GIn a global environment where the rule of uncer tainty and fear increasingly prevails, one excep tionary case can definitely stand out: the case of Greek tourism.

In the aftermath of a 2-year-long pandemic trial, combined in 2022 with an energy and inflationary crisis and the Russian invasion in Ukraine, Greek tourism goes against the tide, provi ding quality vacations for out guests, as well as a safe haven for investors and a boost for the Greek economy.

And though the year has not reached this conclusion, the data allow us to confidently say that Greek tourism has surpassed all expectations.

In both June and July, tourist income has exceeded that of the equivalent months of 2019 - the record year for Greek tourism. Tourist income from Britain alone rose by 25% in July. And the very fact that our benchmark is 2019 and not 2021, speaks volu mes about this year’s success.

In August, airline arrivals surpassed those of 2019, and Septem ber followed a similar trend.

Greece both increased spending per visitor, and is poised to achieve its goal for the extension of the tourist period well beyond the summer months, which is greatly contributing to the viability of its tourist product and market. This success has had a profound impact in terms of overall growth. Greece achieved a spectacular 7.5% GDP increase in the first half of the year, in addition to an 8.3 increase in 2021. This has dramatically improved the forecast for the Greek economy, a fact highlighted by the Chair of Rockfeller International Ruchir Sharma in his recent FT article, where Greece was included as one the ‘7 economic wonders of a worried world’. Yet, this year’s success is not the limit of our ambition. We are determined to face the challenges and seize the opportunities of the future. Our three principles for Greece’s future tourism development are quality-balance-sustainability.

To achieve that, we are prioritizing alternative and thematic forms of tourism such as gastronomy and agrotourism, diving, mountain and wellness tourism, which are at the forefront of our resilience and recovery post-pandemi. program. The government is also launching a large game infrastructure program to meet the needs of local communities as well as expanding base of our guests.

We are also fundamentally upgrading and expanding our tourism education, which is the key for the future, with a new tourism academy, renewed curricula, more specializations, ex panded training opportunities, and the massive upskilling and reskilling program. Sustainability will be the driving force and at the very center of our efforts for our new 10-year strategy as well as our campaigns that will be running all year round. Greek tourism has proven both its resilience and excellence in the most trying of circumstances. There are tough challenges ahead. But we have both the plan and the determination to overcome them. And in this regard, this year’s World Travel Market is both a celebration of the resilience of tourism and a manifestation of its potential. Its motto ‘Reconnect -Rebuild-Renovate’ is more poignant than ever, as an increasingly globalized tourist market is preparing for the opportunities of the next decade. And from Greece, the message is loud and clear: tourism is back, and it is poised to rise even further. Our aim is to enhance this rise, basing it on sound and sustainable foundations.

Stavros Arnaoutakis

Governor of the Region of Crete

Just before the completion of another successful tou rism season the Region of Crete continues its efforts to support the dynamic sector of the local economy, that is tourism. Thus, we prove in practice that when we join forces and develop collaborations the results are absolutely encouraging.

For the past two years we have fought the battle successfully because we have worked together, everyone in their own area of expertise. The state, the local government, the social partners, the scientific community, the workers, the citizens, all met in common ways to ensure public health, but also to limit the economic and social impact of the pandemic.

After the previous successful promotional campaign, the Region of Crete has presented its new tourism promotion strategy, with a timeframe in 2023. With the central messa ge “Sense the authentic” we are implementing a tourism campaign that invites the potential visitor to discover everything that composes the unique tourist experience of Crete. The campaign urges him to “feel”, to use all his senses to experience the hospitality offered by the locals and the professionals of tourism, through the passion and love for their work, but also through their innate moral obligation to offer the “best” and, most importantly, the most genuine to their visitors.

Panagiotis Nikas

Governor of the Peloponnese Region

The Peloponnese of nature, of mythology, of histo rical antiquity, of the Byzantium, the Peloponnese of the Greek Insurrection, the Peloponnese the land of gods and heroes, but also the land of the people of daily labor...

The place where the Olympic Games were born, where Mycenae, Argos, Sparta, Pylos, Corinth thrived, where Epidaurus even today is an awe-inspiring site, where the castles of Mystras and Monemvasia still whisper secrets from other times, where in the serene centuries-old monasteries, some hidden in the beautiful landscape, the human soul come closer to the divine.

The Peloponnese generously offers a lot of excitement to the visitor, whether he is looking for adventure in nature -hiking trails, climbing sites, diving in the endless blue surrounding the island of Pelops- or seeking relaxation and entertainment in a modern, cosmopolitan environment… Visitor must be prepared for the cultural treasures he will en counter, in countless archaeological sites -many of them hos ting quality events during the summer- and also in museums, Byzantine monuments, Venetian and Frankish castles..

Is the Peloponnese an island? Is it part of the land of the Europe an continent? Does Europe ends here? Or, maybe it starts here?

Alexandros Kahrimanis

Governor of Epirus

Epirus is one of the most popular and rising tourist destinations in Greece.

It is a welcoming, easily accessible and safe place making it a choice for many British visitors today. What is special about Epirus is that it provides a wide range of options to every visitor throughout the year, as it combines the sea with the mountain, the enchanting and crystal-clear beaches with the exceptional mountain landscapes, the cultural

and historical monuments with the local gastronomy. Every visitor will enjoy unique and unforgettable experiences in Epirus. This is verified by those who have visited Epirus in increasing numbers in recent years.

The Region of Epirus invites all British citizens to include our region in their travel plans so as to discover a region with many “hidden secrets” and unlimited possibilities.

