Meet "The Team"

Alkis

Born in 1985 in Athens. Studied Hotel Management in Crete. Fell in love with Agios Nikolaos Crete and after working in hotels for ten years at the guest services department and another six as scuba diving instructor, he decided to start his own business and do what he knows to do best : make people happy!!!

John

Born in 2002, in the earthquake-prone (but charming!) town of Arkalochori, John emerged from the Cretan soil with a burning passion for… spreadsheets? Yes, you read that right. He decided to grace the Department of Management Science and Technology in Agios Nikolaos with his presence, probably to figure out how to mathematically quantify the perfect gyros-to-tzatziki ratio.

When he’s not busy calculating the ROI of a perfectly aged wine (his other great passion, obviously), or meticulously planning his next culinary adventure, John is unleashing his inner comedian upon the unsuspecting public of Crete.He’s a stand-up rookie, performing in open mics around the island, where he’s probably testing jokes like "Why did the Minoan labyrinth get a bad review? Too many dead ends!"

We're not sure if his jokes are funnier than the average Cretan goat's bleating, but we're willing to bet they're at least more coherent. Come to Arodo, where you can experience the Michelis phenomenon firsthand. We promise, it'll be more entertaining than watching a donkey try to parallel park. And if the jokes bomb, well, we have wine. Lots of wine.
