Aristotle Onassis

The Mount Olympus, an old Boeing 727 of Olympic Airways, which was founded by Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis in 1957, has been dismantled 24 years after it stopped flying so that it could be moved to its new home, on Vouliagmenis Avenue, a few meters from the Elliniko metro stop.

A new museum honoring legendary soprano Maria Callas will open in Athens next year to honor the centenary of her birth, the city said on Oct. 26.

The museum, to open in the summer of 2023, will feature "valuable historical archives, rare live recordings, a unique collection of records and personal items" of Callas, said a statement.

The breakfast served in first class on the Olympic Airways flight from Zurich to Rome on October 26, 1967 was special, as was one of the passengers. Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras was on his way to his last meeting with Pope Paul VI, continuing the historical dialogue between the Catholic and Orthodox churches that had begun in 1964.

Forty years after her death, the personal life of opera great Maria Callas still has a rapt audience. 

An exhibition in Athens, called "Maria Callas - The Myth Lives On," is displaying 200 personal items belonging to the star, including some never put on display before, offering a rare glimpse into her personal life until her death in 1977.

A Brazilian website covering lifestyle has published a report claiming that the real reason Alvaro de Miranda Neto (Doda) broke up with granddaughter and heiress of legendary Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis, Athina Onassis was that she could not bear children.

The British newspaper Daily Mail claims that the heiress of Greek magnate Aristotle Onassis, Athina Onassis, decided to divorce Alvaro de Miranda Neto, known as ‘Doda,’ after he was caught cheating on her with the sister of an international equestrian.

Athina Onassis seems that she has become more extrovert than she was before as we often see photos of her and her family.

The granddaughter of Aristotle Onassis does not have her own account on social media, but we learn about her life through her husband’s Instagram account.

In a recent photo, Athena poses smiling while Doda is holding in his arm their dog.

Athena Onassis de Miranda, the French-Greek heiress of the Onassis fortune and the only surviving descendant of Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis has pretty much abandoned Greece after marrying Brazilian Olympic showjumper Alvaro de Miranda Neto in 2005. This, of course, comes as no surprise as she had stated that she felt “great aversion to anything Greek” from a young age.

Russian tycoon Dmitry Rybolovlev, owner of Skorpios island, was started by reports that state that the Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) government banned the free passage of vessels around Skorpios in order to fulfil his wishes.

German media is pointing to a fire-sale of Greek assets so that the country can generate cash to start paying off its enormous and possibly unmanageable debt, instead on relying on the usual modern Greek “formula” of taxing, taxing and then taxing wage-earners and pensioners some more.