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Kyriakos Kotsoglou

Vice Governor of Crete for Tourism & e-Governance

Our dear guests, I am sure that every time you watch the presentation of a destination, island or not, you hear from its representatives that it is endowed with outstanding natural beauty, carries the most important history, has the most creative cuisine and has hospitality in its DNA. So, why do we say that Crete is a mustsee destination and we really believe that Crete stands out? For all these reasons, but also for all its thematic architecture

which, in addition to its thousands of small and large beaches, has next to them the highest and most beautiful mountains, wonderful routes, gorges and ravines, lakes and caves, inland and coastline, in the bustling and luxurious north and the exciting and unexplored south. But above all, we Cretans are different because we see with your own eyes and we feel you are family, on the island where something is always happening and invites you to discover it, as you have always done and we welcome you to continue like this…

Anna Kalogeropoulou

Vice - Governor for Tourism

Dear visitor, the Peloponnese undoubtedly is one of the most beautiful areas in Greece. Its interesting geomorphology, the evergreen nature, the ideal climate and its deeply-rooted historical past make it a real earthly paradise. It is by no accident that 5 out of 17 Greek monuments listed by UNESCO are located in the Peloponnese. Specifically, these monuments are Mycenae, Tiryntha, Mystra, Epidaurus and Apollo Epicurius. The infra strucrure and transportation networks available an which are constantly expanding, have created ideal conditions of access and accommodation for all tourists. This mosaic also includes cultural and sports events which attract traditions and adven ture lovers.

Because of its location, its size, its infrastructure and the unex ploited tourism attractions including great wines, the Pelo ponnese, hit the least by Covid-19, could be the next upcoming destination in the Mediterranean and in the tourism portfolio of Greece through continued, focused marketing. After the Co vid-19 crisis, visitors will likely prefer less popular and crowded destinations. It could be a great opportunity for the region to develop very sustainable wine tourism and wine industry, while it will help wineries to promote themselves as safe and Covid-free, a “brand” that will help them sell their products worldwide while attracting visitors.

The formation and promotion of “Food and Drink” is a criti cal element in the offer of integrated and specialized tourist experiences and can contribute to the increase of local tourism income and, above all, to strengthen the engagement of visitors with the locality. In the Peloponnese, these elements do not simply serve our senses! They are a crucial element of our very identity and existence and are accompanied by a narrative that includes the new, the old, places and people.”

Furthermore, Destinations that are less known, yet equally attractive, should be promoted as safe and Covid-free and be gradually integrated amongst other well-known and sought destinations. The Region of Peloponnese will be implementing a program entitled: “Promotion of thematic types of tourism in the region of Peloponnese,” with this prospect in mind.

This year, the visit of tourist professionals of Germany and top tourism journalists creates prospects of pointing out all the comparative advantages of our country and especially of the re gion of the Peloponnese, concerning one of our most important market sectors over time.

Despite the difficult conditions created by the pandemic, the willpower of the European Company (Societas Europaea) to wards traveling, in combinations with the never-ending love for Greece, made it possible to carry out the real-time Event in the Peloponnese this year.

It is a vote of confidence in our country as well as in the Pelo ponnese region, which not only is a very promising and uplifting tourist destination “beyond the obvious,” but it is also an area with significant culture, history, and natural beauty, modern and traditional quality accommodation and ongoing tourism infrastructure.

The challenge for us, the Prefecture and Local Communities, will be to offer prospective tourists genuine hospitality and quality services, unique experiences and pleasant accommodations, as well as to make a great impression regarding the authenticity of the destination.

Nikolaos Korovesis

◆ Vice - Governor of Culture and Tourism of the Region of Western Greece

The long history and the challenging Region of Western Greece have made it a remarkable destination for both domestic and international visitors. We‘re now leading the way using tools that highlight the land of the Olympic Flame targeting every discerning market. With its comparative advantages in Sus tainable Tourism, Gastronomy, Entertainment and Religious Tourism, the Olympic Land is a perfect experience for every visitor. On our side, we innovate with activities that highlight these strengths, participating in International Exhibitions and

opening communication channels with new markets. We take active part in the international trends for the development of thematic tourism. We carry out targeted quality campaigns with the aim of highlighting all the quality characteristics that have been governing the region of Western Greece over the years. The new brand name that now accompanies the Region aims at achieving this goal. The Land of Olympia „Olympian Land“ is now obtaining the identity it deserves based on the values and ideals that have been governing us throughout the centuries.

Andonis V. Cambourakis

Mayor of Rhodes

In 2022 Rhodes rose to the top of Greece’s tourist destinations and the British market highly contributed to this success. At times full of challenges, success is built with insight, preparedness and determination. Such characteristics are constantly confirmed in the close relationship of cooperation and trust between Rhodes and the British market.

Rhodes is an island with worldwide reputation. It has unique natural beauty, rich history, modern infrastructure and offers a multitude of options: impressive archaeological and medie val monuments, countless beaches, activities in nature, water

sports, walks and markets, but also distinctive tastes as it has a unique culinary tradition. At the same time, we are promo ting large-scale actions aiming at making Rhodes a pioneering model of sustainable tourism development on a global level. With this confidence that such success gives us, we continue with optimism for the next year as well. Our presence in the World Travel Market marks the effort to reach new levels in 2023, always with a smile, courtesy and quality of service to the guests who honor us with their choice. The invitation to our British friends is ongoing to either discover or relive the unique experience of Rhodesian hospitality.

Alexandros Vassilikos

President of the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels

Filoxenia (Hospitality) is Greece: its unique natural be auty, its history, its culture and the tradition of Xenios Dias which has been preserved unchanged over time.

With classical monuments as well as with modern artistic creations. With unique culinary experiences and versatile entertainment. And it not just that; it is also safe and reliable, as was proved during the pandemic adventure and we are proud as we have received international credit for the contribution of Greece to the tourism restart. These characteristics make Greece one of the leading global desti nations, as it proved in 2022. With the UK market playing a leading role in this year’s success as well, confirming a timeless relations hip, founded on the values of trust and good cooperation. We can build the next day on this solid foundation by further strengthening our collaborative relationship with the UK market and multiplying opportunities and possibilities for mutual benefits for both countries.

Towards this direction, we constantly upgrade the quality of our hotel product and it is typical that every year we invest 1 billion

euros in the renovation and upgrading of our hotel units. At the same time, the increase in tourism investments in Greece and the placing of major international brands on the country’s tourist map is proof of confidence in the great potential of Greek hospitality in the years to come, providing options 365 days a year. We also consistently strive to be a “smart destination for smart visitors”. Modern technology allows visitors to seek a “personali zed experience” tailored to their needs and interests. Our goal is ongoing innovation and the use of new technologies so that easily, quickly and simply each of our potential visitors can compose the experience they want to live in Greece in their own way.

