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.
