“Ohi” – meaning “No” – is one of the most powerful words in modern Greek history.
Every year on October 28th, Cyprus and Greece commemorate the moment in 1940 when Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas rejected an ultimatum from Italy, refusing to surrender to Axis forces. This act of bravery inspired national resistance and unity, marking a defining moment of courage for both nations.
Today, the day is celebrated with parades, flags, and tributes across Greece and Cyprus. It stands as a reminder of the strength, dignity, and solidarity shared by the two nations.
At Odysseia Hotel, we take pride in honoring this shared history – a history that mirrors the values we hold dear: hospitality, integrity, and unity.
🇬🇷 A timeless reminder that courage and pride go hand in hand.
