Yesterday's induction ceremony into the Greek Shipping Hall of Fame, which took place at the Athens Concert Hall, had a clear historical depth, as it coincided with the 80th anniversary of the pivotal year 1946, the year in which the sale of American Liberty ships to Greek shipowners began, marking the rebirth of Greek-owned shipping. This juncture gave the event an anniversary character. Not only individuals were honored. An entire historical transition was honored. From the destroyed Greek-owned merchant shipping of 1945, to its explosive rise in the following decades, which led it to the top of the world. Within this context, the inclusion of two personalities in the Pantheon of Greek Shipping, Nikolaos Frangos and Kadio Sigala, functions not only as recognition of their individual journeys in the shipping business but as a representative reflection of an entire era.

Possible locations

There are quite a few scenarios, as according to the same information, Scorpios Mykonos, located on Paraga beach in a secluded bay that hundreds of thousands of people visit to enjoy the endless view of the Aegean Sea and one of the most beautiful sunsets, has been "put on the table", as well as Jackie'O, respectively one of the most famous beach bars on the island known for its magical location that takes you on a journey, which is on the hill of Super Paradise beach.
At the same time, it is rumored that a villa has already been booked where part of the filming will take place, after several on-site inspections by production personnel at various hotels and villas.
