Our story since 1898
The foundation
Adamis Shipping Agency was the first agency in Crete founded in 1898 by John G. Adamis in Heraklion of Crete.
Afterwards, the children of the family John and Paideia Adami took the operation of the agency.
In 1950, Jason J.Adamis and his wife Artemis Adami undertook the company, who established the shipping department of the agency. This was a major beginning for the forthcoming way.
Their son, John Jas. Adamis continued the tradition, who is the manager of the agency since 1977 having covered an important and very successful career in shipping.
