Minister of Tourism

ay by day Greek tourism conquers the posi-

tion it deserves on the international tourist

map. We carry on with this attempt through

initiatives, activities and co-coordinated

actions with the various market bodies.

We are focusing on infrastructure, on the qualitative upgrade,

on the even higher-standard provision of services and on the

development of special forms of tourism.

We highlight the various areas of the country in collaboration with

the decentralized administration and we keep in touch with all

the big overseas markets, of course. Great Britain has always

been one of the best supporters of Greek tourism. The British

are among the top visitors of the country. They love Greece, they

are aware of what it has to offer and I reckon that they notice the

progress Greece is making, which gradually moves beyond the

borders of tourism and extends in other fields as well. WTC is

a major tourist event. We are participating as we do every year.

We are in contact with all the tourism-related agents.

This year, however, there is a difference. We have advanced

significantly, we have gained the ground we lost and we are

counting a significant increase in arrivals and revenue. We are

certain that Greek tourism is moving on to another era. Today

we are even more hard-working aiming at the improvement of

the field and that of the Greek economy.

reece is one of the world’s most popular

tourism destinations and its Brand Identity

remains among the strongest in the world.

Statistics so far, depicting the tourist flow

towards Greece, prove that our competitive

advantage, authenticity, is truly invincible.

Greece’s naturally blessed sceneries, in combination with mod-

ern tourism infrastructure, attracted millions of tourists in 2013.

A lot of “loyal” visitors choose Greece as their holiday destination,

while new friends get enthusiastic and become “repeaters”.

The Ministry of Tourism and the Greek National Tourism Orga-

nization do study all these positive trends that take place in a

volatile economic situation evolving in Europe. Tourism is one

of the most sensitive sectors, directly correlated with the major

social and financial circumstances.

With caution and thoughtfulness, a necessary strategy for the

years to come is being built. We all have to be pro-active and use

all our strengths and means to add value to the most exposed

asset of the Greek Economy, Tourism.

GNTO’s participation in WTM 2013, in collaboration with our

exceptional co-exhibitors from the Greek tourism private and

public sector, aims to reinforce our reputation to the European

and global market and sustain the competitiveness of Greece’s

Brand Name. Santorini, celebrating the “Year of Gastrono-

my” and the Region of Attica, will be highlighted in this year’s

GNTO’s stand.

As GNTO’s Secretary General, I am committed to the common

cause and I am honored to be part of a dynamic effort that aims

to achieving these goals and upgrade both our Tourism product

and our Brand Name.

Secretary General Greek National Tourism Organisation

Georgios Tsakiris

President of the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels

013 was an exceptional year for Greek Tourism.

More than 17 million visitors spent their holidays

in Greece. It is true that our country functioned more

efficiently and consequently it is in a much bet-

ter position this year than last year- in terms of

tourism- as regards its international image as a

tourist attraction. At the same time, everyone in Greece acknowl-

edges that tourism is that sector of the economy and an activity

that can support the national economy and pull the country out

of the crisis, which will have a particularly positive effect on the

tourist product provided.

This year Greece offered its visitors significant experiences

through several different enriched products, which made their

stay in the country enjoyable.

At the same time, our country, in an international tourist envi-

ronment of tough competition, offers a particularly upgraded

product in terms of services and hotel infrastructure, in an atmo-

sphere of certainty for the safe and unhindered completion of

our visitors’ holidays..

Bearing this in mind, I consider this year to have been an excep-

tionally successful tourist year, which creates well-founded hope

to all of us for the continuation of a good course in 2014 as well.

We expect to be offering our services to even more visitors with

the same consistency and steady quality.

President of the Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises

Andreas Andreadis

year ago, our country, then trapped in a dual

pre-election process, was essentially fin-

ished as part of the Euro zone. The markets

considered ‘Grexit’ a given fact, the Greek

people looked on in horror, expecting the

worst, the global community had isolated us, and tourist reserva-

tions had frozen. Riot images were bombarding the international

media and Greece had a severe image crisis to deal with. Today,

the landscape has changed. The 2013 tourism season will appar-

ently break all the records reaching 17.5 million international visi-

tors and € 11.5 billion international receipts.

It is a fact that the tourism sector is growing faster than the rest

of the Greek economy. According to the World Travel and Tourism

Council, for the last decade we are “traveling” with an increase of

4,4%, as far as the tourism GVA is concerned, when the total Greek

GVA is increased by 3,9% the same period. Our direct contribution to

GDP is 8% and if we add the indirect contribution, during 2012, tour-

ism sector contributed to a total 16.5% at GDP and 18.5% to employ-

ment. Following McKinsey’s “Greece 10 years ahead” report, by

2021, Greece may grow by 59%, adding €49 billion in today’s GVA.

Tourism sector will contribute with 37% of that growth giving €18

billion to the total.

These figures and estimations are making us optimistic that our

sector has a great future ahead of us. A future that should have a

clear vision and a thorough designed strategy. The key objective

remains to be able to respond to the necessary levels of safety,

sanitation and services, in order to lay the groundwork for con-

tinuous progress.

ear Visitor and Friend,

Greek tourism has its queen and that is Rho-

des.

We have been welcoming millions of visitors

from all over the world on this unique island for

many years.

Our number one visitors are our friends from the United Kingdom and

they give us the opportunity to give then a warm welcome, to know them

in person so well that they call us by our first name.

The queen of Greek tourism and the United Kingdom have built a relation-

ship of trust. Because they all know that their holidays in Rhodes is for us

a personal bet that we wish to win every year, every single day.

Every visitor is also a unique friend and we work all year round to make sure

we give him what he desires: the experience of enjoying the queen!

