Angelos Simsirikis, a retired officer of the Hellenic Navy, decided at a very young age to dedicate his life to the sea and become a naval officer.
He was captivated by the world and environment of the bridge, the blue of the sea, and the endless horizon. The ships, machinery, bow, and the voyages moved him deeply.
His first encounter with the sea was aboard his father’s vessel, the Panthira, where he got his first taste of life at sea. During his 15-year career in the Navy, he served on the submarines Pontos, Triton, Amphitrite, and Glaucus.
Now, he divides his time between Alexandroupoli, Athens, and sailing, a passion that keeps him close to the sea he loves so much.
