Αs Greece celebrates the 200th anniversary of its independence, shipping's influence is hard to overlook.
Festivities marking the event are being organised by Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki, a member of one of the nation’s wealthiest shipping families.
The estate of the late magnate Stavros Niarchos financed nearly one-third of the celebration’s showcase project — overhauling the National Gallery in Athens at a cost of $55m.
