you plan to focus on?

At Zeus International, growth and expansion are an extension of our commitment to authentic hospitality. We create unique destinations, carefully selecting strategic locations with the goal of offering guests much more than just a stay -an immersive experience with identity, character, and a meaningful connection to the place. Our strategy focuses on strengthening our presence in Europe, taking steady steps toward markets that show strong potential and tourist interest. At the same time, we remain dedicated to Greece, continuing to invest, evolve, and build destinations that highlight the richness and uniqueness of each region.

Digital transformation, service personalization, and innovative offerings are reshaping the hospitality landscape. What initiatives is Zeus International adopting in these areas?

At Zeus International, we combine the latest technological advancements with a sustainability-driven philosophy, implementing innovative solutions to enhance guest experience. We use modern applications for personalized service and leverage data to craft unique experiences tailored to each visitor’s needs and preferences. Additionally, the Group places great emphasis on sustainability, implementing strategies to reduce environmental impact, such as the use of renewable energy sources, waste reduction, and the promotion of local production. What sustainability initiatives are you adopting to ensure an environmentally responsible future?

Sustainability is a fundamental pillar of our philosophy. We aim to offer hospitality that respects both the environment and

local communities. We collaborate with local suppliers, strengthening the regional economy and supporting approximately 3,500 families. At the same time, we adopt responsible practices in our hotels, such as reducing energy and water consumption, using sustainable materials, and minimizing plastic usage. We educate our staff on environmental responsibility and participate in initiatives that support local communities. For us, responsible hospitality means taking care not only of our guests but also of the places that host us. The quality of services largely depends on the staff. How do you ensure that your team receives the right training to provide authentic hospitality to every guest?

Our staff is the heart and soul of our Group. For us, authentic hospitality begins with investing in people. That’s why we provide continuous and comprehensive training at all levels, both professionally and personally. Through specially designed skill development programs, we enhance the expertise, sensitivity, and dedication of our team, ensuring that every guest feels truly special. Our commitment to training guarantees that the hospitality we offer is always authentic, high-quality, and tailored to the needs of our clients. Awards and international distinctions confirm a company’s success. What do these recognitions mean for Zeus International, and how do they influence its development?

For us, they mean far more than just acknowledgment -they serve as validation and confirmation that our efforts meet the highest hospitality standards. Every award is an honor that strengthens our determination to continue with passion and dedication. At the same time, these distinctions

reinforce the trust of our customers and partners, opening new avenues for the evolution and growth of Zeus International. They act as motivation for continuous improvement and innovation, as we strive to remain pioneers in an ever-competitive industry.

Zeus International celebrates 10 years of dynamic presence. Looking back, did you ever imagine the company would reach this point?

And how do you envision the Group in the next 10 years?

When we started 10 years ago, we had vision and passion, but the truth is that we couldn’t have imagined how quickly and dynamically we would grow. Our journey has been filled with challenges as well as significant achievements, bringing us to where we stand today. Looking ahead, we envision Zeus International establishing itself as one of the most dynamic and innovative hospitality Groups in Europe. We aim to continue expanding into strategic markets and creating experiences that combine quality, authenticity, and sustainability -becoming the top choice for travelers in every destination where we operate.

Are there new hotel projects or destinations you plan to expand into in the near future?

Yes, we have several exciting plans for the near future, both in Greece and abroad. In Greece, we are strengthening our presence in Chalkidiki with new projects already underway, while in Crete, we are preparing significant initiatives that aspire to bring a fresh perspective to the island’s hospitality landscape. Our goal is to create destinations that blend luxury, connection to local communities, and sustainable development, offering unique experiences!

Embracing inclusivity!

H ZEUS INTERNATIONAL

HIDDEN DISABILITIES SUNFLOWER.

ZEUS INTERNATIONAL BECOMES THE FIRST GROUP IN GREECE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HIDDEN DISABILITIES SUNFLOWER PROGRAM. THIS INITIATIVE IS INTRODUCED TO US BY THE CΉIEF OPERATING OFFICER, CHRISTIANNA MAVROIDI!