World Travel Market marks, like every year, the start of prepara tions for Greek tourism ahead of the new season. This is always an ideal opportunity to invite our friends from the UK to meet with the unique travel experience that only Greece can offer them!

Warm congratulations on the 18th special annual English edition of MONEY & TOURISM, which has become an institution and journalistically highlights the Greek representation in the World Travel Market.

Grigoris Tasios

President of the Hellenic Hoteliers Federation

Great Britain steadily remains one of the top mar kets for Greek tourism. And there is good reason for that.

First of all, there is a deep-rooted relationship of trust that has been built over the years, which withstands even large-scale shocks. That is exactly why we firmly believe that all the conditions are in place to achieve much more in the years to come.

Greece is a global destination with unparalleled natural beauty, inexhaustible historical wealth, monuments of incomparable aesthetics, unique experiences of entertainment and fun. In addition, it has state-of-the-art hotel infrastructure which is constantly upgraded in order to provide high quality services, and the warmth of traditional Greek hospitality.

Tourism plays a leading role in the life of the country, as the

2022 season has proved. The big bet is to be welcoming our Bri tish friends 365 days a year, whether in popular and well-loved Greek destinations, or in new destinations worth discovering for British visitors in all seasons, throughout Greece and of a wide range: from luxury tourism to rare travel experiences and from culinary delights to cycling or diving tourism.

Any time throughout the year, even on a single day, every British visitor to Greece can experience such different and distinct emotions that create a unique and unforgettable experience.

And all this in a modern, European country, friendly to new technologies and safe.

We remain certain that this year’s WTM will mark, despite the challenges of the times, another successful year of cooperation.

Investing together, working in an organized and intelligent way, it is up to us to make 2023 a landmark year!

Michalis Vlatakis

President of the Association of Tourist and Travel Agents of Crete

Dear All, The Association of Tourist and Travel Agents of Crete, that I have the honor to represent, is the driver of almost all our Tourism action through its members. Over the last challenging years of the pandemic, our Association took the lead and gave its fight for the survival of the industry. Crete was shielded and coped with adversities setting the example for all other Tourism destinations in the country, crying out everywhere that we are here, to welcome you safely and to offer you the unique Cretan hospitality.

The pandemic is unfortunately followed by soaring prices and in flation; however, our long-standing resilience will find a solution again, through the diversity of offered services to cover customers of different financial standings, because the Sun, our Sea, the be autiful Nature of Crete, our unique historical places, and certainly our ‘tsikoudia’, drink we generously offer to every guest, will never be influenced by any wave of soaring prices and inflation. So we invite you next year, the year of strict choices in terms of travel and holiday options, to visit “Value for Money’ Crete and you won’t regret it.

On behalf of the Tourism Operators of Crete

Constantinos Deriziotis

Aparticularly successful year for Greek Tourism, but also for the United Kingdom, is closing in a few days.

The coronavirus, the war in Ukraine, the looming recession and the increase in the cost of living, have not had any effect on the desire of British tourists to travel. And of course one of the most preferred destinations was Greece.

After two years without travelling and without an outlet to the blue vastness of the sea, this year Greece has been the

magical destination for tourists from all over the world, who enjoyed the islands and the mainland, the unique beauty of the Greek seas, the blue coasts, the rivers surrounded by natural beauty the lakes, mountains and archaeological sites, which take us centuries back, as well as gastronomy, pure products, and the unique Greek hospitality. 2023 is right ahead.

Greece is even more ready, even safer, even more attractive awaiting you to offer unique relaxation and enjoyment. We look forward to welcoming you!

Tucked away on a radiant stretch of coastline in the north east of Crete, Daios Cove is the ultimate private hideaway of serenity for the discerning traveler.

The 5* resort boasts stunning views to the Aegean from a selection of luxury rooms, suites and villas. The wellness experience at the Goco Spa, a gastronomy collaboration with Ducasse Conseil and the exclusive Residents’ Club, are just a few of the resort’s outstanding offerings in holiday paradise.

Athens International Airport

Athens International Airport S.A. (AIA) was established in 1996 as a Public-Private Partnership with a 50-year conces sion agreement. Ratified initially by Greek Law 2338/95 and at a later stage by Law 4594/2019 , the concession agreement grants the right to use the airport site for the purpose of the “design, financing, construction, completion, commissi oning, maintenance, operation, management and develop ment of the airport”. AIA is a privately managed company, with the Greek State holding 55% of shares, while the private shareholders collectively hold 45%.

AIA is a pioneer international Public-Private Partnership, being the first major greenfield airport with the participati on of the private sector. The cost for the development of the airport was financed mainly from bank loans - with European Investment Bank being the major lender, while the remaining funding was provided through private shareholders equity

and EU and Greek State grants.

With a corporate goal to create sustainable value to all stake holders by offering value-for money services, AIA has a suc cessful developmental strategy, in both its aeronautical and non-aeronautical sectors. Offering one of the most advanced incentive and marketing support schemes, AIA ensures the sus tainability and development of domestic, regional and interna tional traffic, working closely with home carriers and internati onal carriers, legacy airlines and LCCs. In the non-aeronautical sector, AIA boasts advanced and extensive development initia tives from the high-quality consumer-related products offered at its commercial terminals, to its real estate assets. AIA’s IT & Telecommunications system and business activities are stellar examples of technological and business expertise. True to its industry, AIA exports the company’s pioneering know-how to aviation partners around the world.

AIA’s competitive advantages can be summarised as follows:

• 24-hour operations from two independent runways and ample airside and terminal capacity

• No delays on the ground or in the air

• State-of-the-art technology and equipment

• Highest standards in safety and security

• Efficient transfers offering a seamless and pleasant expe rience

• Advanced cargo facilities operating on a 24-hour basis at dedicated, bonded terminals

• Opportunities for new routes

• Attractive incentive schemes for the airlines

As a responsible company, AIA follows a balanced, stakehol der-focused approach, in accordance with the international standards and best practices. AIA’s corporate responsibility perspectives are defined in the areas of airport operator, corporate citizenship, environmental and employer respon sibility.

Thanks to its value-for-money services, Athens International Airport has earned numerous international awards and dis tinctions. Today, it forms a unique entrepreneurial entity of economic and social development in the Attica region. The airport community employs over 16,000 people and hosts approximately 370 companies, making it one of the largest

employment engines in Greece. In fact, a relevant study by the Foundation for Economic & Industrial Research publis hed in 2019, showed that AIA contributes to the national and local economy by 4.4% of the GDP.

