Each year, more and more travelers are choosing Athens for their leisure and business travel all year round. There are several reasons; Athens offers a variety of things to see and do, and most of the times, under favourable weather conditions. Athens is considered one of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safest capitals; its transportation network is user-friendly; there are numerous museums and archeological sites and hundreds of restaurants to satisfy every taste. Surrounded by a lining of stunning seas and mountains, Athens is filled with gems just waiting to be discovered. Located at the crossroads of three continents, the capital of Greece with an overall population of close to four million has often been the hub of many cultures. Characterized by a culture and people that are welcoming and hospitable, every visitor just feels at home. Furthermore, a factor that is driving Athensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; destination popularity is the increasing number of international carriers that fly into its new and award-winning airport, easily connecting Athens to the rest of the world. Athens is an ideal congress destination, combining state-of-the-art infrastructure, excellent conference facilities and easy access from all over the world with world-class cultural attractions, modern amenities, diverse entertainment and natural beauty. Most hotels in Athens underwent extensive renovation in preparation of the 2004 Olympic Games, a great benefit for contemporary visitors that can enjoy comfortable and stylish accommodation combined with outstanding services.

Why Athens the Post Olympic Games eras shows that the average length of a foreign tourist’s stay in a hotel in Athens is to 2.3 days, higher even than other major European capital cities. 4. Professionalism – Athens has prevailed in the recent years as the top meeting destination within Greece and is included in the list of the twenty most popular meeting destinations worldwide. To a great extent this is due to the highly qualified professionals the city has in various fields of the tourism industry and, in particular, the meetings industry.

Athens combines the qualities of a modern metropolis with those of a rich archaeological past, evident in all parts of the city. Today, it is this same quality that turns all conventions into big successes. From Plato’s “Symposium” to the contemporary international, European and national meetings of various fields, the “innate Athenian capacity for social gatherings” makes you bring out the best in yourself, turning your convention into a rare experience. So, before you decide on your conference’s next host city, learn about Athens’ top 10 features that make the Greek capital a top meeting place:

1. Accessibility – Since its opening in 2001, the multi-awarded Athens International Airport (AIA) “Eleftherios Venizelos”, is one of the fastest growing airports in the world. Year by year the airport enriches its network with new carriers and destinations. As a result, today AIA is connected to all major cities around the world at competitive prices. 2. Meeting facilities – The variety in, state of the art, meeting venues is such that you are sure to find a venue tailored to your needs. Today there are 40 Conference – Exhibition Centers and 89 Hotels with meeting facilities offering latest technology and high quality services. 3. Accommodation – Athens and the greater Athens region offer a total of 29.050 rooms in 493 hotels of various categories. What is even more important is the fact that the majority of this infrastructure has been upgraded due to the large renovation projects that took place on the occasion of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games and continue constantly to improve the services and facilities provided. A study commissioned by the Athens Development & Destination Management Agency on Athens’ Tourist Sector in the Pre and

5. Transportation – The state of the art transportation network including Metro, Buses, Tram, Trains, Trolleybuses and expansive highways, allows for an easy and quick transportation at a very low cost. 6. Activities – Boasting a history of 2.500 years with monuments incorporated into the modern city, coupled with world class museums and a vibrant contemporary cultural life, Athens becomes a very attractive destination. If you add to this the city’s lively nightlife – numerous bars and clubs for all tastes - and Mediterranean cuisine, you get some idea of how many different segments of the tourism market it can cater for. 7. Pre / Post meeting activities - Athens is probably the single European capital where it takes you less than 30 minutes from the vibrant city center to get either to the beach or to the mountains. It takes less than 2 hours drive from the capital to reach places that have both archaeological or historical interest and exceptional natural surroundings such as Sounio, Nafplio or Delphi. Hydra, Spetses, Aegina and Poros – four small and picturesque islands of the Saronic Gulf – are also ideal for daily tours, since there is a regular service from the port of Piraeus every day. A new trend in terms of pre and post international

