The President of the Republic, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, hosted a lunch for the 48 residents of Gavdos, expressing her joy for her presence, on the day of the Epiphany, on the island of Akriti, the southernmost tip of Greece and Europe.
Mrs. Sakellaropoulou talked to the residents who were very warm with the President, talking to her about the daily life on the island and its beauties.
The President of the Republic, in a highly symbolic move, was on the day of the Epiphany in Gavdos where she attended the ceremony of sanctification of the waters, while immediately afterwards she was declared an honorary citizen of the area.
He was guided to parts of the island, such as the house of the exiles in Sarakiniko. Historian-researcher Dimitris Damaskinos gave a tour of the site, while immediately afterwards Mrs. Sakellaropoulou visited the altimetry satellite calibration station. There she was welcomed by the rector of the Technical University of Crete Evangelos Diamantopoulos and the vice-rectors Michalis Zervakis and Michalis Lagoudakis. The PD was guided by Professor Stavros Mertika of the School of Mineral Resources Engineering of the Technical University of Crete.
He then went on to connect with the European Space Agency and contacted Dr Craig Donlon, Head of Earth Surfaces and Interior Section, Earth and Mission Science Division, European Space Agency / ESTEC. He then visited the military outpost.
