Managing Director
Ursula
Ursula is the founder and heart of Ariadni. Her first visit to Lesvos in 2006 sparked a deep connection with the island, its history, environment, and unique charm.
She has been a steadfast presence during pivotal moments in Lesvos’s recent history, including the financial crisis of 2010, the refugee crisis of 2015, and the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. In each of these challenging times, Ursula sought ways to contribute and offer support wherever possible, which ultimately led to the founding of Ariadni Lesvos.
