“I could tell Giannis Antetokounmpo and his family loved Greece the moment I met them. Giannis inspires us with his accomplishments and demonstrates how Greece is always at the forefront of his international profession, which he champions at every chance he gets.

He accepted without hesitation when I asked him to serve as an ambassador for Greek travel. And I want to express my gratitude to him for giving Greece this wonderful gift—to be able to stand here and welcome people from all over the world to come and see our country. I want to thank him once more for joining us in this national endeavor to promote Greece and tourism, and I wish him continued health and prosperity.