As a result, AIA has managed to record a healthy financi al performance since 2001 and has delivered financial and non-financial value to all stakeholders involved.

Attica

The Greek Riviera

Frayed coasts, clean, bea utiful beaches, natural harbors and bays, forests and plains, sacred rocks with a long history.

Lacy shores, seas clean as a whistle, scenic beaches, natural coves and voes, forests and plains, holy rocks with a great historical past. These and a lot more com pose the image of the Attica land. The landscape alternations, the modern substructures and the potential of alternative 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 thous ands of aspects.

Athens is the birthplace of civilisation and it gives each visi tor the opportunity to travel into time. The magic travel with destination past begins from the holy rock of Acropolis, one of the most glorious monuments of the world and Parthenon, with its marvelous Caryatides. It continues to the archaeolo gical site of Pnika, where Ecclesia convened, one of the first democratic corps in the world, to the Agora (Athens’s Ancient Market), with the impressive Temple 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 museum, given that in every place of the city the archaeological excavations have disco vered finds from every period. Finds from the Byzantine peri od 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 wor ld, 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, Psi ri, the open-air market of Monastiraki 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 jealous 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 an cient circumvallation at the marina of Zeas, one of the biggest marines of the Mediterranean today and along the shores of Piraiki. Furthermore, the finds of an ancient theatre of the 2nd century in Pasalimani and the Public Theatre is also impressi ve. 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 Raf ti attract hundreds of visitors during 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 be aches. 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, Vou liagmeni, Kavouri and Glyfada are considered as the top sub urban areas. Sounio, with the Temple of Poseidon, which is one of the most beautiful temples of antiquity, 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.

Ionian Islands

The unparallel natural beauty, the unique culture, the tradition and of course the special 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 complex, as far as the strech of land is concerned. The interch ange 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 Melissani lake. Of course, the is land of Kefalonia is surrounded by endless bays and «lace ali ke» shores. Since 1757, the capital of Kefalonia and Ithaka Pre fecture is Argostoli, an aphitheatrically built city with a spen dit 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 significant 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 the se cities of the island that carry a great significance. In this city, one can find Iakovatios and Petritsios Libraries, in which worth mentioning collections of vestments and rare books are kept, as well as The Philarmonic School. Sami is a beau tiful town and Poros is one of the island’s main ports. As for the beaches of Kefalonia, those are certainly numerous and outstanding. To mention just a few among the prettiest and globally reputed, we could name the beaches of Mirtos, Mak ris 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 is land 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 sho res one can find pictoresque little bays and beaches with sand or pebbles. 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 influen ced 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 Palaikastrit sa, 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 is land. A narrow strip of land leads to Vlaxerna convent, 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 Aust rian Empress Elisabeth, more known as «Sissy».

Being called through the centuries, even from the period of the Venetian rule, as «The Levante’s Flower», Zante is one characteristic case of island where rare natural beauty meets the unique ecological significance, along with the history and the rich cultural and artistic tradition. Obvi ously, the island of Zante presents a landscape full of con trasts. While the most part of the island is mountainous, there are also visual variations with short pine-clad moun

tains 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 natu ral habitat of Caretta - Caretta turtle. Furthermore, in the same island we can also find the habitat of MonachusMonachus 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 re puted churches and pretty squares like the famous «Rou ga», or the tiled central square of St Mark, which attracts the lion part of activity.

The Mpoxali area, under the castle, can easily charm ever yone 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 pictores que villages with their tiled streets and the little tavernas, where one can taste original Zante cuisine. 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 cosmopolitan 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 surrounded by unique sandy beaches with their characteri stic «dove egg» shaped grains of sand, as Lefkada’s famous poet Aggelos Sikelianos had put it. The island is connected to the rest part of the country through a floating bridge of continuous circulation, a fact that ensures the benefit of an easy access. In the city of Lefkada, there is one of the larger and most modern sea marinas in Europe, whe reas 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 re ally busy village, Agios Nikitas, a traditional fishing village, Nikiana, an ideal place for surfing fans, Perigiali, a village crowded with tourists 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 conti nuously, whereas the most famous of them is the island of Skorpios, also known as «the island of Onassis».

Northern Greece

Being a «melting - pot» of disparate cultures as early as the ancient years, appearing as a realy «endowed» land in every way and possessing a really deeprooted 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 bordering Thrace. From an admi nistrational point of view, Macedonia is divided to three parts, Central, Western and Eastern Macedonia. In Central Macedonia, the first area in every visitor’s itinerary is Imathia Perfecture, in which «Seli» and «Pigadia of Naous sa» Ski Centers can be found. Apart from these two Centers, Aliakmona’s Valley, 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 visiting cities, one could point out Naoussa, an overwhelmingly green city. 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 consi dered 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 «tra demark». While in Thessaloniki, one can visit St. Dimitrios church, lots of interesting museums and of course «Roton da», a monument dated around 300 p.d., as well as Galerios Arch. 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 Chalkidiki 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.

Doirani lake, Axios river and the whole bushy green landsca pe are some of the advantages of Kilkis Perfecture. Capital of this Perfecture is the city of Kilkis, a beautiful city built on the foot of St George’s hill. 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 Per fecture, a city which overlooks the whole macedonian valley. Passing to Pierias Perfecture, the «scenary» is formed by Ki lometres of sandy coastlines, Olympus Mount which is the higher mountain of Grecce and, according to Greek mytho logy, it was also the formal residence of 12 Gods. The capital of this Perfecture is Katerini, a city built between Olympus Mount and Pieria Mountains. When it comes to Western Ma cedonia part, the first Perfecture to came across is that of Grevena. The rich flora, the unspoiled forests, the National Preserve of Pindos Mountains with its well known «Valia Kalnta», as well as the water sources and waterfalls create a unique nutural ensemble. The city of Grevena is the capital of the Perfecture, a city situated at tha same spot with the ancient city of Elimaia. The city of Kastoria, a city spread out

along the banks of the homonym lake, is the capital of the homonym Perfecture. Kozani Perfecture is also considered as one of the most «endowed» lands of Macedonia. The whole «picture» is composed by a complex of mountains and lake shore areas. The city of Kozani is the capital of this Perfecture, a city with old styled mansions. In Florina Perfecture, the landscape is often said «magic». Little and Big Prespa, the twin lake area wich is considered 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 «scenary». The city of Florina is the capital of the Perfecture. Going far east, we reach Drama Perfecture. The high moun tains 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. Kavala Perfecture combines brillianlty mountain with sea related delights. The city of Kavala is the capital of this Perfecture and is a mo dern city with interesting night life. The cities of Philippoi, a very important city from an archeological point of view and Chrysoupolis, attract hundreds of visitors every year.

