Mr. Simitis was a low-key pragmatist where Papandreou was a charismatic, fiery populist, marking a significant shift in the Greek political landscape during their tenures.
Mr. Simitis considered Greece's entry into the euro zone as the signature achievement of his premiership, alongside securing the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
Despite his criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, Mr. Simitis's administration facilitated important reforms and infrastructure development in Greece during his time.