The magical scenery, the crystal-blue waters of the Aegean, our rich cul-

tural heritage, the ultramodern tourist and hotel facilities and the experi-

enced people and professionals in the field, can guarantee that your stay

is going to be truly special and unforgettable.

All this is a really remarkable and economical quality-price relation that

makes the beauty and luxury of Rhodes affordable to more and more

friends in the United Kingdom.

It makes the trip to Rhodes a real opportunity for a unique experience

from every aspect.

Dear Visitor and Friend,

Visit our island for a unique holiday experience in Rhodes.

It is going to win your heart.

It is going to seduce you. It is going to fascinate you. It is going to capti-

vate you.

It is certain that when the farewell moment comes, you will swear you are

coming back. The queen is always here, for you!

EditorialThis year’s WTM is a vindication for all the agents of Greek tour-ism who tried and achieved Greece’s grand comeback - despite the exceptionally unfavorable conditions - as one of the “elite” interna-tional tourist destinations.

Tourist travelers, among whom the British dominated, honored Greece in 2013 with their preference and therefore decisively con-tributed to the recovery of Greek tourism.

Greek hotel owners outdid themselves by offering particularly high-standard services and unique hospitality to our special guests.

2014 is going to be even better.

There are going to be even better services and more unique expe-riences.

Because Greece has been a unique experience since the begin-ning of time.

On the other hand, it has already been 10 years since the first spe-cial edition of MONEY & TOURISM for World Travel Market.

Ten creative years with ongoing efforts, concerns, sorrows and joys.

Our course has been perfectly parallel to that of Greek tourism.

We are celebrating our 10th birthday in favorable timing and this is very important.

We are expecting you in 2014 for some unforgettable holidays in Greece.

You are more than welcome.

10 years!!!

ATTICATHE GREEK RIVIERA

acy shores, seas clean as a whis-

tle, scenic beaches, natural coves

and voes, forests and

plains, holy rocks with

a great historical past. These and a lot more

compose the image of the Attica land. The

landscape alternations, the modern sub-

structures and the potential of alterna-

tive activities are the advantages of Attica

as a tourist destination. These important

advantages have styled fairly Attica as the

“Greek Riviera”. Athens, capital of Attica

and since 1834 capital of Greece, is a city

with thousands of aspects.

Athens is the birthplace of civilisation and

it gives each visitor the opportunity to trav-

el into time. The magic travel with desti-

nation past begins from the holy rock of

Acropolis, one of the most glorious monu-

ments of the world and Parthenon, with its

marvelous Caryatides. It continues to the

archaeological site of Pnika, where Eccle-

sia convened, one of the first democratic

corps in the world, to the Agora (Athens’s

Ancient Market), with the impressive Tem-

ple of Hephaestus and the Stoa of Attalos,

to the Theatre of Herodes Atticus, which

is now used as a spectacular venue and

finally to the Cemetery Keramikos.

The city of Athens is a hypaethral muse-

um, given that in every place of the city the

archaeological excavations have discov-

ered finds from every period. Finds from

the Byzantine period were found in the city,

as well as in the wider area.

More specifically, in Plaka there are some

of the most ancient Byzantine monuments

of Athens. The museums of the city are full

of the archaeological treasure of Athens,

such as the museum of Acropolis, one

of the best museums in the world, in the

National Archaeological Museum, in the

Museum of Byzantine Art etc.

The Parliament is also impressive at the

Syntagma Square, but all visitors are

attracted by the change of guard in the

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, beneath

the Parliament. Downtown, the historical

triangle with the old neighbors of Plaka,

Thisio, Psiri, the open-air market of Mona-

stiraki and the archaeological sites, attracts

hundreds of visitors each day.

At the Syntagma Square, where the main

station of metro is situated, one can find

the “heart” of the trade in life of the city,

which extends to Kolonaki, one of the most

famous areas Of Athens filled with trade

life, nightlife and culture.

Piraeus is half an hour away from the

centre of Athens, the first port of Greece.

Piraeus is a city that has nothing to be jeal-

ous of Athens. It is famous for its ouzeri

restaurants and its fish taverns next to the

sea, in the areas of Mikrolimano, Freatida

and Piraiki.

The archaeological treasure of the city is

inexhaustible. One of the most remarkable

monuments is the mark of the ancient cir-

cumvallation at the marina of Zeas, one of

the biggest marines of the Mediterranean

today and along the shores of Piraiki. Fur-

thermore, the finds of an ancient theatre

of the 2nd century in Pasalimani and the

Public Theatre is also impressive. It’s a

neo-classical building in the centre of the

town. The region of Attica is divided in the

East, West, North and South. In the East

coast, the seaside areas of Vravrona and

Porto Rafti attract hundreds of visitors dur-

ing the summer time, as well as Rafina,

the second important port of Attica. Also,

Oropos is a famous resort area.

West Attica, which extends from the shores

of Saronic Bay to the Corinthian Gulf, it has

beautiful villages with clean beaches. Agioi

Theodori, Kineta, Alepohori, Porto Germeno

are some of these villages.

North Attica extends to the roots of the

mountains Parnitha and Penteli, which are

remarkable “lungs” of oxygen. The areas

of Kifisia, Ekali, Nea Erithrea and Drosia,

are green and some of the most benefited

areas of Attica, as Penteli and Parnitha.

South Attica, with the beautiful beaches

is one of the most expensive areas of the

region Especially, Varkiza, Voula, Vouliag-

meni, Kavouri and Glyfada are consid-

ered as the top suburban areas. Sounio,

with the Temple of Poseidon, which is one

of the most beautiful temples of antiq-

uity, the amazing sunset and the clean

sea, is a famous resort area. The islands

of Argosaronic Bay are included in the

region of Attica, very close from Athens. In

the cosmopolitan Spetses, Hydra, Poros,

Salamina, Aigina, Agistri, Methana one

can enjoy weekend journeys and sallies

with boats.

