2022 Book Fair Exhibitor: Stellakis - Panagiota Andreadakis

Stelakis is a Hellenic brand specialising in children's bilingual (Greek/English) educational books and products.

Greek-Australian Panagiota Andreadakis, is a bilingual (Greek–English) children’s author residing in Melbourne, Australia.

After working for several decades as a health professional, Panagiota decided to pursue her true passion of Hellenic Culture & Children’s Education. Panagiota was inspired to write books as a way of preserving the wealth of Hellenic heritage and passing it onto the next generations with the same care and passion that it was given to her from her parents and grandparents.

Panagiota has always enjoyed being an active member of the vibrant Melbourne Greek Community. During her youth she was a senior member of a traditional Greek Dance Group and also did volunteer work within the Greek Community of Melbourne.

Inspired by her regular travels to Greece, her love for the Hellenic culture only grew deeper. It gave her the knowledge and skillsets that would help her in developing her idea and turning her dream into a career, bringing pieces of Greece into the readers hearts and homes.
