Shortly after this visit, he attended MP Christodoulos I. Stefanadis' house on the island for a quick stop along with a group of his closest advisors. Despite the efforts of Kyriakos Mitsotakis to keep a low profile during the visit, a substantial group of local supporters and passerby gathered outside the entrance of the house, forming a large public gathering at a time when the country was at a national lockdown and social distancing measures were in place.
