Greek Island Club celebrates 40th anniversary

In 1969, the first man walked on the moon, a loaf of bread cost a shilling and Greek Islands Club (GIC) was established.

The exclusive villa operator, which now offers over 200 villas throughout the Greek Ionian and Aegean islands, started its programme on Paxos in 1969, just two years after electricity arrived on the island.

Says David Watrous, Managing Director: "In 1965, my parents visited the Ionian islands of Greece aboard a friend’s yacht. They were so enchanted that they returned and built a house among the olive groves on the small island of Paxos.
