THPT Comment: Interesting move for Lampsa, who claim to be the oldest company (since 1919) in Greece that is active in the realm of hospitality and tourism and who own/rent the two most iconic hotels in Athens, as well as the Hyatt Regency in Belgrade, 70% of the shares of the Excelsior Hotel in Belgrade and 50% of the shares of the Sheraton Rhodes Resort on the island of Rhodes, along with the rental and the operation of the luxury Hotel King George at Syntagma Square in the heart of Athens.