The Perfecture of Serres is really famous for its aquatic hab itat 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.

The mosques in the turkish neighbourhood add a very speci al 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 bet ween East and West, as well as a «bridge» of communicati on between Europe and the Balkan area. The first Perfecture to meet during one’s course to Thrace is Xanthi. The city of Xanthi is the capital of this Perfecture, a city with a clock tower as a «trademark». Passing on Rodopi Perfecture, every visitor is amazed by this peaceful co-existance of Orthodox Christians, Pomaks and Muslims of turkish origin.

Epirus

Epirus manages to be a one-of-a-kind destination: an enviable combination of cultures and traditions, with a natural environment unique in Greece, and it never fails to surprise and delight its visitors. Epirus is located in the north-west corner of Greece and is an ideal travel destination all year round.

Epirus is the part of the world that combines ever ything. In a very short time, you can be transported from the top of the highest mountain to the green waters of magnificent beach in Parga or Igoumenitsa; you can admire the modern architecture in Ioannina,as well as the traditional nobility in Metsovo;you can engage in intense ac tivities and enjoy the peaceful tranquility. Epirus lies in the northwest of Greece. The country itself is part of the Balkan region, yet it reaches as far as the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This is the most mountainous region of the Greek peninsula, here in southeastern corner of Europe, the southernmost part of the Balkan Peninsula. The Pindos moun tain range, its tallest peak reaching a height of 2,600 meters, forms a natural border and at the same time is the area through which the region connects to the rest of the country. To the north of the administrative region of Epirus lies the border with Alba nia, to the east lie the regions of Macedonia and Thessaly, and to the south it reaches as far as the Ambracian Gulf and the bor

der with the region of Aitoloakarnania. To the west is the Ionian Sea and its seven islands. The administrative region consists of the Prefecture of Ioannina, its administrative centre being the city of Ioannina, the Prefecture of Arta (the city of Arta being the administrative centre), the Prefecture of Preveza (its administ rative centre being the city of same name, Preveza), and lastly Thesprotia, the centre of which is the city of Igoumenitsa. The capital city of the administrative region is Ioannina, located in the northwest. The region covers an area of 9,203 square kilome ters, approximately 6.7% of the total land area of Greece. Its po pulation numbers some 336,392 inhabitants. Its geomorphology is primarily characterised by mountainous terrain and abundant surface waters. The result is that this particular region is especi ally beautiful, with a richly diverse flora and fauna. The Epirus region contains two of the ten largest national parks in Greece: the Vikos-Aoos National Park and the Pindos National Park (Valia Kalda), as well as important wetland reserves such as Lake Pamvotida and the Kalamas and Ambracian Deltas, which have been declared vulnerable areas and are part of the Pan-Eu ropean Ecological Network Natura 2000. It is a virgin natural ha bitat, one of contrasts, harmoniously combining the wild beauty of green mountains with the calm blues of the sea. It is covered for the most part by large mountains with towering peaks. Shel tering among them lie forests and valleys, large and small, lakes, rivers, ravines, gorges, and springs gushing with crystal-clear wa ter. Lush vegetation and a variety of fauna complete the wild and beautiful whole. At the same time, some of the most entrancing beaches can be found along the extensive coastline of the Ionian Sea and the Ambracian Gulf. Protection and preservation of the natural environment and the many species that can call it home

is of critical importance.

The establishment of protected zones in the region, with the founding of the Northern Pindos National Park, the Tzoumerka National Park and the creation of the management authorities of Lake Pamvotis, Kalamas, and the Amvrakikos Wetlands, has the aim of instilling new awareness. In particular, their objective is the preservation and proper management of these rare biotopes and the species of flora and fauna native to the region, as well as instituting processes and measures to ensure the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.

Regional Unit of Preveza

An area with ancient establishments, impressive landscape di versity, cute coastal villages, serene esplanades. The Regional Unit of Preveza and its towns and villages combine everything that is needed in order to thrill every visitor!

After the desolation of Ancient Nikopolis, the city of Preveza, es tablished in the 12th century, takes over as the new administrati ve and financial center of Thesprotia. Today, with its picturesque alleys, the wonderful walk along the Amvrakikos, its neoclassical buildings and its fascinating cultural events is considered an es sential stop on your ride around the Epirus Riviera.

The amphitheatrically built “Nymph of Epirus” town of Parga is just a short ride away from Preveza and is one of the must-see’s of the area. Some of the reasons that make a visit worthwhile are the Castle, standing imposingly at the highest point of the town, the Island of Panagia with the chapel, the beautiful alleys and the paved promenade by the sea, as well as for the nearby Val tos, Kryoneri and Lychnos with their distinct crystal clear waters. During your getaway in the Regional Unit of Preveza, a stopover

in the village of Kamarina should not be skipped, above which prevails the rock from where the Souliotisses (the heroic women of Souli) fell; there lies the monument dedicated to the Soulio tisses in Zalongo as well. For those of you who have a soft spot for the Nature and the adventure, the village of Gliki is the ide al starting point for the exploration of river Acheron, while the coastal settlements of Ammoudia and Kastrosykia will charm you with the hypnotizing sea breeze of the Ionian Sea.

Regional Unit of Arta

The Regional Unit of Arta is the southeastern edge of Epirus. 70% of its mountainous terrain are harmoniously elevated mountain peaks with countless spring waters, plains, rivers such as Arach thos, Louros and Acheloos, fertile valleys with citrus crops, whi le the wetland of Amvrakikos is the seaside. In between all the above are villages and towns built in the past centuries by Artini ans who learned how to live with Nature, worship and respect it. The city of Arta is the capital of the Regional Unit of Arta, a city built on the ruins of glorious Ancient Amvrakia, monuments of which can still be found today in the city center. The famous sto ne bridge of Arta, the Monastery of Parigoritissa, as well as Skou fa Street with its market are some of the many attractions of the city. Make Arta your first stop on your road trip around the area!

