Andreas Lekatsas

Andreas Lekatsas was a Greek who was a native of the Greek island of Ithaca and was one of the first Greeks to migrate to Australia. He arrived in Melbourne before 1851 and initially moved to the goldfields of Ballarat. He soon found wealth, and a return journey to Ithaca inspired his nephews Anthony JJ Lucas and Marino Lucas to also move to Australia. Andreas may have taken part in the Eureka Stockade uprising,

The Lekatsas family (the name anglicised to Lucas) 'subsequently pioneered high-class restaurants in Melbourne'.