conference events is that of excursions to some of the most well known and highly acclaimed Greek islands such as Santorini, Crete, Mykonos etc. In addition, it takes about 2 hours drive from the city centre to reach Parnassos or Kalavryta ski resorts. 8. Cultural Life & Entertainment - Athens is the city of ideas. Some of humanity’s most exciting ideas were born in Athens. In terms of cultural life, Athens is a unique case internationally. It is probably the only place in the world where you can discover a city more than 2.500 years old integrated into a contemporary metropolis. This exceptional past is coupled with a vibrant contemporary cultural life full of highly acclaimed events all year round. To make things even better, Athens offers a lively nightlife with a wide variety of bars, clubs and restaurants. And let’ s not forget that Athens is the city of olive trees, wine, honey and various herbs such as oregano, basil and thyme – an opportunity to taste the highly distinguished Mediterranean cuisine. 9. Climate - Athens is known all over the world for its mild climate, characterized by sunny skies, warm temperatures all year round, breezes and lack of humidity. As a result temperatures climb above 22 degrees Celsius from April to the end of October. The winter is also mild with temperatures from 7 to 15 degrees Celsius and blue skies, since rainfall in Athens is minimal. In addition, the average daylight is 8-9 hours. 10. Value - The city’s geographical position and its proximity to areas such as the Balkans, the Mediterranean and the Middle East provide easy, and in many cases, very affordable access for delegates coming from economically developing countries. Furthermore, Athens offers a combination of quality services and facilities at rather competitive prices.

Transportation Athens International Airport One of Athens’ highlights is the Athens International Airport (AIA) “Eleftherios Venizelos”. Since its opening in 2001, AIA has seen an annual growth of 7% and has been placed on the list of the fastest growing airports in the world. Year by year, the airport enriches its network with new carriers and destinations. Currently AIA has direct connections to about 65 international destinations, including all major cities around the world.

Landmarks The establishment of Athens as a city dates back to mythological times. The city’s history is still evident throughout Athens in the form of many Ancient, Roman, Byzantine and modern monuments. Today’s capital integrates the ancient and medieval history into the contemporary era. Monuments can be found all around the city center, side by side with contemporary constructions such as buildings, roads and train stations.

Acropolis - The Parthenon, a monument that constitutes the symbol of Greece worldwide, has been standing on the “sacred rock” of Athens, the Acropolis, for thousands of years. The Parthenon along with the other monuments of the Acropolis, are all excellent pieces of art, reflecting the Classical period and the Golden Age of ancient Athens in the 5th and 4th centuries B.C.

The Acropolis Museum – Designed by Bernard Tchumi in collaboration with Michalis Photiadis; the sparkling new museum, since its opening in June 2009, has already become the City’s top attraction and is expected to become one of the most visited and “must see” museums worldwide. The museum, which exhibits approximately 4.000 artefacts, allows the sculptures to be viewed in natural light, with special glass and climate-control measures protecting them from sunlight. The most impressive part of the museum is its top floor, where visitors will be able to view the frieze and then look out of the windows to view the Parthenon itself.

Odeon of Herodes Atticus – At the footsteps of Acropolis, the Odeon was built in 161 A.D. under Tiberius Claudius Atticus Herodes. To date concerts, plays and ballets have been performed. The natural setting of Herodeion, with its marvelous arcades, the Parthenon as a backdrop and the moon up in the sky will certainly fascinate you. Αncient Agora - The Ancient Agora, which means “market” in modern Greek, is situated at the footsteps of the Acropolis and in ancient times it served as the commercial centre of the city but also as political, cultural and religious centre. Plato’s Academy - Academy was a suburb of Athens, named after the hero Academos or Ecademos. The site was continuously inhabited from the prehistoric period until the 6th century A.D. During the 6th century B.C., one of the three famous Gymnasiums of Athens was founded here. In 387 B.C. Plato founded his philosophical school, which became very famous due to the Neoplatonists, and remained in use until A.D. 526, when it was finally closed down by emperor Justinian.

National Archaeological Museum of Athens – The National Archaeological Museum is a must-visit. One of the richest collections of ancient Greek art in the world, the exhibits are representative of all the cultures that flourished in Greece, from the prehistoric age until the period of Turkish occupation. Frescoes from prehistoric Thera and statues from the classical period, such as the bronze statue of Poseidon, are some of the museum’s highlights.

National Museum of Contemporary Art – EMST A collection of works of contemporary Hellenic and international art.

Byzantine Museum - Over 25,000 artefacts divided into collections that date from the 3rd to the 20th century A.D.

The First Cemetery of Athens - It is the official cemetery of the City of Athens and the first to be built. It opened in 1837 and soon became a luxurious cemetery for famous Greek people and foreigners. The cemetery is located behind the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Panathinaiko Stadium in central Athens. The cemetery includes the tomb of Heinrich Schliemann, designed by Ernst Ziller, and one named I Koimomeni (the Sleeping Girl), by the sculptor Yannoulis Chalepas. The cemetery is under the Municipality of Athens and it is declared as an historical monument.

