The funeral service for Athina (Nounou) Martinou, a key figure in modern Greek shipping, will be held in a private family ceremony at 1 pm on Monday at the Church of Panagia Faneromeni in Vouliagmeni.

Martinou, who passed away on Friday, was a globally respected figure in the maritime industry.

Known for her significant contributions to society and her humble demeanor, Martinou left a lasting legacy. The Athina I. Martinou Foundation highlights her passion for the sea and her dedication to serving the community: “ Her love for the sea was the starting point for the creation of the Foundation, with a mission to support communities connected to the maritime world.”

The Foundation described Martinou as someone who embraced life with the same respect and passion she had for the sea, facing its calm and turbulent moments alike. “Like the sea, Athina I. Martinou was never static-daring, ambitious, hardworking, and modest. She was the ‘Nounou’ of Greek shipping,” the Foundation noted.
