consideration of €10 million to build holiday homes and facilities destined for the exclusive
servicing of Amanzoe customers and villa owners. The consideration will be paid subject to

the acquisition of such an iconic project, the 4th in Greece and the 2nd fully operational,
reiterates our commitment to our goal of making Grivalia Hospitality the no1 investment
platform in high quality touristic real estate properties in Greece.

and on the other hand, on expanding the hotel's season for the entire year, taking advantage
of the synergies that will be created also with the Kilada Hills golf course".
Miltos Kambourides, founder and CEO of Dolphin Capital, stated:
"Amanzoe has been the last 6 years a landmark for high quality tourism not only for Greece
