TAKIS MOSHOS
Takis Moschos was born in Chalkida but lived the last 18 years of his life in Skopelos. The actor after a long-suffering life with many cases of abuse found its “harbor” on the beautiful island of Sporades. Takis Moshos became famous for his role in the film “Sweet gang”, which was pioneering for its time.
As he said in an interview: “I left Athens because I was tired. At some point, I wasn’t going anywhere in any way. And Skopelos emerged, quite accidentally. I went a few summers, autumn I just decided to stay a little longer, then came winter and I did not want to leave, and finally, after the first winter, I got the hang of it, as they say. I am very lucky to have found this place that the wave threw me there, so I will not drown. ”
