The Greek Embassy in Australia expresses its heartfelt condolences for the untimely death of well-known businessman and great benefactor Yannis (John) Halikos, former president of the Kalymnos Brotherhood, who passed away in Darwin.
The news has caused grief to his family, friends, and homeland, Kalymnos, as well as to the large community of Kalymnians in Darwin and Australia. Kalymnos always remained at the center of his heart and his actions. He supported schools, families, and vulnerable social groups, strengthened the healthcare sector with the donation of the hospital that bears his name, contributed to improving transportation and the daily lives of citizens, and did not fail to lend a helping hand to the remote island of Psérimos.