What is the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, and why did Zeus International Hotels & Resorts adopt this initiative? The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a global program that allows individuals with non-visible disabilities to discreetly indicate that they may need additional support. As the first Hotel & Resorts Group in Greece to join this initiative, we are reinforcing our commitment to inclusive hospitality. We believe that true hospitality means ensuring every guest feels seen, respected, and supported.

What does the Sunflower symbol represent, and how does it help guests? The Sunflower symbol is a simple, non-verbal way for individuals with hidden disabilities -such as autism, chronic conditions, or mental health challenges- to communicate their needs. It allows our staff to offer extra assistance, patience, and personalized service, enhancing the overall guest experience.

What changes have you implemented to support this initiative? We have integrated the Sunflower across our Hotels & Resorts in Greece, Italy, and Romania by: • Train staff to recognize and respond to guests’ needs with discretion and care • Raising awareness through guest communication materials and digital official platforms

In which way is your staff trained to accommodate guests with hidden disabilities? All Staff undergo specialized training to recognize the Sunflower symbol and provide thoughtful, appropriate support. For our seasonal resorts, this training is part of the pre-opening induction to ensure a seamless transition when welcoming guests.

What are the company’s future plans for accessibility and inclusivity?

We are committed to: • Expanding our training programs to strengthen disability awareness. • Enhancing physical accessibility in current and future properties.

• Collaborating with experts to further develop inclusive hospitality practices.

TRUE HOSPITALITY

MEANS ENSURING EVERY GUEST FEELS SEEN, RESPECTED & SUPPORTED.

How have guests responded so far? The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Many guests have expressed gratitude, appreciating our understanding. This initiative has also sparked important conversations about accessibility in Greek hospitality.

Are Zeus properties already accessible to guests with disabilities? Yes, and we are proud to highlight Lazart Hotel in Thessaloniki, which is a fully accessible hotel and has been awarded for its excellence in accessibility. This recognition underscores our commitment to ensuring all guests, whether with visible or hidden disabilities -enjoy a seamless stay.

How do you see the Greek tourism industry responding to such initiatives? Greek hospitality is evolving, and we are proud to lead this change. By prioritizing accessibility, we can attract a wider, more diverse audience and set a new standard for inclusive travel.

What message do you have for other businesses? We encourage all businesses -especially hospitality- to embrace inclusivity. Small steps, like recognizing the Sunflower symbol, can transform guest experiences and create a more welcoming world for everyone.

From there, Vyronos Street will take you into the heart of Plaka, one of the most picturesque neighbourhoods with narrow cobblestone streets and charming courtyards filled with bougainvillea. If you have time, it’s worth visiting Anafiotika, a special uphill neighbourhood with traditional Cycladic-style houses that will make you feel like you’re on a Greek island!

With a female Touch

CHARALAMPIDI BRINGS SENSITIVITY, CREATIVE ENERGY, AND A FEMININE PERSPECTIVE TO THE FOREFRONT OF GASTRONOMY

In a professional world where men have traditionally held the reins, Theoni Charalampidi has carved out a space all her own -with strength, creativity, and unwavering focus. As Head Chef of Wyndham Grand Athens and Wyndham Athens Residence, she talks about gastronomy as an experience, the importance of corporate culture, and the added value that a feminine perspective brings to the professional kitchen.

“

Do you believe that the presence of women in leadership positions in the kitchen brings a different approach to gastronomy? At Zeus International, equality and empowerment of all team members, regardless of gender, are core values. The presence of women in leadership roles adds a new dimension to the kitchen - with greater sensitivity, empathy, teamwork, and attention to detail. This doesn’t mean we are better, but that we bring a different energy that makes the team and the outcome more complete. This approach helps us continuously evolve our gastronomic footprint for the benefit of our guests.

