The international media have showcased our country as a case study throughout the world, with rave tributes by the Telegraph, the Guardian, Bild, Time, Bloomberg to mention a few. As a result, Greece is opening season 2020 with optimism and preparedness to receive again visitors from all over the world. I am really proud of my country, the land where hospitality was born, for being a cradle of human values for the entire world, as the past three months, moments of victory, acts of courage, care and humanity filled our hearts and lit up our spirit.
I am really proud for all we have accomplished at Mitsis Hotels.

For more than 40 years, Mitsis Hotels have been a unique destination and a tourism pioneer, driven by the promise of an unparalleled holiday experience. The COVID-19 pandemic has required us to raise our demanding standards to an even higher level with new enhanced protocols. In the past three months, we have worked hard to prepare our hotels’ operations adapting to the requirements of our times and excelling in every way possible.
This crisis has highlighted even more the unique role our brand plays in people’s lives.
| 1. |
We joined forces with the Greek government and the local authorities to overcome the impact of COVID-19 and ensure health & safety is back on our communities. |
| 2. |
Acting for life, we organized a national blood donation throughout our destinations to reinforce the regions’ blood banks and assist every COVID-19 patient in need of blood. |
| 3. |
We widely open our arms to the healthcare community. Our group donates 10,000 room nights, our way to say “thank you” to the frontline heroes of our times fighting to contain the COVID-19 disease by making sure all medical workers have a clean and comfortable place to stay. |
The value of life is what we treasure most.

With an acute responsibility to provide carefree holidays in our protected shelters for our guests and a safe workplace for our staff, our detailed prevention plan foresees enhanced protocols and procedures across all hotel departments to address the new COVID-19 and any disease that can be transmitted in the community, in consultation with the guidelines of the World Health Organisation, the Greek Ministries of Health and Tourism and local authorities.
Our plan to be continuously updated abiding by new guidance, procedures, or regulations by the pertinent authorities, is spearheaded by the following 10 guiding principles, while response teams and hygiene agents in each of our hotels will oversee the implementation of cleanliness standards aided by new enhanced cleaning technologies.