GreeceDodecanese - Cyclades,pearls scattered on the

azure of the Mediterranean!If you happen to sail the islands of the South Aegean, do you

expect to meet the mythical mermaid that is said to plough the crystal clear waters asking if you have met her brother,

Alexander the Great? For the waters of the Greek Polynesia, are the jewel of the Mediterranean in all its glory. Cyclades

and Dodecanese are a perfect mix of taste and pleasure. You can sift through their ingredients, not to declare which

one is the more delicious but to crave more of their mouth-watering delights. With over 150 islands and islets and more than 5000 kilometres of coastline, beaches and whitewashed churches, the south Aegean is paradise for

those who seek it. We have a great number of Coves, bays and harbours, for you to Explore, a true cosmopolitan life. Every island, a di�erent choice and only one life to live it.

So much to see, so short a life....waste no time in getting there.

Utopia exists!

SOUTH AEGEAN

he South Aegean region is

one of the thirteen admin-

istrative regions of Greece.

Administration includes the

prefectures of Cyclades and Dodecanese.

CycladesSome dots in the Greek map, other small and

other big, but very important for the civili-

sation and history, but also for the tourist

development of the country, Cyclades, are

located for many decades in the centre of

interest and they are a vacation destination

for many Greek and foreign tourists.

The Cycladic cultural treasure, one of the

most ancient Mediterranean civilisation, the

rare geomorphologic site, that consists of

rocky hills, the ”naked” mountains, the gold-

en beaches and the amazing seashores of

the 56 islands (Cyclades), the gastronomy.

The tradition in combination with the devel-

oped, in some of the islands, hotel and tour-

ist substructure, have discriminated Cycla-

des as one of the top Greek tourist destina-

tions. Santorini, Myconos, Syros, Andros,

Tinos, Dilos, Paros, Antiparos, Naxos, Irak-

lia, Sxinousa, Koufonisia, Keros, Antikeros,

Daskalio, Donousa, Amorgos, Folegandros,

Sikinos, Ios, Anafi, Kea (or Jia), Kithnos,

Kimolos, Milos, Serifos, Sifnos and lots of

other small islands, in the centre of Aegean

Pelagos offer a unique experience of vaca-

tions for all tastes.

Santorini is one of the most popular islands

not only in national level, but also in Euro-

pean one. In 2001, the readers of the maga-

zine: “Travel and Leisure”, which is circulat-

ed worldwide, asset of American Express,

elected Santorini as the most popular island

in Europe. As the ship closes, the visitor

is amazed from the white houses and the

sheer rocks, as they look like they come out

from the frothy waves. The history of the

island is connected with the history of the

volcano, whereas its name was given from

the church of Agia Irini (Saint Irene), which

is located in Thirasia, a neighbor island.

Capital of Santorini, built with unique way in

the rocks is Thira, where it is worth visiting

the archaeological museum, the museum

of the pre-historic Thira, with plant fossils,

the Belonio cultural Centre, with important

scripts and historical books. The view of the

volcano from Kaldera is cut breathing and

the view of the island from Imerovigli is also

spectacular, while seeing the traditional

dorps with the distinguishable houses.

One of the islands, a symbol of the interna-

tional jet set is Myconos, which attracts hun-

dreds of visitors every year. It is known for

its nightlife and entertainment that provides.

However, Myconos is not only that. There, it

is worth visiting the church of Paraportiani

and of course, the ”Little Venice”. Famous

beaches are Paradise and Super Paradise,

where crazy parties take place and they last

even for 24 hours. For more quiet places,

the beaches of Agios Stefanos and Agios

Giannis of Elia are proposed.

Touring


Syros is the capital and the administrative

centre of Cyclades. It met growth, especially

at the end of 18th and ion the beginning of

the 19th century. The “Lady of Cyclades” as

it named with the well-preserved mansion-

houses, roads paved with slabs, picturesque

villages and crystal waters impress the

visitors at once.

Capital of the island and the first trade port

of the country during the last century is Her-

moupoli. The European essence of the city is

spared everywhere, with the neo-classical

buildings and the renovated mansion- build-

ings, which however, come to a harmony

with the white houses with the blue doors

and windows. In Hermoupoli, one should

visit the public theatre Apollo, miniature of

the opera house in Milan and the church of

Agios Nikolaos the rich with the two church

towers. Hermoupoli provides a lot of enter-

tainment and leisure facilities. Apart from

the casino and the nightclubs, during the

year theatrical and cinema shows, cultural

events etc. take place

DodecaneseQuite islands, far away from tourism reality,

they still preserve traditions and folkways,

while at the same time they are cosmopoli-

tan with a European air. The Dodecanese.

Rhodes, Kos, Astipalea, Karpathos, Kalim-

nos, Kasos, Kastelorizo, Lipsi, Leros, Nisiros,

Patmos, Simi, Tilos, Halki. They are simply

dots in the Greek map. An island complex,

so same and at the same time so different,

which looks like it is between two worlds,

the world of primeval nature and the other

one of nightlife.

The Dodecanese offer visitors non-stop

experiences and it is certain that they will not

be bored, not even for a moment. The scen-

ery is rough and steep in some places, but

peaceful in others. Sandy beaches follow the

rocky beaches with the deserted coves and

the steep mountains are the most appro-

priate places for hiking. The most famous

island of the Dodecanese is Rhodes.

