2 Don t miss it be part of the miracle called Greece! At the crossroads between Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Middle East and North Africa, Greece is reachable from all major cities in Europe and beyond. Most of the hotels are fully renovated or even rebuilt and have invested in additional facilities, supplying a variety of alternative services like Spa Centers and Thalassotherapy, Sports Grounds and Restaurants of exquisite gastronomic aesthetics that make the stay unique. The Greeks are deeply cultural and hospitable people. Every single month of the year, in all parts of the country, well known feasts take place with music, dance and local dishes, offering visitors unforgettable experiences. The ideal weather conditions make Greece the perfect destination for hosting all kinds of professional meetings & events or groups of special interest, since most of the year the weather is mild and summer is somehow present. Why Greece? And definitely there is something that Greece is all famous for its history. The Acropolis is the country s most treasured symbol, known throughout the world. In every corner of Athens, ancient buildings and monuments reveal the culture that has determined all of Europe s History. But that is not all! Greece preserves important monuments from the Medieval and Byzantine times, the Ottoman and the Venetian Domination, satisfying even the most demanding visitor. The performances at ancient theatres like Epidaurus, as they continue to take place at the exact place that ancient tragedy and comedy were born, take the visitor thousands of years back to the times of Euripides and Aristophanes. The world famous Greek islands, with their mild climate and sunny skies are the perfect place to visit in order to relax, enjoying the now famous worldwide Greek Cuisine and tasting some of the world famous Greek wines.
