‘Aesthetics’
Reveal An Elite
Part
Of Our (Partying) Life
Aesthetics in Motion
is a title as successful as one can find for an event such as the one splashed
the night of Thursday, November 7th in Soho’s COCO-MAT, which
allowed guests to indulge in the beauty of both Hellas and Cyprus and I might
add with the senses of beauty in sight and sound-not to forget that of taste. All the above, notwithstanding the sponsor’s
philosophy which is ‘indulging in the finer things in life for a deep
appreciation of humanity and nature.’
Having divulged their philosophy, might as well reveal that
the event was offered by the Orpheus Luxury Collection, the portfolio of which
introduces the pinnacle of ways in which to have the most pleasurable
sightseeing of the two countries mentioned above. The attractive and young Georgia Nomikos is the
president of Orpheus Jets and Yachts.
The space were the partry was held was aesthetically in
harmony with the purpose and the guests who attended. There were presentations of the travel
products. A bevy of beauties milling around the immaculately white large space,
many of them introducing their own view of Hellas and Cyprus in speeches made,
some of them ending in poetry, a segment of violin piece executed by
white-gowned Maria Manoussaki in rhythmic moves and being followed by two
drummers, augmented the elegance of the event attended by a set of high profile
guests. A video on the virtues of the two respective countries which Orpheus
Luxury Collection focuses as the special itineraries was also shown to the
delight of those attending.
But in highlighting the two-nation destinations, the
speakers also promoted these lands as fabulous luxury leisure or corporate objectives
and in doing so not only did they underscored their wares, the fleet of luxury
yachts and jets, but also the work of the Greek Tourist Organization, the
Cyprus Tourist Board, as well as the Greek Press and Communications office,
representatives of which were in attendance.
Even if the sights and sounds did not move one, there was
food by some of the most exclusive establishments to tap everyone’s epicurean
inner desires. There were samplings of gourmand morsels from the cuisines of at
least three major New York City establishments, Christos Christou’s Yefsi
Estiatorio on York Avenue, The Thirsty Koala Australian Artisan Cuisine at
Ditmars Boulevard in Astoria and Ethos 51st Gallery on the East side
of Manhattan. Naturally the wine, white and red, flowed non-stop during the
evening as did other regional drinks from the two lands.. The desserts,
courtesy of Artopolis, the pieces de resistance for many, were devoured in no
time at all.

This is not however to say that jets and yachts are not
available, which in fact are, worldwide. There are yacht cruises for leisure,
corporate and also for special events and the selection as well ranges in motor
yachts, motor sailers and sailing yachts. Services include Exclusive
Honeymoons, Destination Weddings, private yacht Honeymoon cruises, Exotic
Destinations, and Culinary and Wine adventures. There are customized
itineraries with full on-board state-of-the-art facilities. It also must be
emphasized that the company’s Yachts and Jets are equipped with the highest
possible safety standards and specifications. Furthermore, they meet all
required regulations in the countries of operation.
All this was explained in lofty terms and in good taste.
The Program presented by Master of
Ceremony Christos Alexandrou and Program Director was Lefteris
Giovanidis. Moreover, as guests left this memorable
party, they received a bag full of goodies.