One of the most popular islands is Kos, or

in other words the island of Ipokratis. It is

the third largest island of the Dodecanese

complex, featuring long beaches, crystal

seawaters and luxuriant vegetation. The

capital and the main port is the city of Kos,

which was rebuild after the catastrophic

earthquake of 1933 from the Italian con-

querors. The entire archaeological sites,

which are spread in the city fill with awe

every visitor. As the ship moves closer to

the port, the Venetian castle and the ruins

of the market along the port can amaze the

visitors. Also, the platan of Ipokratis and the

Turkish mosques are some of the sites of

the island. The city of Kos is a modern city,

with vivid nightlife, which is at a peak during

summer time. There are a lot of magnificent

beaches. For example, in Kardamena the

bathers will enjoy the sun and the sea, as

well as in Mastihari, Tigaki, Marmari and

somewhere else.

CRETE

rossway of the age-

long seaways of Med-

iterranean, birthplace

of Zeus (father of the

Gods of Olympus) and of Minoan civilisation,

one of the oldest ones in Europe, with palace-

cities in Knossos, Phaistos, Malia and Zakros.

The trip to the island is unforgettable and full

of surprises. Starting from the region of Hania,

which is the most western part of the island,

the visitor is surprised from the following

pictures: endless sandy beaches, rough can-

yons, caves, native animals and indigenous

plants, long olive and orange groves, villages

forgotten from time, dispersed churches and

monasteries, towers and castles.

The old city in Hania attracts the interest of the

visitors, which is situated over and around the

hill of Kastelli, built in the ruins of the Minoan

Kidonia and surrounded by the Venetian Wall

and the sea. As a cultural centre, it attract-

ed important scientists, philosophers, poets

and artists, whereas during the Venetian and

Turkish occupation, the cohabitation of people

of different nationality, culture and religion

(Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Jews and

Mussulmans) has left deep “scars” and made

remarkable creations. It is worth noticing that

in the borders of the city with Acrotiri, there are

found the graves of Eleftherios and Sofocles

Venizelos. In the under populated mainland

of Hania, there are villages, such as Vamos,

Kastelli, Milia and Keramia that evidence the

simplicity and the distinctiveness of Cretan

life and nature, by providing an unforgettable

stay, while at the same time in South the area

of Fragokastello, one of the most astonishing

beaches of Mediterranean amazes with the

Venetian castle and the legend of the magical

shadows (Drosoulites). Protected areas from

hunting, parks and biotopes (the lake of Agias,

Kourna, Gavdos and Gavdopoula islands, Ela-

fonisi), the most magnificent canyon of Europe,

the Canyon of Samaria and more than 1.500

sea caves or not attract visitors, who discover

hidden natural beauties, enjoy nature as they

have never before and they experience folk-

ways next to real people.

The municipality of Rethimno follows. It is the

most alp area of Crete. It is an area with con-

tradictions, with great history and legacy, nat-

ural beauty and living traditions. In the centre

part of the island and between the mountain

of Psiloriti and the White Mountains, there

were found archaeological finds, specimens

of ancient and recent civilizations, in a land

where the past changes into present and

inspires tomorrow. The tourist can be guid-

ed in the nearest places from the capital of

Rethymnon (Rethymnon city) with the Fortez-

za fortress, the Catholic monastery of Agios

Fragiskos and the five mosques (Impraim

Han mosque, Neratzes, Kara Mousa Pasa,

Megali Porta, Veli Pasa mosque).

The Arkadios monastery stands out. It is the

most revolutionary centre during the Turkish

occupation and the Prevelis monastery that

apart from the monastery it also has a para-

dise sea. In Anogia, built in Psiloritis, one can

Touring


visit the cave, where Olympian Zeus was born,

according to the Mythology and everyone can

enjoy the cool sea in Bali and Agia Galini.

Heraklio is a place where surprises succeed

one another and the land has unique beauty

and contrasts. It is rough and “naked” in some

parts, but filled with forests in other ones,

with plenty of villages, monasteries, castles,

churches on the mountains, ancient stuff and

drywalls. Unadulterated from the modern life,

it combines uniquely the Cretan hospitality and

confirms that the most original descendants

of Xenias Zeus are still residents of this place.

Heraklio is the biggest urban unit and the big-

gest economic centre and the capital of Crete’s

region. It is the birthplace of Dominikos The-

otokatos, but also birthplace of an important

man of letters concerning literary Cretan tra-

dition, Nikos Kazantzakis. In the streets, the

squares of the city, the market, the Venetian

port, the museums and in the churches, the

visitor will discover a city that through the valu-

able experience of the past is searching for

something new, by offering magic and vital-

ity. In Heraklio, the powers and the expres-

sions of nature gain human characteristics

and change into mythical characters. Every

spring, in the holy mountain of Idis, the father

of Gods, Zeus, is reborned. Also, the ecosys-

tems that are growing in the alp parts of Her-

aklio are of great interest, because they are

rich in flora and fauna. Lasithi, the east side

of Crete and the most southwestern part of

Europe, has a 5.000 years tradition. It extends

near endless variform shores and it is situ-

ated near desert islands with cedars (Chrisi)

and historical monuments (Koufonisi). It has

olive groves and vineyards and is lost in can-

yons, caves and crests. It provides table-lands

(Lasithi, Katharo) and natural creeks (Eloun-

ta) for relaxation. One can pray in picturesque

little churches, monasteries and in peaks of

the mountains. Climbers and ramblers wor-

ship it. One can smell the orange trees, the

thyme, the sage and the wild flowers. One can

also visit the cave Dikeon Andron, where Zeus

was born, according to mythology and later

he carried beautiful Europe from the shores

of Asia. Small and beautiful towns filled with

age-old flavors and scents, traditional ele-

ments, absolute peace and savage unadul-

terated scenery with lots of interspersions in

vegetation and a large variety of rare species.

