On 11 January 2018, he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Greek Super League club Panionios for an undisclosed fee.[7] He departed the club after one season, recording two assists in 15 games, due to the financial issues at the club.[8] On 18 February 2022, Makrillos joined Danish 1st Division club FC Fredericia on a deal for the rest of the season.[9] On 30 May 2022, the club confirmed that Makrillos was one out five players who would leave the club, as their contracts expired.[10]