Museum of Cycladic Art - An extensive and unique private collection of prehistoric art from the Cycladic islands as well as ancient Greek and Byzantine art. National Gallery of Athens - Features paintings and works of art from some of Greece’s and Europe’s best from the 19th and 20th centuries. Benaki Museum - 30.000 items illustrating the character of the Greek world through a spectacular historical panorama covering several periods ranging from the Prehistoric, Ancient and Roman periods to the Byzantine and the contemporary Hellenic period.

Olympic Athletic Center of Athens - The Olympic Athletic Center of Athens, also known as OAKA, is one of the most complete European athletic complexes where the Athens Olympic Games took place in 2004.

Panathenaic Stadium - Originally built in the 4th century B.C. for the athletic competitions of the Great Panathinaia (ancient Greek festivities), the “Kallimarmaron” Stadium (meaning “beautiful marble”) was the venue of the first modern Olympic Games, in 1896.

Athens Nightlife

Eating out in Athens During the last decade, the Athenian cuisine has experienced a gourmet revolution. The traditional and world-renowned moussaka and souvlaki image has given way to a cornucopia of fine dining options. And the Athenian landscape of 19th century neoclassical buildings, ancient sites, artsy industrial and Mediterranean coastal milieus have created a canvas for alluring interiors and exteriors. Rooftop bar - restaurants in Athens can compete with some of the world’s most renowned ones, but can they claim a view of the Acropolis? Talented chefs and successful restaurateurs from the world’s food Meccas have entered the kitchens in Athens restaurants and changed the Greek food setting into one that can compete with many European metropolies. The result is hundreds of excellent restaurants with chefs, menus and waiting staff that impress even the well-traveled gourmand. Culinary aficionados are encouraged to delight their palates in the myriad of sophisticated gourmet restaurants in Athens that boast tastes and designs inspired by many cultures. Many can be found in Psirri, Kolonaki, Mets, Pagrati, Gazi, Koukaki and in most of the leading hotels. Every type of fine cuisine can be found and enjoyed in Athens: from Ιtalian, French, American, and fusion to nouveau, East Asian, Middle-Eastern and Greek. It is worth noting that in Athens, fine dining also includes many enticing barrestaurants, with live and DJ-based music, that take on a more “club feel” as the night progresses.

Athens is famous for its vibrant nightlife. The Athenians like to party and will do so almost every night of the week. The choices are plenty and they appeal to all tastes and lifestyles. In general, things get started pretty late; after midnight for bars and clubs and after 10 pm for dinner at the city’s tavernas, restaurants and bar-restaurants.

Rural Athens - the city of wine Few people would consider Athens for wine tourism and hardly any are aware that Attica - the area around Athens - is rich in mountains, wildlife, forests, rivers, fertile vineyards and state-of-the-art wineries with quality viticulture and skilled oenologists.

Shopping in Athens

Attica is considered to be the Napa of Europe, with several thousand years of history behind it, making it ideal for travelers, who wish to experience wine tourism and taste some of the finest wines in the Mediterranean.

A showcase for its traditional and modern culture and lifestyle - can be a fascinating and satisfying experience for all. Amidst the many well-known and international name brands and traditional Greek art and folklore shops, are hundrents of chic boutiques and specialty shops blossoming with great fashion finds for every taste and budget. The “new kid on the block” are the glitzy department stores that have won the hearts of the locals and visitors who shop there. The close proximity of each shopping district means that a weekend in Athens can combine a stroll on a cobblestone path amongst the locals buying fresh produce at traditional markets and bazaars, with browsing elegant displays of haute couture, prêt a porter clothing, shoes and accessories by talented Greek and foreign designers that are sure to impress. A day of shopping in Athens is a delightful way to immerse yourself in Greek culture. Make sure to stop by one of the many wonderful year-round outdoor cafes and restaraunts to complete your shopping in athens experience. Best Shopping Streets in Athens: • Ermou, Syntagma • Voukourestiou, Kolonaki • Tsakalof, Kolonaki • Ioannou Metaxa, Glyfada • Kassaveti, Levidou & Kolokotroni, Kifissia • Iphestou, Monastiraki • Panepistimiou, Syntagma • Shops at Athens International Airport. • Kifisias Avenue • Spata - McArthurGlen