Of the 30 villages in the Tzoumerka mountains, most belong to Arta. Vourgareli in the southern part of the mountain range, built at 800m near Acheloos, has one of the most picturesque squares and stunning views to the steep slopes. Melissourgi is another favorite village for every visitor, while Agnanda is a capital vil lage of Tzoumerka, with many running waters that gush directly from mountain springs such as Krya Vrysi, Goura and Karoula.

Theodoriana is the village with the most spring waters in Greece and one of the most significant villages in eastern Tzoumerka. Regional Unit of Ioannina

The Regional Unit of Ioannina is the largest of the four in surface area and population. Its capital is, of course, Ioannina, a city with a significant cultural depth, landscapes of huge natural beauty and an active young population which is the heart and soul of the city. See the Island of Ioannina, wander on the cobbled al leys, Kallari Street and Pargis Square and let the road take you to Its Kale, with the stunning view to Lake Pamvotida. After a full walk around Ioannina, it is time to explore the villages and the rest of the fascinating settlements of the regional unit.

The Zagorohoria are 46 villages with traditional architecture nestled in steep slopes and hillsides between Ioannina, Metsovo and Konitsa and among forests, stone bridges, scattered on the foothills of Mt. Tymfi and next to the 2 National Parks of Epirus. The name “Zagorohoria” is of Slavic origin and means “behind the mountains”. Discover Monodendri with the breathtaking view to Vikos Gorge, the village of Aristi built on the riverbed of Voi domatis, the impressive Mikro (small) and Megalo (great) Papigo under the “Towers of Astraka” rocks, Vovousa in the heart of the “Warm Valley” Valia Calda and Zitsa with its longstanding tradi tion in the white wines.

What could we possibly say about Metsovo! This govern ment-declared “traditional settlement” is a mountain town nest led at an altitude of 1,160m, with an attractive background that includes the “Metsovites” (people of Metsovo) of Vlach origin, renowned woodcarvers and their works throughout Greece and the Balkans. Metsovo–the name derives from Slavic “mecka” and “ovo” meaning the “village of the bear”, has a long history with benefactors, namely Evangelos Averoff, as well as a tradition in wine with the most mountainous vineyards in Greece and its seal of approval, that of..the bear brown!

At the northern end of the regional unit and between the moun

tains of Grammos, Tymfi and Smolikas lie the Mastorohoria, 27 settlements in Konitsa, built devoutly with stone and wood by the famous Epirus stone craftsmen. Take a tour around Pyrsoyi anni, Vourbiani, Plikati, Drosopigi, and Ayia Paraskevi.

On the lush green slopes of North Tzoumerka, the villages with traditional architecture will astound you. Pramanda, sheltered on the foot of the Strongoula peak is the epitome of Epirus au thenticity, while the nearby villages of Syrrako and Kalarrytes are mountainous destinations ideal for any season of the year. Hiking the easy trail that connects these two villages is a unique experience in itself!

Regional Unit of Thesprotia

The Regional Unit of Thesprotia is characterized by a long and beautiful coastline, but at the same time its mountainous areas are famous for the traditional air they exude. Igoumenitsa is a small coastal town and the largest port connecting Greece with Italy and the Balkan countries of the Adriatic Sea. Sivota, one of the most famous summer resorts of the main land Riviera, is a picturesque seaside village built in an idyllic landscape dominated by deep greenery, with hills surrounding a magnificent bay, islets and beaches with green waters. Say ada at the northwestern tip of Thesprotia is a village next to the Ionian Sea with cobbled streets, threshing floors, churches and archaeological sites such as the Tower of Sayada and Stro vili, while Filiates is located between the river Kalama and the Greek-Albanian border, with the ancient city of Titani, the Mo nastery of Gyromeri, the folklore museum of Tsamantas and the traditional settlements of Plaisio and Finiki nearby. Paramythia is a village amphitheatrically nestled at the foot of Mount Koryla and overlooks the fertile plain, while the seaside Perdika with its vast olive groves and deep blue coasts every night looks out at the lights of Corfu that shine from afar. Worth a visit is of course Souli, a mountain village similar to a fortress where the brave Souliotes warriors rebelled against Ali Pasha.

Peloponnese

In 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 th rough a lane of land, Isthmos of Corinth, of 5 km. width. Geographically and administratively Peloponnese is se parated to the subregions of Corinth, Argolida, Arkadia, Lakonia, Mesinis, Ilia and Achaia. Especially Corinth, which is next to the Corinthian and the Saro nic 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 Loutraki, 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 fes tival takes place, as well as from the cosmopolitan summer re sorts 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. Mycenae 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 traditional villages, large landscapes and clean shores. The capital of this re gion is Tripoli, located in the centre of the fertile land of Arkadia and Parnonas around it, with the rich monasteries, the scenic Di mitsana, the industrialized Megalopoli and the historic 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 Karitaina 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 we re 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 traditional rock to wers. The cave of Diros and the mountain of Taigetos are the gifts of nature for the land of Lakonia, while polls of attraction are Ne apoli and Elafonisos.

Continuing to the historic Mesinia, the tourist will meet a region with strong presence through the years, not only from the ancient ones, but also from the recent years, especially in the Revoluti on 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 Methoni 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 birthplace of the Olympic games. The tourist will be dazzled from the strong archaeological 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 Za charo the seaside city filled with pines and olive trees is found. The spa of Kaiafa, the river Alfios known from antiquity, the me diaeval Katakolo 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 im portant travel connection, as it is connects our country with Italy and Peloponnese with Ionian Islands. The clean and filled with green seashores of Peloponnese steal tourist’s heart at first sight. The beautiful and traditional village of Akrata, the verdant Dia kofto, 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 Pelo ponnese and Sterea Greece and Ipirus, the glorious Kalavrita, the Grand Cave and the legendary Agia Lavra, as well as the famous snow centre of Helmos.

