John Consolas 1996

Campion alumnus John Consolas (1996) studied architecture at Bath University (1997-2003), Architectural Photography at London College of Communication (2006) and European Property Development and Planning at UCL (2006-2009).

John then went on to work as an architect in London, New York and Athens. He has also worked as a project manager for large commercial developments in Greece and Romania.  John continued to occasionally work in the family hostel business until one day he decided to combine all his talents and make a little bnb of his own in central Athens.

John’s hotel is called the Alice Inn Athens and has been open for about a year. The concept is a boutique bnb with a very cosy, homelike feel. It comprises four small apartments in a neoclassical townhouse in Plaka near to Syntagma Square and the Acropolis.

Apartments are available for short and long term stays (3 days to 3 months).

International clientele ranges from visiting academics to hip young couples to relocating expats, generally people with taste who don't want the typical hotel experience.

Bob Goes to the Acropolis.

This is a lovely short documentary created by Stella Kyriakopoulos who graduated in 2000. It's about a blind man from Illinois and how a trip to Greece affected his life. Stella is a graduate student in film at NYU and has entered this short film in the Greek America Foundation film contest. Let's hope she wins! Help Stella by clicking 'like' on Youtube.

Katerina Spetsiou and UpGreek Tourism

Katerina Spetsiou, Campion alumna 1999, just finished a fundraising campaign for UpGreek Tourism in the UK. Kate, a practising architect who lives in London, aimed to raise 12,000 pounds to erect a billboard on Piccadilly Circus in February to boost Greek tourism this summer.

Kate and her two team members, Anita Demetriou (Campion alumna 1999) and Katerina Ioannou, were working with a campaign concept that originated last year in the US which received worldwide coverage on CNN.  To read an article in lifo.gr related to the campaign, click on the link below.
