Kathimerini (Greek: Η Καθημερινή, [i.kaθimeriˈni]; lit. 'The Daily') is a daily, political and financial morning newspaper published in Piraeus, Athens. Its first edition was printed on 15 September 1919.[2] Kathimerini is considered a newspaper of record[3] and the leading right-wing newspaper in Greece,[4] with the highest circulation[5] and a strong digital presence.
It is published in Greek and has an English edition, both print and digital. Kathimerini English Edition is published in Greece and Cyprus along with the New York Times International. Kathimerini also produces a wide range of leading magazines, including Vogue Greece with Conde Nast International and publications for The Walt Disney Company Greece.
Considered a high-quality[6] broadsheet, Kathimerini began as hard-line conservative, today however identifies with a broad range of the political spectrum, from traditional liberalism to the main conservative right,[7][8][9] while covering the positions and hosting analyses from all the main political parties and opinions from columnists with different points of view.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][excessive citations]

Kathimerini is a newspaper title with over 100 years of history.[17] It was founded by Georgios Vlachos, a prominent antivenizelist, in 1919 and was later inherited by his daughter Helen Vlachos (Eléni Vláchou) and her husband, retired submarine commander Constantine Loundras.[2] Kathimerini was traditionally perceived as one of the main[citation needed] conservative voices of Greek media.[7] The newspaper was highly critical of Eleftherios Venizelos in the early 20th century, and also opposed Georgios Papandreou in the postwar years.
It maintains a traditional layout, with its original griffin logo, and incorporates printed supplements in its Sunday edition. Eleni Vlachou sold the company shortly before her death to George Koskotas. Aristeidis Alafouzos,[2] bought Kathimerini newspaper in 1988, pulling it out of a spiral of decline to turn it into one of the country's leading dailies, both in terms of circulation and its influence on economic developments, with an international reputation. Throughout his life, Aristeidis Alafouzos entered the challenging businesses of construction, shipping and publishing and emerged champion in all three.[18]
In October 1995, Kathimerini was assessed as Greece's "nearest equivalant [sic] to a newspaper of record".[19] It was later considered a newspaper of record.[3]
Alafouzos died in 2017 and was succeeded by his son Themistoklis Alafouzos.[1]