Being one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world, with a 6,500 year old tradition of viticulture, the area is blessed with high mountains, opulent soil and a friendly sun, all of which contribute to a great variety of quality wines with the authentic flavour that made ancient Greek wine what French wine is today. The ancient Athenians created wine culture - the consumption of wine as a social event and the appreciation of it at a very sophisticated level - and they considered wine to be a gift from the gods. They worshipped Dionysus, the god of pleasure and wine, who - according to ancient beliefs - introduced the cultivation and art of wine drinking to the citizens of Athens. Illustrations on pottery and other artefacts, wine amphorae, and the extraordinary ceramic wine cups whose shapes the ancient Athenians considered to affect the taste of wine, are some of the many pieces of evidence for Attica’s long relationship with wine. During the last 20 years, evolution in the wineries and cellars of Attica has been astounding, and viticulture and winemaking is now very different. There are more

than 30 ultra-modern wineries around Athens where the makers are dedicated to production of high quality wines, and their locations create an interesting route for wine tourism. Contemporary Greek wine makers have studied viticulture and oenology abroad and invested heavily in modern techniques. More native and foreign varieties of grape are being planted, leading to the production of exciting and captivating 21st century Greek wines that are being discovered and enjoyed by connoisseurs, as well as the rest of us, and are competing once more for a top place in the international market of exceptional fine wines. Most of the wine estates offer wine tours, wine tasting and many related events that will make people aware of the wonderful wines and history of the Attica region. The guided tours, in English and sometimes in German and French, generally start in the vineyards, where the grapes are carefully and tenderly cultivated, and continue to the wineries where visitors are guided through the underground cellars as they learn about the process of wine. Last but not least, the tour concludes with a wine-testing session of the estate’s finest wines and vintage.

main building

Benaki Museum In 2000, the main building re-opened, after years of renovation. The centerpiece of the Benaki Museum, it aims to present the historical and cultural development of Hellenism within its geographical and evolutionary context, from prehistory to the present. The priceless collections housed in this building depict masterpieces from the Neolithic Age, the Antiquity and the Roman Era to the Byzantine Age, and from the fall of Constantinople, the period of Frankish rule and the Ottoman Occupation, to the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence in 1821. The collections also include works of art from the time of the formation of the Modern Greek State until the Asia Minor Catastrophe in 1922. The breadth and variety of such collections defines the Benaki Museum and sets it apart, not as another historical museum, an art museum or a museum of decorative arts, but as the museum of Greek civilization, in all its manifestations.

Benaki Museum - Museum of Islamic Art The Museum of Islamic Art is situated in a Neo-Classical building complex in the Kerameikos neighborhood. It is the only museum of its kind in Greece, featuring a unique collection of world-renowned artifacts, one of the top-ten collections worldwide. The evolution of Islamic civilisation from the first appearance of Islam up to the Ottoman period and the corresponding development of Islamic art up to the 19th century are demonstrated by more than 8,000 works of art, including ceramics, gold, metalwork, textiles and glass, smaller groupings of bone objects, inscribed funerary steles and weaponry, as well as the marble-faced interior of a reception room from a 17th-century Cairo mansion. During the preservation works of the building, a section of the ancient city wall of Athens was uncovered at the basement level; it is now accessible to visitors.

Delta House The Delta House is a characteristic example of the mature Neo-Classical style of the early 20th c., demonstrating a number of eclectic features borrowed from medieval architecture, including the typically Athenian feature of a tower staircase. Since 1994, the Historical Archives are accommodated in the Delta House.

CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION CENTRES

The Vorres Museum is a cultural foundation that was established in 1983, with the purpose of promoting Greek art and culture, through a broad spectrum of activities.

Over the years, the Vorres Museum has proved to be not only a beloved off the beaten track tourist attraction, but a unique venue for the MICE industry as well.

The museum sprawls over six acres and is divided into two main sections: the museum of contemporary Greek art and the folk art museum, both of which house collections that cover at least 2500 years of Greek history.

The Museum is situated near the airport, in Painia, a suburb of Athens.

In the contemporary part, paintings, installations and sculptures created exclusively by Greek artists are exhibited and the folk art section houses antiquities, icons, ceramics, popular artifacts and objects used in daily Greek life centuries ago.

Τhe purpose of Zappeion Exhibtion Hall was to serve as an exhibition space for Greek agricultural and manufacture products, as well as a space to introduce new technologies to the Greek public. It also served as a venue for exhibitions of paintings and sculpture, musical performances and other cultural events while the gardens were designed in order to become gathering place for Athenians and visitors. Τhe Zappeion is also a vision that was conceived in 1856 by the benefactor Evanggelis Zappas and inauguated in 1888 by his cousin Constantine Zappas. The Zappas firmly believed that the newly independent Greek nation needed to take its place among the nations of Europe. Athletics and the revival of the Ancient Olympic Games were also part of the vision. The new Board of Directors has embarked on an extensive program of renovation of the Zappeion Exhibition Hall and its gardens. Recently, the Zappeion Exhibition Hall became a member of Historic Conference Centres of Europe and we also plan to organize our own cultural exhibitions and musical performances. We truly believe that the Zappeion Exhibition Hall once again will emerge to take its rightful position as the foremost centre for conferences and exhibitions in the city of Athens.