Crete, Sense the Authentic

Crossway of the age-long seaways of Mediterranean, 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 bea ches, rough canyons, caves, native animals and in digenous plants, long olive and orange groves, villages forgot ten 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 attracted important scientists, philosophers, poets and artists, whereas during the Venetian and Turkish occupation, the cohabitation of people of different nationality, culture and religion (Orthodox Chris tians, Catholics, Jews and Mussulmans) has left deep “scars” and made remarkable creations. It is worth noticing that in the borders of the city with Acro tiri, 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, Elafonisi), the most magnificent canyon of Europe, the Canyon of Sama ria 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 folkways next to real people.

The municipality of Rethimno follows. It is the most alp area of Crete. It is an area with contradictions, with great history and legacy, natural 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 whe re the past changes into present and inspires tomorrow. The tourist can be guided in the nearest places from the capital of Rethymnon (Rethymnon city) with the Fortezza 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 revoluti onary 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 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 biggest economic centre and the capital of Crete’s region. It is the birthplace of Dominikos Theotokatos, but also birthplace of an import ant man of letters concerning literary Cretan tradition, Nikos Kazantzakis. In the streets, the squares of the city, the market, the Venetian port, the museums and in the churches, the visi tor will discover a city that through the valuable experience of the past is searching for something new, by offering magic and vitality. In Heraklio, the powers and the expressions of nature gain human characteristics and change into mythi cal characters. Every spring, in the holy mountain of Idis, the father of Gods, Zeus, is reborned. Also, the ecosystems that are growing in the alp parts of Heraklio 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 situated near desert islands with cedars (Chrisi) and historical monuments (Koufonisi). It has olive groves and vineyards and is lost in canyons, caves and crests. It provides table-lands (Lasithi, Katharo) and natural

creeks (Elounta) for relaxation. One can pray in picturesque little churches, monasteries and in peaks of the mountains. Climbers and ramblers worship 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 elements, absolute peace and savage unadulterated scenery with lots of interspersions in vegetation and a large variety of rare species. However, the re is a cosmopolitan air and a vivid nightlife. Lasithi with the endless beaches and the picturesque cities is situated next to the blue and crystal waters of the Northern and Southern Cretan (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 cos mopolitan. One can live in the cities, such as Agios Nikolaos, the capital, with scenic open view to Elounta and Spinalo ga, 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.

DDear visitors,

The post-covid season proved to be an excepti onally good season for Heraklion. Hospitality in the region has always been among the cham pions of the Greek economy. Not only because of its varsity, but mostly because of its diversity and the way it incorpo rates every professional into its business cycle. Heraklion is the largest Hotel community in the country, offering services that rise from a single b&b to a five-star hyper lux property. The airport is the second largest airport after Athens airport in terms of arrivals, with flights coming from every airport in

GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts

The Group

Our passion for hospitality is our driving force, but also the philosophy of GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts, a group that began its operation as a family business in 1988, with the first hotel, Golden Beach Hotel in Hersonisos, Crete. The vision of the owners was - and still is - to offer their guests high quality holidays, luxurious and comfortable accommodation and an overall experience of what „Cretan Hospitality“ means in its modern version. Thanks to the consistent quality services, the values that govern the business, but above all, its people who are its soul, the expansion to other accommodations was not long in coming. The Group today includes 5 privately owned hotels, SENSEANA Sea Side Resort & Spa, INSULA ALBA Resort & Spa, AKASHA Beach Hotel & Spa, Golden Beach Ho tel as well as KING MINOS RETREAT Resort & Spa. Today, 30 years later, GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts , a constantly growing Group characterized by love for luxury, reliability,

excellence, style and social sensitivity, decides to reposition itself on the map of Greek hospitality as a strong player, with a renewed profile.

The idea behind the Brand

Gold is precious. Anything made of gold has a high value. The jewelry is made of gold. Treasures contain gold items. The word „gold“ also describes the sun. Its reflection in the water in the summer, its light but also its precious entity. Beauty and high value are characterized as precious. GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts have value because they embrace Cretan Hospita lity in a landscape bathed in light, in a pristine nature, with a temperate climate. Crete itself is a manifesto of the great Minoan culture, healthy cuisine and good quality of life, pro sperity, abundance and authentic lifestyle. All these values have been adopted by GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts and their entire philosophy is based on the authentic and the precious.

The promise

GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts pamper their customers with in comparable Cretan Ηospitality, so they can create memories that will be precious to them throughout their life.

The slogan

Precious moments

The value of moments is defined by how memorable they are, how important they are to the person who experiences them, how often he returns to them and what position they take in the set of important moments of his life. But what defines which moment is important for everyone and why are the moments at GOLDEN Hotels & Resorts precious? The name of the hotels includes luxury as a concept. The architecture and decoration of the hotels has many elements of luxury and high aesthetics. It is about the globally recognized Cretan hospitality that always leaves the visitor with the best im

pressions and memories. The care, the treatment, the food... everything is consistent with the visitor experiencing some of the most beautiful and unforgettable moments of his life, to experience precious moments for him and his family.

The origin

The source of inspiration for the Group‘s logo was the double pelekis or - in Lydian - lavrys. It summarizes the law of action and reaction that exists in nature. The word Lavrys is related to „ploughing“ and from there comes the word labyrinth = house of the Lavryos, a characteristic symbol in Crete from the mythology and history of the Minotaur. The double pele kis as a symbol is found in frescoes and also as a tool during the Minoan period. www.goldenhotels.gr

South Aegean

The South Aegean region is one of the thirteen administrative regions of Greece. Administration includes the prefectures of Cyclades and Dodecanese.

Cyclades

Some dots in the Greek map, other small and other big, but very important for the civilisation and history, but also for the tourist development of the country, Cyclades, are located for many deca des 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 Mediterrane an civilisation, the rare geomorphologic site, that consists of rocky hills, the ”naked” mountains, the golden beaches and the amazing seashores of the 56 islands (Cyclades), the gastronomy. The traditi on in combination with the developed, in some of the islands, hotel and tourist substructure, have discriminated Cyclades as one of the top Greek tourist destinations. Santorini, Myconos, Syros, Andros, Tinos, Dilos, Paros, Antiparos, Naxos, Iraklia, 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 vacations for all tastes.