However, there is a cosmopolitan air and a

vivid nightlife.

Lasithi with the endless beaches and the pic-

turesque cities is situated next to the blue and

crystal waters of Cretan and Libyan sea. Its

seashores vary. Some are sandy, some have

white pebbles, some are deserted or filled with

phoenixes (Vai) and others are organised or

cosmopolitan. One can live in the cities, such

as Agios Nikolaos, the capital, with scenic

open view to Elounta and Spinaloga, Sitia with

a unique rhythm of life and new experiences

and Hierapetra, the southern city of Crete that

preserves the atmosphere and the “old-age

neighborhood”, combining at the same time

new challenges for every visitor.

NORTHERN GREECE

eing a «melting - pot»

of disparate cultures

as early as the ancient

years, appearing as a

realy «endowed» land in every way and pos-

sessing a really deep-rooted history and a

unique natural wealth, Northern Greece

charms every visitor, as it provides them

generously with plenty of opportunities to

wonder in the real depths of history and

tradition.

The journey to Northern Greece begins in

Macedonia and it is completed in the bor-

dering Thrace. From an administrational

point of view, Macedonia is divided to three

parts, Central, Western and Eastern Mace-

donia. In Central Macedonia, the first area

in every visitor’s itinerary is Imathia Per-

fecture, in which «Seli» and «Pigadia of

Naoussa» Ski Centers can be found. Apart

from these two Centers, Aliakmona’s Val-

ley, some bushy green mountains and the

well known Vergina Archeological Site lure

each visitor. Veria is the capital of Imathia

Perfecture, a city spread out in the foot of

Vermion mountain. Among other worth vis-

iting cities, one could point out Naoussa, an

overwhelmingly green city with its famous

waterfalls, Kastania, a lovely mountain vil-

lage on Vermion hill sides and «Kato Ver-

mio», a worth mentioning winter resort

of the broader area. One of the most well

known Perfectures of Greece is Thessa-

loniki Perfecture. The city of Thessaloniki,

also known as «The bride of Thermaikos

Gulf», is Perfecture’s Capital, it is consid-

ered as «The Co-Capital» of Greece and, at

the same time, it is aknowledged as one of

most important ports in Greece. The famous

«White Tower» is considered as the city’s

«trademark», while its rooftop can be used

a standing point in order to enjoy a unique

view on Thermaikos Gulf. While in Thes-

saloniki, one can visit St. Dimitrios church,

lots of interesting museums and of course

«Rotonda», a monument dated around 300

p.d., as well as Galerios Arch. The towns

of Perea, Agia Triada, Nea Mixaniona and

Stavros have become area’s major tourism

resorts, while the town of Nea Apollonia is

famous for its hot springs. Really close to

Thessaloniki, one could find Chalkidiki, one

of the most beautiful places in the whole

greek territory, an «endowed» land in any

way. Chalkidiki area is formed by three thin,

pine-clad peninsulas with 550.000 metres

of sea shores. In this area, one can visit

ancient cities, prehistoric cages, Byzintine

convents, modern seaside towns, elements

of the greater «puzzle picture» of Chalkidi-

ki land. The city of Poligyros is the capital

of Chalkidiki Perfecture, a city spread out

in an amphitheatrical shape, on the foot of

Cholomontas mountain. Nearby, one could

find Arnaia, an area characterized as «his-

toric land» by Ministry of Culture, whereas

at a close distance, there is Olynthos with its

well known archeological site. Also known

tourism resorts in the same area cities

Touring


such as Kassandra, Kallithea, Nea Mou-

dania, Nea Kallikratia, Ouranoupolis and

Ammouliani. Of course, well known at a

global basis is «Mount Athos» or the «Gar-

den of Virgin Mary» as it is often called in

Greece, a well respected monastic state, in

which entrance is denied to women. Doirani

lake, Axios river and the whole bushy green

landscape are some of the advantages of

Kilkis Perfecture. Capital of trhis Perfecture

is the city of Kilkis, a beautiful city built on

the foot of St George’s hill. The surounding

environment is excellent, whereas there are

lots of places of interest. Also, a visitor can

be attracted by places such as «Metalliko»

village, which was named after its famous

mineral water source, «Pikrolimni», where

is situated the first «clay therapy» Center in

the whole Balkan area, «Axioupolis» with

its fertile valley of Axios river and the pic-

turesque town of «Goumenissa». As for the

neighbouring Perfecture of Pella, the whole

area is characterized by its inexhaustible

natural and cultural wealth. Edessa is the

capital of this Perfecture, a city which over-

looks the whole macedonian valley. The

city of Edessa is also known for its famous

waterfalls. Almost 50 Klm away from Edes-

sa, one can find Pella with its famous arche-

ological site. Besides that, visitors find also

appealing the area of «Black Forest» with

its amazing trekking passages in «Voras»

hillsides, its Ski Center in «Kaimaktsalan»

location and «Vegoritida» lake. Passing to

Pierias Perfecture, the «scenary» is formed

by Kilometres of sandy coastlines, Olym-

pus Mount which is the higher mountain

of Grecce and, according to Greek mythol-

ogy, it was also the formal residence of 12

Gods. Besides that, the same Perfecture

is the land of Pieria Mountains, residence

of the Muses according the same mythol-

ogy, as well as the land where archeologi-

cal site of Dion is situated. The capital of this

Perfecture is Katerini, a city built between

Olympus Mount and Pieria Mountains. The

aquatic habitats of Delta, Aliakmonas and

Pinios rivers, the sea shores of Litochoro,

Leptokaria, Platamonas, Gritsa, Skotina

and Makrigyalos, the ancient monuments

og Pydna, as well as the traditional settle-

ments of Pieria Mountains provide a «pack-

age» that offers to each visitor a lot of oppor-

tunities to act in many ways.