Case Study Dear Event Makers team, For two years we worked together on one of the most complicated programs in our corporate history – the 2008 Athens Gold program. By any standards this was a world class program and one that would be demanding for any agency. Over the time we worked together I have spent a great deal of time with all the team and even now I’m still amazed and impressed by their commitment and professionalism. To give you some points of consideration for the program: • 13 Hotels • 2,500 guests rooms per night • 4,700 guests from 60 different countries • 14 core languages • 5 conference days ranging in size from 150 to 3,700 • 2 hosted catering functions for 4,700 people • 3 day cruises for 800 pax per day • Coordination of transportation, customer service, catering, entertainment, logistics, government relations and team management. Over the space of 2 years we are in contact on a daily basis and met at least once every two months. The program was challenging, overwhelming, and at times even frustrating. The team was tireless in always trying to find the best possible solution for every situation. Together we explored every possible venue, option, and angle in order to accommodate the group in the best possible way. We had subcontracting team from all over Europe working on the project and Event Makers –DMC team and I were working closely to coordinate this diverse volume of communication and coordinate the efforts of our various team. The program, in a word, was exhausting and demanded reserves of energy that made one feel that one was running a marathon. The goal was always in-site, the energy was there but in order to make something this big happen it takes the internal drive of a few key players to make it happen.The program was delivered on site impeccably. The program logistics were perfect and the command of the transportation, accommodations and customers service units was strong, professional and without question. The job was done, it was done well, and it was done exactly as contracted and more. The 2008 Athens program was rated as one of the best in the company’s history. I would agree having managed our global programs for the last six years I’m aware of the crucial role that the local suppliers play in the execution of our events. Events Makers did a superb job . I recommend Event Makers without any hesitation, with full support and I would welcome the chance to work with them again. I do not believe there is a better supplier in Greece. I now consider Event Makers DMC to be a valued supplier, colleague, and most importantly now – friend. You know that if Event Makers handles the project it will be managed at a world class level. Kind Regards, Peter Kropp / International Conference and Events Manager/ Oriflame Cosmetics

GEP SITE

Case Study An international event, which stands out as a good example in both the number of participants handled (2,500 persons in total) and the complexity of its planning and operation was an incentive program of a well known “Natural & Health Products” company. Two thousand five hundred persons arrived from 16 different countries on more than 80 different flights and stayed in 7 different hotels. The first interesting point of this operation was that the initial request for a proposal was received only 7 weeks prior to the arrival date. In this last minute international cancellation, Athens emerged as the best back-up solution where hotel accommodation in the summer is not an issue. After securing accommodations and receiving the confirmation that Athens was the destination for the program, the planning process we had to prepare for the fact that each nationality needed customized social events, customized menus, and tours to be conducted in their mother tongues. An even greater challenge was the fact that the program had to be handled as seven individual incentive programs with only the 2,500 guest meeting and gala dinner in common. The fact that the event had changed destination on such short notice led to an additional problem: the organizer was unable to communicate to us, the DMC, the exact arrival flights of the participants, with the exception of the French delegation (approximately 220 persons), since the participants had booked their flights individually. It was a challenge to know for sure who was coming, when and on which flight. The Account Executive in charge of the program was leading a team of 7 Operation Managers (one per hotel), each of whom was responsible from A to Z for their own group requirements and each operating as a separate incentive group. Daily meetings of the above 8 (Account Executive and 7 Operation Managers) along with the Transportation Manager were held late each evening and included two phases: “Report of the day’s activities” and “Tomorrow’s needs”. As all hotels were booked through Horizon, our company was also responsible for the smooth operation of all services within the hotel (room block, conference, F&B, room gift deliveries). The lack of organization of this particular client led us to be all the more vigilant in accounting matters, to the point that we managed to present the entire final bill the day after the departure of the group.