KITCHEN IS TOUGH, YET FAIR. IF YOU HAVE PASSION AND INTEGRITY, YOU’LL ALWAYS FIND YOUR WAY

As a female chef in a large group, how do you balance creativity with the framework of corporate culture? The corporate culture at Zeus International Group is the ultimate foundation for me. It supports me in expressing my creativity while respecting the group’s values and high standards. This balance helps me deliver consistent, high-quality gastronomy without losing my personal culinary identity.

What challenges does a woman face in a professional kitchen environment, and how has this journey shaped you within the group? Within the demanding environment of Zeus International, I feel that my work is recognized and valued regardless of gender. Although there are moments when one must demonstrate their abilities even more, this journey has taught me to rely on my strengths and to build teams founded on respect and collaboration. The ongoing support from the group and the team spirit serve as a vital source of empowerment for me.

How do you design menus to meet the needs of both leisure guests and participants in conferences and events at a city hotel with a strong MICE presence, such as Wyndham Grand Athens? Gastronomy plays a crucial role in the success of every event and conference. For MICE participants, we design menus that are light, nutritious, and energizing to help them stay focused and active throughout the meetings. We also pay special attention to fast and efficient service to meet the demanding needs. At the same time, for leisure guests, we create dishes that highlight the authenticity and richness of local cuisine, with modern presentation and a personal touch, ensuring a unique culinary experience.

What does it mean to you to provide high-quality gastronomy within city hospitality? What is your favorite dish that reflects this philosophy? For me, gastronomy is much more than just food - it’s about creating a complete experience that combines authenticity, respect for local ingredients, and modern presentation. It is both a joy and an honor to offer flavours that leave lasting impressions on our guests. One of my favorite dishes is cannelloni stuffed with creamy cheese and fresh herbs, served with a delicate basil sauce. It’s a dish that blends tradition and innovation, soft textures and bold flavours. What advice would you give to a young woman who wants to pursue a career in gastronomy and the hotel industry? She must cultivate patience, perseverance, and confidence. This is a demanding field full of challenges but also great opportunities for personal and professional growth. It is essential to stay authentic and passionate, without fearing to innovate and shaping her own path, even if that means overcoming stereotypes or obstacles along the way.

In recent years, the global hospitality industry has turned to a new trend: the integration of autonomous villas within or next to hotel complexes. An expected approach that has come to meet the huge demand of travellers for comfortable accommodation. Ensuring privacy, the comfort of home, access to all hotel services and additional exclusive amenities, the villas are ideal for families, large groups or simply those looking for the ultimate holiday experience!

Ο

Zeus International Hotels & Resorts Group, a pioneer in adopting this global trend, is constantly investing in the development and addition of new villas to its portfolio.

The first of the hotels to embrace this new logic was Dolce Attica Riviera which added to its accommodation offerings three luxury villas with the most impressive, Villa Aphrodite, ideal for 4 people.

With the unique sea view as a highlight, the villas of the Ajul Luxury hotel & spa resort in Chalkidiki also stand out. In a privileged location they can boast of their comfort, with the Royal Villa being the pride of the hotel as its luxury and

facilities, spanning 572 square meters, will make you feel like royalty!

Mirabello Bay Luxury Resort in Crete has reached an even higher level by launching this year the Signature Villas, 5 new villas that offer up to three bedrooms and can accommodate up to 10 people. Each villa, the largest of which covers 380 square meters, features a private pool, large terraces and gardens, ensuring complete privacy. In addition, it offers services such as a personal manager, private chef and 24-hour concierge service.

KASSANDRA

If you love history, before you start your exploration in Kassandra, it is worth making a first stop in Ancient Olynthos, built on the shores of the Toronean Gulf, 15 km from Nea Potidea. It is one of the most important ancient cities (7th century BC), with the oldest mosaic floors in Greece and an impressive equestrian urban system. Your introduction to the first leg begins as soon as you cross the bridge of the Potidea Canal, which took its present form in 1930. With a width of 40m and a length of 1,250m, it occupies a strategic position overlooking the Thermaic and the Toronean Gulf. Start your tour from Nea Fokaia, with its quiet little harbours and restaurants offering exceptional seafood options. Among the landmarks is the 17-meter high Byzantine Tower of St. Paul, built in 1407, which dominates the hill.

