'''Konstantinos Davakis''' was a Greek military figure during [[World War II]].

He was born in the village of Kechrianika, [[Laconia prefecture]] in [[1897]]. After graduating military school, he saw action in [[World War I]] and the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919 - 1922)]].

Davakis was a colonel when Italy attacked Greece in [[World War II]]. As commander of the [[Pindus detachment]], he successfully repelled the Italian Julia Alpinisti Division's attack in late October [[1940]] but was seriously injured in November of the same year, when he counter-attacked, nearly destroying it.

He was taken prisoner by the Italians in [[1942]] while still in hospital. As he was being taken to Italy, his boat was torpedoed and all aboard perished. He was buried in Avlona (Vlore). He was honoured posthumously with the silver medal of sacrifice by the Athens Academy.