Case Study We recently welcomed a corporate sales summit. Clients had chosen a coastal resort offering magnificent sea views in all areas leading to meeting rooms and all the bedrooms. Delegates had the opportunity to relax immediately upon leaving their meetings, taking in the beautiful surroundings. Apart from the welcome dinner on the grounds of the resort, other evening functions included an upscale Gala dinner and a traditional Greek village party. During their team building activity, delegates worked together to build bikes for a local children’s shelter. For the Gala Dinner, we took over a trendy seafront club. Rows of small olive trees, the symbol of ancient Athens, were used to guide guests to the waterfront cocktail area. Guests were able to relax by the veranda or walk down the beach to the sea while enjoying the music of a unique harp and flute live duet. Dinner consisted of a discovery of Greek flavours presented in nouvelle cuisine style. During desert a scene from a Greek tragedy was performed while a shortened translation and synopsis of the play was distributed to guests. Excitement was fired up by the electrifying presence of “daouli” drummers, whose performance was complemented by an exquisite violinist. Guests truly had the most fun during a traditional farewell dinner that took place at an authentic rustic restaurant with a wonderful warm atmosphere and great Greek fare. The entire delegation enjoyed dancing with the locals and a successful event was rounded off with a fantastic, fun evening.

Case Study Client: Department of Pathophysiology, School of Medicine, National University of Athens, Greece Topic: 3RD SUMMER SCHOOL OF IMMUNOLOGY Situation: Aim of the seminar: to provide students and early postdoctoral researchers insight into basic immunology and recent developments, while promoting their interaction with distinguished researchers from Europe and the US. Challenges: The challenges facing us were: • Dealing with a low budget but keeping the interest of the participants at a high level. • Choosing the right topics for the event in order to attract as many participants as possible. • Dealing with the heavy program (the event duration was 5 days). • Dealing with difficulties concerning the funding of the event. Actions: The actions we took to address these challenges were: • The selection of the picturesque island of Spetses as the ideal destination, due to its proximity to the urban centre. • As a venue we chose the Anargyrios and Korgialenios School of Spetses, a very low budget solution (low accommodation cost). Each room was shared by two participants, which resulted in the bonding between them and the increase of the team spirit. • Web casting was used to increase the publicity of the seminar. Results: Our actions resulted in: • The event was highly successful; many participants expressed their wish for the repetition of the event. • The impact of the event was double than the expected, as a result of the web casting, while maintaining the number of registrations. • Team spirit was vivid, as well as the educational character of the seminar.

Case Study One of the largest events we have operated as a company was a double meeting for a well-known, global nutrition direct selling company. This was a multiethnic meeting with delegates from all parts of the world. The meeting consisted of two groups operating on the same dates but different locations in Greece working in parallel to each other: one group of 800 guests for which we organized accommodation in Athens and a Cruise to the Greek islands (Mykonos / Rhodes / Santorini), and a second group of 400 guests who stayed at Lagonissi and set up a day trip to Mykonos. The highlight of the event was that both groups had to meet on Mykonos for a great Gala dinner for 1200 people that was set up at one of the famous Myconos beaches, Platys Yalos. The challenges of running two events/groups at the same time were many, but were handled with careful preparation and creativity, drawing on years of experience and an extensive network of suppliers. Our attention to details was of utmost importance for the success of the event. The transportation needs and the logistics of the events were particularly complex as they involved various transfers, as well as excursions and movements to venues. We had teams based at the airport, the hotels, the cruise boat and in Mykonos that were coordinating with each other and the client, creating value all the time. The unique features that Athens as a city, the coast of Attica and the Aegean Islands offer, the diverse scenery, the authenticity and the philoxenia extended, together with the dedication of the operations team at Siva, made this meeting a huge success and memorable to all.

March 28th, 2001 marked the onset of a new era for air transport in Greece, with the opening of the Athens International Airport “Eleftherios Venizelos”, which contributed to the transformation of the capital with one of the most modern, functional and safest airport in the world. Athens International Airport S.A. (AIA) was established in 1996 as a Public-Private Partnership with a 30-year B.O.O.T. (Build - Own - Operate - Transfer) concession to build and operate the airport and has undertaken successfully a series of very important roles, i.e. manager of the airport, employer and responsible corporate citizen. AIA is a privately managed company, with the Greek State holding 55% of shares, while the private shareholders collectively hold 45%. Thanks to its favourable geographical location at the cross-roads of three continents, state-of-the art infrastructure and top-notch service, the Athens International Airport has earned numerous international distinctions and awards , as well as the trust of passengers. Today, it constitutes one of the major gateways to South-Eastern Europe and forms a unique entrepreneurial entity of economic and social development in the Attica basin. Over 16,000 people are employed as part of the airport community which consists of more than 300 companies closely connected to the Airport Company and contributes to its smooth operations while the Athens Airport City is one of the biggest employment engines in Greece, contributing to the national and local economy by 2,14% of the GDP, as proven by the Athens University of Economics and Business relevant study (2009). During its 10 years of successful operations the airport served more than 145 million passengers through 1,8 million flights. AIA, however, is far more than just a gateway to South-Eastern Europe; aiming at continuous growth, AIA develops its extensive real estate assets, conducts large-scale commercial activities and exports the company’s pioneering know-how in the IT sector. Indeed, approximately 40% of the company’s turnover and a significant share of its profits come from non-aeronautical activities. Additionally, in the environmental field, forming a milestone development, AIA’s 8MWp new Photovoltaic Park commenced operations in mid-July 2011, being , at the time of start of operations, the second largest in Greece and the largest in an airport worldwide. Distinguished as one of the best airports in the world in the first years of operation, Athens International Airport offers a wide range of services and facilities, making each moment at the airport a pleasant experience for the travellers, their meeters and greeters, and the airport’s visitors. Athens International Airport maintains one of the best airport terminals in Europe, equipped with state-of-the-art systems, featuring a most user-friendly orientation, comfortable waiting areas and adhering to the highest cleanliness standards. Furthermore, according to the surveys conducted at the airport, our passengers value the airport’s warm ambience, the courtesy of staff, as well as the attractive offer of over 60 quality shops and restaurants in its Airport Shopping Centre as well as a very attractive Retail Park within the Airport compound.