Continue to Afytos, one of the most picturesque and vibrant villages of the area, where the cobbled streets and traditional houses create an atmosphere of a bygone era. Afytos or Athytos, known for its sunset, is ideal for afternoon strolls. Don’t miss to visit the folklore museum and the church of Aghios Dimitrios.

Next stops are Kallithea and Kryopigi, areas that combine the tranquility of nature with a cosmopolitan charm. With beaches characterised by crystal blue waters and pine forests, they offer the ideal destinations for both relaxation and entertainment.

Moving further south, you will find Pefkohori, one of the most popular destinations of Chalkidiki, known for its beautiful coastline with turquoise waters. The area marries a traditional settlement with an old-fashioned nostalgic aura and the cosmopolitan beach that brings together a plethora of beach bars.

Paliouri

Continuing south, you will reach Paliouri. Built between pine-covered hills, this beautiful traditional village with its narrow alleys is ideal for an afternoon stroll. Locals and foreigners visit it mainly for the taverns with local meat and fresh fish. A short distance away you will discover two impressive beaches, the exotic Glarokavos, which creates an idyllic lagoon, and Chrouso, a sandy bay immersed in greenery.

Although the western part has so far monopolised our exploration of Kassandra, we left the eastern part for the end as it hides some unexpected surprises. One of them is Fourka, an area smothered in greenery with pine trees and traditionally preserved mansions. It is quite popular both for its blue-blue, Blue Flag award-winning beach, Skala Fourkas, and for what locals say is the best sunset in Chalkidiki. A short distance away is the famous Poseidi. Apart from the picturesque little harbour and the archaeological site of ancient Kassandria, it is connected with Miti or Ammoglossa. It is a strip of land that enters the sea and changes its shape due to the tides. Its particular shape, the green waters and the golden sand have made it one of the most impressive beaches in the country!

Our last stop is the picturesque settlement of Aghia Paraskevi, where Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa resort is located. Built in a pine forest, full of idyllic streets lined with traditional cafes and taverns serving local delicacies, it is considered one of the most beautiful spots in Chalkidiki. Don’t miss the famous thermal baths, 5 km south of the village, known after the World War II for their healing properties!

EXPLORING THE MANY

FROM THE SIGNIFICANT ARCHAEOLOGICAL TREASURES OF THE OLD TOWN TO THE PICTURESQUE VILLAGES, THE THERMAL SPRINGS, AND THE EXOTIC BEACHES, KOS REVEALS ITS RICH HISTORY AND NATURAL BEAUTY IN EVERY CORNER! ALL YOU NEED IS THE DESIRE TO EXPLORE THEM...

SIDES OF THE ISLAND

KOS TOWN There’s definitely no more delightful way to explore the Old Town than a bike ride! Kos, as one of the most cyclist-friendly islands in Greece, boasts an extensive network of safe bike lanes exceeding 15 kilometers, running along the coastal front and beyond. Starting at Eleftherias Square, the “heart” of the Old Town, you’ll find the Archaeological Museum, showcasing artifacts from the ancient, Hellenistic, and post-Roman periods. Nearby, you can visit Casa Romana, an impressive Roman villa built on the ruins of a Hellenistic house, as well as the Defterdar Mosque, a characteristic example of Ottoman architecture. A little further on, the Ancient Gymnasium and the Roman Odeon (2nd century AD) highlight the grandeur of the Roman era, while the Ancient Agora is one of the largest of antiquity. Following the Avenue of Palms, you’ll pass under one of the arches of the old bridge leading to the Nerantzia Castle, a medieval gem from the Knights of Saint John (14th–15th century). Right next door is the famous Plane Tree of Hippocrates, a natural monument over 500 years old, where, according to tradition, the father of medicine taught his students.

ASKLEPIΕΙON Nestled on the slope of a pine-covered hill, 4 km outside the town with a view of the sea, it is considered the most popular attraction of Kos. This comes as no surprise since the Asklepieion was the most significant healing center of antiquity, embodying the principles of Hippocrates regarding modern medicine.

