Hotel General Manager
My name is Georgios Daskalakis and I am the General Manager of the Five-Star Abaton Island Resort & Spa in Crete, the latest Jewel of Hersonissos Group Hotels. I was born on 22nd December 1973 in Heraklion Crete.
Following my Hotel Management studies in Switzerland and my 20 year hotel experience journey in Switzerland, United Kingdom, Spain, Cyprus, I have returned to my sources in 2014, holding higher management positions in 5 star luxury properties, before joining Abaton Island Resort & Spa in February 2020.
Besides the exciting daily Hotel operation, the birth of my two girls in 2017 and in 2019 brought me additional inspiration and enthusiasm.

Development Strategy
Our goal is to develop through luxury channels and mostly through networks that are not being managed from big hotel chains. We put a lot of attention to the PR side that will cause a lot of awareness for an independent product.