Transport for Athens : The Athens Transport System The Athens Public Transport system is the largest public transport system in Greece and ranked among the best in Europe. It is efficient and provides reliable transportation services to citizens and visitors in the wider Athens metropolitan area. The Athens Public Transport System consists of a metro, a tram and an extensive bus and trolleybus network, which provides easy access to all major points of interest (e.g. Acropolis, Plaka, Museums, etc.), many hotels and major convention centers. The Athens metro is the backbone of the Athens Transport System. It has 3 lines and provides direct connection of the City Center to the city’s entry points like the Airport of Athens, the Port of Piraeus and the Larissis Railway Station. The Athens metro is extended from north (Kifisia) to south (Port of Piraeus) and east to west, connecting the majority of the urban suburbs. Metro Line 1, better known as “ΙLEKTRIKOS”, initially began as steam powered and later became electric powered. It has been connecting Athens with Piraeus since 1869 while the new metro lines (lines 2&3) are considered among the gems of modern Athens. The construction of the two new lines (2&3) made headlines when ancient artefacts were found underground and halted its progress. Many of these ancient artefacts are presented in special exhibits incorporated into the design of the stations of metro line 2 and 3. The Athens metro stations are very impressive and are included among the most beautiful stations in Europe, with several of them being small museums by presenting original artifacts or replicas of archeological treasures, which were found during excavations.

The Athens bus and trolleybus network is very extensive and allows the travelers to reach the most distant points in the metro area. The environmental friendly bus fleet amounts a total of more than 2000 vehicles and has one of the largest CNG and trolley fleet in Europe, consisting of 614 CNG buses and 366 electric trolleys respectively. All vehicles of the bus fleet are modern, air-conditioned and accessible to people with reduced mobility. Furthermore, EXPRESS buses connect the Athens International Airport with the city Center (Syntagma sq.), the Piraeus Port and the Intercity Bus Terminal (KTEL Kifisos) on a 24hour basis. The Athens tram is one of the big projects that have been built for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. It connects the southern suburbs with the city center, while also provides a scenic ride and transport service along the coastal line. The Athens Transport System offers a wide variety of tickets for citizens, visitors and tourists. Daily tickets, 3-day tourist tickets and 5-day tickets offer unlimited travel, at a low price, with all transport means, within the city, while the 3-day tourist ticket also includes a roundtrip route to the airport. Special group tickets for use by convention attendees can also be provided, after a special fare settlement with the Conference/ Congress Organizing Committee.

Our great poet Odysseus Elytis may have put it poetically and metaphorically when he said that “if you deconstruct Greece, you will see at the end that what is left is an olive tree, a fishing boat and a vineyard”; our great chef Lefteris Lazarou expresses it more figuratively in his cooking, combining all three, yet creating sublime food that is gastronomic poetry. Varoulko was the first restaurant that served contemporary Greek food, inspired by the sea, which has received a Michelin star in 2002. Since then, the consistency in the quality of the food served, the enrichment of Lazarou’s repertoire with new creations based

on most immaculate ingredients drawn from the deep blue seas of Greece, the impeccable service and the elegant surroundings have guaranteed an excellence that has merited a Michelin star as well as many other awards every year.