When it comes to Western Macedonia part,

the first Perfecture to came across is that of

Grevena. The rich flora, the unspoiled for-

ests, the National Preserve of Pindos Moun-

tains with its well known «Valia Kalnta»,

as well as the water sources and water-

falls create a unique nutural ensemble. The

city of Grevena is the capital of the Perfec-

ture, a cirty situated at tha same spot with

the ancient city of Elimaia. The «Perivoli»

location, a place nearly 50 Klms away from

Grevena, attracts lots of visitors thanks to

«Valia Kalnta» area, to Ski Center of Vasil-

itsa, to Samarina area, as well as to Val-

ia Kirna spot. The Perfecture of Kastoria


with its high mountains and its famous

lake, provides a sense of an unprecedent-

ed beauty. Perfecture’s capital is the city of

Kastoria, a city spread out along the banks

of the homonym lake, which has already

been declared as a «monument of natural

beauty». In the city, as well as in the whole

Perfecture, there are factories processing

fur coats and woven items. A village named

«Nostimo» whith its unique petrified palm

trees and Nestorio, which is situated on the

banks of Aliakmonas river, are considered

as the main attractions for the visitors of

the area. Kozani Perfecture is also consid-

ered as one of the most «endowed» lands

of Macedonia. The whole «picture» is com-

posed by a complex of mountains and lake

shore areas. The city of Kozani is the capi-

tal of this Perfecture, a city with old styled

mansions and narrow paths on one hand

and modern building surrounded by busy

streets on the other hand. It is worth men-

toning that besides all that, the city is aslo

known for its famous carnival. In the near-

by area, one can find the beautiful towns of

Velvendo, Siatista with its many mansions

and Vlasti, a mountain village «flooded» in

greenery. In Florina Perfecture, the land-

scape is often said «magic». Little and Big

Prespa, the twin lake area wich is consid-

ered one of the most important aquatic

habitat in Greece, the traditional village

of Nymphaion, as well as the picturesque

island St Achillios, create a unique «sce-

nary». The city of Florina is the capital of

the Perfecture, a city situated on the foot of

Varnountas Mount. Apart from these areas,

the picturesque «scenary» is completed by

the brown bear shelter, 1 Klm away from

Nymphaion village, as well as the pictur-

esque shore villages around Prespes lakes.

Going far east, we reach Drama Perfecture.

The high mountains is Perfecture’s main

characteristic, with «Falakro» mount being

the leading one, considering that it’s the

mount where the homonym Ski Center is

situated. The city of Drama is Perfecture’s

capital, a modern city which, at the same

time, preserves unchanged many of its tra-

ditions. Neurokopi village, also known for

its low temperature record during winter,

Paranesti village with its hot springs and

Prossotsani with its Maara cage, are some

of Perfecture’s well known places. Kavala

Perfecture combines brillianlty mountain

with sea related delights. The city of Kavala

is the capital of this Perfecture and is a mod-

ern city with interesting night life, amphi-

theatrically built on the foot of «Simvolo»

hill. It is worth visiting the ancient castle,

on the top of the hill, in order to admire the

splendit view. The cities Eleftheroupolis,

Keramoti, Nea Peramos with their beauti-

ful beaches are some of the most reputed

tourstic resorts in the area, whereas the cit-

ies of Philippoi, a very important city from an

archeological point of view and Chrysoupo-

lis, attract hundreds of visitors every year.

Close to thbe city of Kavala, one can find

the pretty island of Thasos, which is really

overwhelmed every summer by the hun-

dreds of its visitors. The town of Limenas

is the capital of Thasos. The Perfecture of

Serres is really famous for its aquatic habi-

tat in Kerkini lake, the Lailia forest, the hot

springs in Nigrita, as well as the ancient

city of Amphipolis. The city of Serres is the

capital of the Perfecture, a city that stands

also an important commercial and indus-

trial hub, presenting at the same time a

vivid folklore tradition.

The mosques in the turkish neighbourhood

add a very special characteristic to the city.

Worth visiting places are, among others,

Alistrati with its famous gorge of Aggitis,

Amphipolis, Nigrita with its thermal sources

and Sidirokastro, next to the fertile valley of

Strymonas river. Thrace have always been

considered as a crossing point between East

and West, as well as a «bridge» of commu-

nication between Europe and the Balkan

area. The first Perfecture to meet during

one’s course to Thrace is Xanthi. The unique

beauty of the nature in spots like the Nes-

tos river, the beech forest in Arkoudorema,

the aquatic habitat of Vistonida lake and the

little fishing village in Porto Lagos cause

nothing but excitment. The city of Xanthi

is the capital of this Perfecture, a city with

a clock tower as a «trademark». The loca-

tion of ancient Avdira, built in 545 a.d., the

pictoresque Stauroupolis and the Pomak

villages, spread out to the right and left of

Exinos valley, complete the very interesting

«picture». Passing on Rodopi Perfecture,

every visitor is amazed by this peaceful co-

existance of Orthodox Christians, Pomaks

and Muslims of turkish origin. Komotini is

the capital of Perfecture, a city that is con-

sidered as the «heart» of Greek Thrace. The

cities of Ergani, Maronia, Strimi, Anasta-

sioupolis are also places of interest for every

visitor. Going further to the east, we come

across Evros river area. The capital of the

homonym Perfecture is Alexandroupolis,

a citry with an astonishing lighthouse as a

«trademark». To the east of Alexandroupolis,

a visitor can admire the Trainoupolis ruins,

whereas the city of Ferres is considered as

the «heir city» of the Byzintine Vira. In Soufli,

one can learn everything about the different

stages of silk processing. In Evros Perfec-

ture we can also find the «proud» island of

Samothraki, standing in the northeastern

corner of Aegian Sea.

