Mitsis Hotels Group was founded in 1976 in Greece by entrepreneur Konstantinos Mitsis, who envisioned to revolutionize the tourism industry with the all-inclusive concept. The idea was to develop top-of-the-range hospitality accommodation and rich F&B programme, all on the basis of high quality and premium service.

The first ventures came on Kos island with Ramira and Norida and soon expanded in some of the most beautiful destinations of the country, under the sunlight of the Greek islands or amid the history and culture of mythical cities – in Athens, Crete, Kamena Vourla, Kos and Rhodes.

Today, the company employs 4,500 professionals, thereby playing an important part in the country’s tourism development and employment sector.
