Valerie Vassilicos
ιδρυτή της Think Green Hellas
Humanist and lover of nature, bathed in the hotel industry since early childhood, I naturally accumulated professional experiences in different countries allowing me to implement a new hotel concept, environmentally friendly, energy-independent and producing 0 waste, while optimizing the ergonomics of the installations. With my desire to respect the environment, I decided to use my talents and skills to the development of ecological projects. From the hotel business to green building I now apply myself to develop and promote eco-technologies and natural building materials.
I also dedicate myself to the preservation of the ecosystems of the Megalo Rema Rafinas in order to protect the flora & fauna and create natural areas providing a venue for people to observe indigenous animals and plants.