IONIAN ISLANDS

he unparallel natural beauty, the unique culture, the tradi-tion and of of course the spe-cial musical culture are the particular characteristics that

make Ionian Sea islands to stand out from any other part of Greece. Kefalonia is the bigest island of Ionian com-plex, as far as the strech of land is con-cerned. The interchange among different types of landscape is really unique, since the alpine scenery of Ainos, where the only type of black spruce grows and breeds of wild horses live , is harmoniously combined with warm, crystal clear seas. In the broader area of Ainos, one can find the «Drogarati» cage with its stalactites, as well as Melis-sani lake. Of course, the island of Kefalonia is surrounded by endless bays and «lace alike» shores. Since 1757, the capital of Kefa-lonia and Ithaka Prefecture is Argostoli, an aphitheatrically built city with a spendit view to Koutavos lake sea. The city is island’s commercial and administrational center, whereas at the same time, it is a modern city with nice old style mansions and a sig-nificant historic and cultural tradition. The most pictoresque village of Kefalonia it may be Fiscardo, as it’s a little fishing village with

narrow streets and old, traditionally built and therefore preserved houses. On the other hand, Lixouri is among these cities of the island that carry a great significance. In this city, one can find Iakovatios and Petritsios Libraries, in which worth mentioning collec-tions of vestments and rare books are kept, as well as The Philarmonic School. As far as Sami is concerned, it’s a beautiful town, whereas in the surrounding area, there are lots of water streams, a land of lush veg-etation and subterranean lakes and cages. Poros is one of the island’s main ports and, at the same time, it is a seaside, busy town which combines mountain with sea scenery. In addition to that, Skala has already emerged as a touristic resort, with its new hotels and an interesting night life. As for the beaches of Kefalonia, those are certainly numer-ous and outstanding. To mention just a few among the prettiest and globally reputed, we could name the beaches of Mirtos, Makris and Platis Gialos, Spartia, Lourdas, Skala, Poros, Antisamos, Xi and Petanoi. The island of Corfu is the administrational basis of the whole Ionian Islands Territory. Being also known as «the island of Faiaks» according to Homer’s Odyssey, Corfu stands out, mostly because of its cultural identity.

The island is situated in the «mouth» of Adriatic Sea, opposite to north west Greek coasts, from which the island’s northern part is separated by a 2,5 Klms width channel. In Corfu’s shores one can find pictoresque little bays and beaches with sand or peb-bles. The capital of the island is the beauti-ful city of Corfu, unanimously aknowledged as one of the prettiest cities in Greece, a city built on a narrow strip of land. In this city one can spot disparate elements, as well as the remnants of different cultures that have influenced the island. There are vast squares, such as the famous «Spianada» square, as well as narrow, cobbled little roads, the well known «kantounia», where the italian influence is more than obvious. To the west of Corfu city is Palaikastritsa, a little «heaven on earth» and Aggelokastro, a Byzintine fortress of 13th century, whereas to the north of the city there is «Kanoni», one of the most famous spots on the island. A narrow strip of land leads to Vlaxerna con-vent, from where one can catch a boat and visit Pontikonissi. Opposite to that, on the side of Gastourion hill, there is the unique Achillion, which used to be the summer residence of Austrian Empress Elisabeth, more known as «Sissy».

Touring


Being called through the centuries, even from the period of the Venetian rule, as «The Levante’s Flower», Zante is one characteris-tic case of island where rare natural beauty meets the unique ecological significance, along with the history and the rich cultural and artistic tradition. Obviously, the island of Zante presents a landscape full of con-trasts. While the most part of the island is mountainous, there are also visual varia-tions with short pine-clad mountains and fertile valleys. However, Zante is globallly known mostly from its emerald and crystal clear seas, as well as its unique ecosystem. It is widely known that in the south coast of Zante there is one of the most important natural habitat of Caretta – Caretta turtle. Furthermore, in the same island we can also find the habitat of Monachus – Mona-chus turtle, a species which can be found mostly in the southwest coasts of the island. The aristocratic city of Zante is the capital of the island, a city built on the southeastern side with really impressive mansions, well reputed churches and pretty squares like the famous «Rouga», or the tiled central square of St Mark, which attracts the lion part of activity. The Mpoxali area, under the castle, can easily charm everyone with its

little, quiet streets and its old houses with the characteristic «bougarinia». Of course, apart from the city, Zante’s visitors are also attracted by the island’s pictoresque villages with their tiled streets and the little tavernas, where one can taste original Zante cuisine. Among these villages we could mention Katastari, a really pictoresque and amphi-theatrically built village, Vanato, the capital of Arkadioi Municipality and Sarakinado, a village especially famous in both Greek and foreign tourists. Of cousrse, one of the most well known touristic attractions of Zante is the famous «shipwreck» in the west part of Zante, abandoned in the middle of the sandy beach and surrounded by steep rocks. It is also known that on Zante’s sandy beaches there are many other touristic resorts, such as Laganas, Argasi, Gerakas, Porto Zoro, Vassilikos, Tsilivis, Alikes and Alikanas. When we talk about Lefkada, we can not help pondering about quiet or cosmopoli-tan beaches with «golden» sand, seashores under the impressive shadow of high and steep rocks, serene bays, hospitable ports to every boat, crystal clear waters and other, equally beautiful images. Lefkada is sur-rounded by unique sandy beaches with their characteristic «dove egg» shaped grains of

