Dear Savvina,
While attending the GREEN EXPO Exhibition, where Kalymnos is the honored Municipality and at the center of nationwide attention, I felt even greater joy and pride upon learning of your distinction at the international Specialist Awards 2025 competition.
Your pioneering idea, “Kapadiko Blue”—a composition incorporating the well-known sponge “kapadiko” with soap, which blends quality, aesthetics, innovation, and the sponge-diving tradition of our island, secured you the gold award in this international competition.
My dear Savvina, as Mayor of this blessed place with its wonderful people, I was filled with feelings of joy, pride, and emotion. The achievements of our youth—such as yours in entrepreneurship and innovation—highlight the dynamism of our society and especially of the new generation.
The youth involved in entrepreneurship and innovation, sports, sciences, and the arts, I assure you, are always at the heart of the current Municipal Authority’s policy, and the Mayor’s door will always be open to support all your efforts and, above all, to be inspired by your groundbreaking ideas.
Sincerely,
THE MAYOR OF KALYMNOS
Ioannis St. Mastrokoukos
