He is described as both an idealist and a pragmatist. He has been shaped by decades of experience in the field he serves, yet at the same time manages to maintain a completely fresh perspective on things. «The place itself is the answer, the solution, and the proposal,» he declares, as a sort of recurring refrain to the questions that accompany the section on “tourism in Kythira.”.
Paschalis Koulouris, owner of the Anemes Hotel in Avlemonas, has seen and experienced a great deal in the demanding world of the tourism business. In fact, he approaches every challenge with the same personalized approach that allows him to draw lessons and experiences before it leaves its mark on the collective consciousness. That is why he manages to treat the Whole as part of the One. For Paschalis, Kythira is the mold, the womb from which solutions to problems are born. Ideas in thoughts. Answers to questions.
In his interview with Kythera.News, Paschalis talks to us about the harmony with which generations and groups of people, nuances of trends, and cultural connections all come together in the authentic essence of Kythera. He shares his views on mass tourism, discusses the young people of Tsirigota and the need for them to broaden their horizons beyond the «walls of the sea,» explains why the harmonious integration of the Albanian community has benefited the area, and identifies the small steps still needed to further improve the overall picture. «So that we can be well. And we will be well,» he concludes, taking one last sip of his coffee.
