Owner and Captain of the ship, Gerasimos was born in Nidri and has spent his life on the sea, working as a sailor since the age of 15. His many duties and work on cargo ships has taken him all around the world.He was one of the chosen few who actually worked for Onassis, employed as an engineer on the largest, most luxurious privately-owned ship, the Christina. Gerasimos has labored endlessly in his effort to restore the Odysseia. She is now his rightful platform to share with you his passion, his “ODYSSEIA”, a tale of epic proportion and his belief that Lefkada is the home of ancient Ithaki.