The Athens Walking Tours were created ιn 2004, out of a need to offer a different and more intimate approach to the ordinary city sightseeing tours. Since then “The Athens Walking Tours” have become a “must do” activity. All the tours are conducted in small groups of no more than 18 participants, led by licensed highly qualified experienced guides and are carefully designed to offer the visitor of Athens a unique, enriching and all encompassing experience of the city’s ancient and historical past together with its present, modern everyday life. All Athens Walking Tours are suitable for people of all ages, are conducted in a relaxed pace and are never rushed or hurried. But our tours are not just history. Launched in June 2010, the Athens Food Tour reveals a delightful world of taste, color, smell and texture that lies right below the striking Acropolis, in the heart of the historical city center. Leaving the tzatziki and moussaka Greek food stereotypes far behind, our food experts lead the visitor through an alternative food stroll and introduce them to small, hidden specialty food shops. They provide valuable insight both on the unique and intricate culinary heritage of Greece as well as the famous Mediterranean diet, hailed today as a model of healthy living.

REVIEWS “This tour was a perfect introduction to the city…” The guide pointed out things we would not have noticed if we had been walking around the city, and really brought it to life. … it was a really relaxed stroll around the city, gardens, and Acropolis. Nick, March 2012 / VIATOR “A Must do in Athens” Athens Walking tours is the best way to see the Acropolis and the surrounding areas. It was a perfect balance of walking and rest. This is the only way to see the sights! Michael C, January 2012 / TRIPADVISOR “Interesting, entertaining and DELICIOUS!” Rather than a normal pre-packaged rush around a few tourist-oriented stores, it felt more like an Athenian friend taking us to her favourite eateries. GreenGlutton, November 2011 / TRIPADVISOR “Really well picked places and yummy delicacies” This tour really needs to be recommended, if you wanna get an impression not only of the Greek cuisine, but also of the Greek way of life… Antonia Miccoli, September 2011 / VIATOR

The Mediterranean climate makes for mild winters and even milder autumns in low-lying areas (such as Athens) with the coldest temperatures reported in January at a very temperate 41° to 55° F, or 5° to 13°C. Christmas in Athens is a delight considering you can take in the city’s lights and attractions at a relatively comfortable 45° to 50°F, or 7° to 14°C. Snowy, icy days are few but within reach atop the surrounding mountain peaks. In Athens, sunshine and outdoor living is almost always a given- no matter what time of the year. Listed below is a month-by-month breakdown of average temperatures and precipitation in Athens. (Source: worldweather.org and Hellenic National Meteorological Service)

Transportation

Buses and Trolleybuses

Metro

The Athens bus and trolleybus network is very extensive and provides connections of the Athens and Piraeus city centers with the most distant points in the metro area.

The Athens metro consists of 3 lines and provides transfers to the tram, bus routes and suburban rail at hub stations. At peak hours trains run every 5-6 minutes. Metro runs daily from 05:00 to 00:15. On Fridays and Saturdays the operation of metro (lines 2& 3) are extended to 02:00. For more information on all public transport modes: call 11185 and/or visit “www.tfa.gov.gr“

In general, buses and trolleybuses run daily from 05:00 to 23:30. However, there are several core bus lines which extend their operation until 12:30 (please make sure that you check the timetable before travelling either by phone (11185) or at www.tfa. gov.gr). Airport Express Buses operate on a 24-hour basis connecting the Athens International Airport with the city center (Syntagma sq.), the Piraeus Port and the Intercity Bus Terminal (KTEL Kifisos). After midnight services are also provided on four central bus routes (040, 500, 790 and X14) and one trolleybus (11). For more information on all public transport modes: call 11185 and/or visit “www.tfa.gov.gr“

Tram Environmentally friendly, with a view of the Saronic Gulf, the tram connects the center of Athens with the coastal suburbs. Four station hubs along its routes connect with metro. Total waiting time during peak hours is a maximum of 8-20 minutes depending on the line. The tram operates 5:00 to 00:00 while on Fridays and Saturdays tram operation is extended to 02:30.

There are two bus terminals: Kifissou 100 serves the Peloponnese (+302105124910) and western Greece; the Liossion 260 terminal serves central and northern Greece (+302108317096). For more information: call 14505 or +30 210 88 08 000; www.ktel.org

It also gets you to Kifissia, the hub of business in northern Athens; Doukissis Plakentias, an important urban residential area; Pallini and Kantza in the eastern part of the greater Athens area; and Koropi, a center of industrial development. A new route to Corinthos has just been initiated with plans to extend the network with added routes to Lavrio, Rafina, and Chalkida for easier mobility. It also serves Athens International Airport. The suburban rail runs daily from 06:00 until 12 midnight. For more information: call 1110 or +30 210 52 98 829; www.trainose.gr
