U.S. Ambassador Guilfoyle calls on Mykonos Mayor during island holiday

The warmest exchange came when Mrs. Guilfoyle and Deputy Mayor Dimitris Koutsoukos discovered they had both lived in California for several decades, trading memories of San Francisco landmarks and neighborhoods in a conversation that outlasted the formal part of the meeting. 

The visit required a security deployment that drew attention along the seafront: K-9 bomb-detection teams swept the premises before her arrival, and a federal armed detail guarded Mrs. Guilfoyle throughout.

Tourists and local residents who gathered outside the building were greeted by the ambassador before she returned to her motorcade.

The Mykonos stop follows her attendance at the EuroLeague Final Four in Athens over the weekend — where Olympiacos won the title — and comes weeks after her tour of the Souda Bay naval base in Crete, during which she confirmed that President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are considering visits to Greece later in 2026.