KEFALOS Traditional village enthusiasts should not miss a visit to Kefalos. Just a 45-minute drive (40 km) from the town, at the southwestern tip of the island, this village combines mountains with the sea and culinary delights. At the top of the hill stands the traditional settlement with its picturesque cobblestone streets. Along the coast stretches Kamari, famous for its beaches, restaurants, and the highly photographed islet of Kastri, located opposite the Early Christian Basilica of Aghios Stefanos. You can reach it either by swimming or by canoe!

WETLANDS Two wetlands connected to Kos via bike paths offer unique scenery. Heading east, you can stop at the Psalidi Wetland, a resting spot for dozens of migratory birds, just a stone’s throw from the pebble beach of Aghios Fokas (4.8 km away). To the west of the town, one of the most beautiful sights awaits at the exotic Tigaki Beach. At the Tigaki Salt Flats, a Natura 2000 nature reserve, you may even get the chance to admire pink flamingos!

THERMAL SPRINGS OF THERMA Located about 13 km from the town, you will find the thermal springs at Therma. The area is characterized by a rugged volcanic landscape, where warm waters emerge from the earth and flow into a natural pool by the sea. Rich in minerals, these springs are considered beneficial for the body, offering a unique relaxation experience!

MASTICHARI As the island’s second port and a seaside settlement of Antimacheia, Mastichari is just 30 minutes from the center. It’s a lively fishing village renowned for its taverns serving fresh fish. Moreover, its wonderful sandy beach with crystal-clear waters is ideal for windsurfing enthusiasts. From here, boats depart daily for Kalymnos and Pserimos.

Tigaki A calm sandy beach with shallow, crystal-clear waters that is ideal for families. It is located north of the town against the backdrop of Pserimos.

Marmari Stretching across an endless sandy beach south of the town, it offers many dining options. Its shallow and safe waters make it perfect for families!

Psalidi An organized pebble beach with stunning turquoise waters. It is particularly popular among water sports enthusiasts.

Kardamena A long beach spanning several kilometers, featuring both organized spots with restaurants and bars as well as quieter areas.

Kefalos One of the most popular beaches, known for its fine sand, shallow waters, and several beach bars.

Aghios Stefanos Combines fine sand and small pebbles and offers several options for water sports enthusiasts.

TOP 10 BEACHES

THE VILLAGES OF KOS Beyond the town, Kos is home to picturesque villages that are not to be missed. Asfendiou, one of the oldest villages on the island, impresses with its traditional architecture and numerous churches, while Pyli, rich in history, is characterized by traditional houses and a beautiful central square. Don’t leave the island without visiting Zia, the highest inhabited point on the island. Built on the slopes of Mount Dikaios, it’s perfect for strolling through its narrow alleys and enjoying the breathtaking sunset!

Lagada It is among the most quiet and pristine beaches, with golden sand and calm waters, ideal for nature lovers.

Mastichari One of the most popular beaches in Kos, stretching 5 km, it is perfect for kite surfing enthusiasts.

Kavo Paradisos A secluded beach at the western tip of the island, offering a mosaic of turquoise waters and a rocky landscape.

Aghios Theologos The most remote of the western beaches, it is perfect for those seeking to enjoy a stunning sunset view!

ANTIMACHEIA If you wish to discover an authentic traditional village, be sure to add Antimacheia to your itinerary, built on a small plateau 23 km southwest of the town. Its castle, built in the 14th century by the Knights of St. John, is strategically located southeast of the village on a plateau with panoramic views of the sea and surrounding islands.

CRUISE TO THE NEARBY ISLANDS

Kos is the perfect starting point for day trips to the nearby islands of the Dodecanese! From the close-by Kalymnos and Pserimos to the more distant Leros and Nisyros, enjoy a one-day excursion by choosing one of the organized cruises or the regular ferry services departing daily from the island’s main port or Mastichari!
