This year’s winners included, among others, Casa Cook Kos on the Dodecannese island, Villa Venenziano (Anatolia Hospitality) on Lefkada and the Kenshō Boutique Hotel & Suites on Mykonos.

Furthermore, during the event three awards were presented to the exhibition’s best stands, with Bagno Y Bagno ranking first, followed by Box architects in second place and Papageorgiou Iakovos in third.

During the event, Dimitris Antonakos, founder of the show’s organizing company Demand Customize Marketing, thanked all the participants for supporting the contest with their presence.