Santorini is one of the most popular islands not only in national level, but also in European one. In 2001, the readers of the maga zine: “Travel and Leisure”, which is circulated worldwide, asset of American Express, elected Santorini as the most popular island in Europe. As the ship closes, the visitor is amazed from the whi te 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 muse um of the pre-historic Thira, with plant fossils, the Belonio cultu ral 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 tradi tional dorps with the distinguishable houses.

One of the islands, a symbol of the international jet set is Myco nos, which attracts hundreds 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. 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, pictu resque 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 Hermoupoli. The European essence of the city is spared everywhere, with the neo-classical buildings and the renovated mansion- buildings, which however, come to a harm ony 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

entertainment and leisure facilities. Apart from the casino and the nightclubs, during the year theatrical and cinema shows, cultural events etc. take place

Dodecanese

Quite islands, far away from tourism reality, they still preserve tra ditions and folkways, while at the same time they are cosmopoli tan with a European air. The Dodecanese. Rhodes, Kos, Astipalea, Karpathos, Kalimnos, Kasos, Kastelorizo, Lipsi, Leros, Nisiros, Pat mos, 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 cer tain that they will not be bored, not even for a moment. The scenery 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 appropriate 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 is land 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 re build after the catastrophic earthquake of 1933 from the Italian conquerors.

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 bea ches. For example, in Kardamena the bathers will enjoy the sun and the sea, as well as in Mastihari, Tigaki, Marmari and some where else.

Manolis Markopoulos

President of the Rhodes Hotel Association

Rhodes was promoted this tourist season as one of the most popular destinations in Greece. The British market considerably contributed to this huge success and this was not accidental. Rhodes, the emerald island in the blue Aegean Sea, with its endless natural and cultural resources, has been a long-standing favorite destination in the minds and hearts of our British friends planning their ho lidays. And that’s the reason why there is an ongoing relations hip of trust, and Rhodes welcomes our British visitors just the way it welcomes good friends.

Based on this steady relationship of trust, we can build the following day. We can reinforce the relationship of Rhodes with the United Kingdom market and multiply the opportunities and potentials for co operations. Rhodes constantly upgrades and enriches its tourist product, with emphasis on sustainable development and the restriction of its ecological footprint in its tourist activities. There are new infrastructures with optimal services of hotel accommodation. So, our invitation to our British friends is ongoing since Rhodes can always offer them, either with nostalgia or discovery a unique travel experience!

NOŪS Santorini, the island’s largest resort is ready to welcome you

A new concept on hospitality

The newest member of DONKEY Hotels Group, operated and managed by YES! Hotels, opened this summer in Santorini.

Perfectly aligned with the “Young Enthusiastic Seductive” phi losophy that defines the hospitality concept of YES! Hotels, Santorini’s new gem is defined by art, authentic design icons and attention to premium, personalized services for every guest. This is the essence of NOŪS. Everything that makes Santorini so special in a global scale, its unique history and heritage are to be found in NOŪS.

The powerful, volcanic nature of Santorini is reflected in the decorative details of black “burnt” wood. The woven low vines – so typical of the island – are the inspiration behind the shades, while the three famous beaches, the Red, the Black and the White one define the color palette of earthy shades that dress all areas of the resort. A number of mo dern design icons, signed by some of the most influential designers of our time, can be found in the rooms and the public areas of NOŪS. The resort features an extensive collection of contemporary

works of art by young Greek artists. Inspired by Santorini’s extraordinary history and volcanic nature, the artists have created original items exclusively for NOŪS. The destructive but also regenerative energy of the volcano, which has shaped the island, fuels artistic expression, which becomes a subtle, invisible thread connecting the resort to this mythical land. Gastronomy at NOŪS is based on the culinary traditions of Santorini and the special ingredients that are locally sourced in the island. The quality of the ingredients and the simplicity of the cooking techniques are the pillars on which our menus are built. Tastes and flavors that are part of the Greek collec tive DNA, are presented in a modern, creative way.

At NOŪS everything begins and ends with Santorini. The ar chitecture, the interior design, the gastronomy, they are all so well-rooted in the history and traditions of this unique, mesmerizing place.

Experience Santorini through a new, completely modern con cept of hospitality, where authenticity and uniqueness are of key importance.

KENSHŌ ORNOS

Deriving inspiration from the values of authentic hospi tality and the uniqueness of the Cycladic landscape, the first 5* Kenshō Boutique Hotel opened on the beach of Ornos in 2016.

Just a few kilometers away from Mykonos Town, its 10 sui tes and 25 rooms invite guests to an exclusive vacation experience, comprising of high-end gastronomic choices and absolute rejuvenation and wellness moments (every room and every suite has its own hot tub or plunge pool), all set in one of the most beautiful locations on the Island of the Winds.

The interior design in all areas creates a special feeling of “barefoot, bohemian luxury” while all the contemporary fa cilities that today’s discerning traveler looks for, are there. A secluded haven of high aesthetics, wellness oriented, Kenshō Ornos delivers what its name promises: a deeper awakening of all emotions.

THE UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE OF KENSHO

Kenshō means enlightenment in Japanese. Ken means see and shō means in nature. So, I would say that Kenshō is all about getting in touch with all your senses and nature. That is why all the material being used in the hotel are natural, like wood and natural stone which coming from Mykonos. Kenshō is a design boutique hotel, firstly, because it as pires the boutique hotel philosophy and every room’s design and decoration are unique, and secondly because all the furniture and the lighting are by famous designers such as Paola Navone, Claudio Bellini, Tom Dixon. Under the bright sun of Mykonos, a unique architectural style was born. Authentic, simple, and timeless, Mykonian archi tecture leaves no room for anything superfluous or unneces sary. With stone and natural wood being its main tools, it has given shape to settlements that are known all over the world

for their pure minimalism. Kenshō Ornos respects the values of Mykonian architec ture. Nestled in the island’s relief it is fully integrated in the landscape, recalling memories of tradition. The colour palette used, the materials and their textures are all rooted in the his tory of Mykonos. At the same time state-of-the-art technology and original design icons coexist creating a contemporary and serene personal haven where our guests can truly relax. In your room, or in the common areas of the hotel, you will find iconic design object by: Gervasoni
