About Gina Mamidaki

A longtime hotelier, who studied Economics and Business at the University of Athens, received an MSc from the University of Manchester, and completed specialized hotel courses at Cornell University and Harvard Business School, Gina Mamidaki proudly upholds her family’s legacy. Guided by strong family values, she always leads by example, combining her rich experience in hospitality with diverse life experiences, becoming the driving force behind Bluegr’s long-lasting success. Bluegr, under her creative vision, stands on solid foundations and core values such as Ethos, Integrity, Accountability, and Justice, which have played a fundamental role in the company’s success and perfectly reflect Gina Mamidaki’s commitment to hospitality excellence and sustainable growth. Staying true to her mantra “If we are what we repeatedly do, excellence is not an act but a habit”, Bluegr has become a pioneer in barefoot luxury, prioritizing sustainability, simplicity, innovation, and authentic guest experiences. Guided by a constant thirst for knowledge and a wholehearted belief in the inextricable connection between hospitality and culture, she established the George and Aristea Mamidakis Foundation, continuing to honor her parents’ love for culture and philanthropy. Through projects and initiatives Gina Miamidaki promotes and supports art, culture, education, and Crete’s rich heritage. Each of the Foundation’s projects and initiatives further explores the relationship between local traditions and contemporary theoretical and visual approaches—topics that inspire her—while positioning Crete at the center of the international cultural map.
