✨ Wrapping up the year in festive style! ✨
Earlier this month, our team gathered to decorate the Christmas tree at Estia—the warm and welcoming heart of our head offices.
Honoring our traditions, we also introduced a beautiful touch of Greek culture by decorating the traditional Christmas symbol: a radiant, illuminated boat (karavaki).
Now shining proudly in our courtyard, it symbolizes hope, safe journeys, and the spirit of the season.
The celebrations continued with a joyful Christmas lunch, featuring delicious food, festive drinks, cheerful music, and laughter that filled the air.

🎄 Wishing everyone a holiday season filled with happiness, love, and magical moments!

ESTIA – The Heart of Our Head Offices ❤️☕
We’re excited to introduce the newest addition to our head offices: “ESTIA”.
Named after the ancient Greek goddess Hestia, who embodies the hearth, home, and togetherness, Estia reflects the warmth, unity, and connection that are at the core of the K. Badouvas Group.
Much like Hestia brought people together around the fire, our Estia has already become the beating heart of our office—a place where colleagues meet, have lunch, share meaningful moments, and forge stronger bonds every day.

Η Κρήτη συναντά την Αυστρία σ’ ένα πρωτότυπο χορευτικό αντάμωμα Σαββατο 18 & Κυριακη 19 Μαΐου στο Κηποθέατρο Νίκος Καζαντζάκης. Ώρα έναρξης 20.00.
Μην χάσετε αυτή τη δυνατή μουσική & χορευτική εμπειρία, που ενώνει τους λαούς και τις ιδέες της φιλανθρωπίας και των συνεργιών!

ΔΕΛΤΙΟ ΤΥΠΟΥ

Λαϊκοί Χοροί από την Αυστρία και την Κρήτη.
Τρεις μοναδικές παραστάσεις σε Ηράκλειο και Τύρολο

Η Κρήτη συναντά την Αυστρία σ’ ένα πρωτότυπο χορευτικό αντάμωμα Σαββατο 18 & Κυριακη 19 Μαΐου στο Κηποθέατρο Νίκος Καζαντζάκης. Ώρα έναρξης 20.00.

Το συγκρότημα SCHUHPLATTERN MÖTZ, φιλοξενούμενο από την Paralos Lifestyle Beach του ομίλου της K. Badouvas - Group of Companies, συμπράττει με το συγκρότημα του Vasilis Pilalis σε δυο εξαιρετικές παραστάσεις στο Ηράκλειο, δίνοντας για πρώτη φορά την ευκαιρία στο κοινό να θαυμάσει τους περίφημους χορούς από το Τυρόλο της Αυστρίας και τις ομοιότητές τους με τους κρητικούς χορούς.

Η ίδια παράσταση θα φιλοξενηθεί και στο καθιερωμένο Φεστιβάλ Λαϊκών Χορών στο MÖTZ της Αυστρίας στις 15 Σεπτεμβρίου 2024, μεταφέροντας χορευτικά την Κρήτη στην καρδιά της Ευρώπης.

Η ιδέα για την χορευτική αυτή σύμπραξη γεννήθηκε σε μία συνάντηση της τέως Προξένου της Αυστρίας στην Κρήτη, κας Ροσβίτας Μπαντουβά με την αυστριακή συμμαθήτριά της κα Anni Jaglitsch, όπου διαπιστώθηκαν οι ομοιότητες στα χορευτικά βήματα των δύο περιοχών και αποφάσισαν να οργανώσουν μια χορευτική εκδήλωση με κρητικά και τυρολέζικα χορευτικά συγκροτήματα.

Η ιδέα βρήκε αμέσως ανταπόκριση από την Αντιπεριφεριάρχη Πολιτισμού και Ισότητας κα. Georgia Milaki και από την Αντιδήμαρχο Πολιτισμού Ηρακλείου κα. Rena Papadaki.

Συνδιοργάνωση: Περιφέρεια Κρήτης / Region of Crete, Δήμος Ηρακλείου - Municipality of Heraklion, Δημος Mötz / Tirol.

Χορηγοί: Cretan Holidays, HARAKI, Ανακουφιστική Φροντίδα Κρήτης-Ζαχαρίας Κ. Μπαντουβάς-Cretan Palliative Care και εταιρία HÖRMANN.

Εμπνεύστριες: Anni Jaglitsch & Ροσβίτα Μπαντουβά.
