Kalaitzis helped Panathinaikos win the 2000 and the 2002 Euroleague trophies, eight Greek championships and three Greek Cups. As a member of the Greek national teams, he won the gold medal at the 1995 World U-19 Championships and played at the 1997, 1999 and 2001 European Championships and at the 1998 World Championships.