sand, as Lefkada’s famous poet Aggelos Sikelianos had put it. On the other hand, Lefkada is also lush with olivetrees, vine-yards, cypresses, oak trees, pinetrees, plane-trees and other kind of vegetation. It is worth mentioning among Ionian islands, Lefkada is the closest to the inland of Greece and is also known as «Santa Maura». The island is connected to the rest part of the country through a floating bridge of continu-ous circulation, a fact that ensures the ben-efit of an easy access. In the city of Lefkada, there is one of the larger and most mod-ern sea marinas in Europe, whereas the island is also known for its lake sea, which is an aquatic habitat for rare breeds of birds. Apart from the city of Lefkada, also reputed parts of the island are Ligia, a really busy village, Agios Nikitas, a traditional fishing village, Nikiana, an ideal place for surfing fans, Perigiali, a village crowded with tour-ists with astonishing beaches, as well as Vassiliki, the center of the southern part of the island, with its sandy beaches. It is also worth mentioning that around Lefkada there are little and big islands developping continuously, whereas the most famous of them is the island of Skorpios, also known as «the island of Onassis».

PELOPONNESE

n the place where nature and the

blue of the sea meet, the visitor has

come to Peloponnese, the “island

of Pelopas” with the unique beauty.

Peloponnese is cited in the southeast of the

Balkan Peninsula and it is connected with

main Greece through a lane of land, Isth-

mos of Corinth, of 5 km. width. Geograph-

ically and administratively Peloponnese

is separated to the subregions of Corinth,

Argolida, Arkadia, Lakonia, Mesinis, Ilia

and Achaia.

Especially Corinth, which is next to the Corin-

thian and the Saronic Gulf, it is differentiated

for its archaeological places and its unique

combination of nature and sea. Next to the

downtown of Corinth, it is situated Loutra-

ki, the city with the international fame and

the Casino. Moreover, the visitor has the

chance to taste the wines of Nemea, to visit

the Loutra of Oraia Eleni, the famous from

antiquity Stymfalia Lake, the north Trikala

and the nearest snow centre, as well as the

National Drimo in Sarantapicho.

Continuing its tour to Argolida, the tourist

stays speechless from the ancient theatre

of Epidaurus, where the known worldwide

festival takes place, as well as from the cos-

mopolitan summer resorts that are extended

from Tolo and Drepano to Porto Heli, Costa

and Ermioni. Argolida, which is inhabited

since the 8th millennium A.D., is known as

the centre of Mycenaean civilisation. Myce-

nae attracts the interest of the visitors with

the amazing Pili of Lions and Nauplia, the

first Greek capital from 1828 to 1834.

In the centre of Peloponnese, it is located

Arkadia, the best choice for those who want

to visit picturesque sceneries and tradi-

tional villages, large landscapes and clean

shores. The capital of this region is Tripoli,

located in the centre of the fertile land of

Arkadia and Parnonas around it, with the

rich monasteries, the scenic Dimitsana,

the industrialized Megalopoli and the his-

toric Astros, lying next to the sea. For those

who like ancient civilizations, the ancient

areas of Tegea, Mantinia and Orchomenos

will attract their interest, as well as Karit-

aina with the famous Venetician castle, the

nautical city of Leonidio, but also the tourist

resorts of Vitina and Stemnitsa.

In the subregion of Lakonia, it is situated

Sparti, where Doriis were located since 11th

century A.D., by creating there their centre

which was developed in a most powerful

centre that dominated in Greece after the

Peloponnesian war. One can also watch

carefully the signs from the Byzantine period

and the French occupation. The “dead city”

of Mistra looks powerful through the years

and her fame is beyond the local borders.

The same things happen with Monemvasia

and the legendary Mani, with its tradition-

al rock towers. The cave of Diros and the

mountain of Taigetos are the gifts of nature

for the land of Lakonia, while polls of attrac-

tion are Neapoli and Elafonisos.

Continuing to the historic Mesinia, the tour-

Touring


ist will meet a region with strong presence

through the years, not only from the ancient

ones, but also from the recent years, espe-

cially in the Revolution of ‘21, where it was

the centre of the Greek fighters. Kalamata

is the glorious capital, famous for its long

shores and luxuriant vegetation, while Meth-

oni and Koroni located in the two sides of

Mesinia are discriminated thanks to their

Cycladic characteristics. Pilos has also an

island figure, and one of the most seaside

and tourist cities is Kiparisia.

Westside of Peloponnese, it is located the

subregion of Ilia, with Olympia the birth-

place of the Olympic games. The tourist

will be dazzled from the strong archaeo-

logical air of the region, as well as from the

temple of the Epicurus Apollo in the sheer

Vasses and from Andritsaina, situated in a

green hill. The river Neda stands out with

its impressive waterfalls and Zacharo the

seaside city filled with pines and olive trees

is found. The spa of Kaiafa, the river Alfios

known from antiquity, the mediaeval Kat-

akolo and the Loutra of Kilini are the most

spectacular sights of the region.

Finally, Achaia with Patras as a capital city is

regarded as an important travel connection,

as it is connects our country with Italy and

Peloponnese with Ionian Islands. The clean

and filled with green seashores of Pelopon-

nese steal tourist’s heart at first sight. The

beautiful and traditional village of Akrata,

the verdant Diakofto, where the train that

begins for Kalavrita, but also Aigio with the

great platan that Pausanias reported in his

travels, are main features of the region.

Another advantage of the area is Rio, the

connection with Peloponnese and Sterea

Greece and Ipirus, the glorious Kalavrita,

the Grand Cave and the legendary Agia

Lavra, as well as the famous snow cen-

tre of Helmos.


VILLAGE, WEST PELOPONNESE

t the Olympian Village,

three distinct factors

guarantee the success

of any conference:
