Nikos Kyriakidis has passed away at the age of 54 after a hard-fought battle with cancer. The news about the actor, best remembered by TV audiences for his role as “Nionios” in the series “Konstantinou kai Elenis,” was shared by Spyros Bibilas in a Facebook post.

It appears that the actor’s wish was to be cremated rather than buried, as announced by Spyros Bibilas. His final farewell will be said by family, friends, and colleagues from the acting world on the morning of Saturday, August 3, at the Ritsona crematorium.

“So unfair! Our beloved colleague and good friend Nikos Kyriakidis left us so early at the age of 54, struck down by cancer in just six months. We will bid him farewell on Saturday morning at the Ritsona crematorium. Known from the series ‘Konstantinou kai Elenis’ and the iconic voice of the beloved children’s hero SpongeBob SquarePants! Safe travels, Nikos…” wrote Spyros Bibilas.
