The magazine Pages of Philenetheros presents a special report from 1991 titled “48 Hours with George Vassiliou,” documenting the then-President of the Republic's daily schedule. Journalist Aristos Michailidis and photographer Dimitris Vattis accompanied Vassiliou for two days, recording his meetings, visits to government offices, and personal moments, even at the gym. Vassiliou is portrayed as a tireless and unstoppable leader, working relentlessly and imposing his pace on all his associates. The only moment of relaxation was his breakfast, with a glass of water and lemon and reading newspapers. This report is considered one of the most impressive in the Pages, as Vassiliou paved the way for open communication with citizens, allowing an unretouched recording of his daily life. The publication is accompanied by photographs capturing moments from President Vassiliou's daily life, offering a rare glimpse into his presidency.
