Conference Facilities

Situated in the south-eastern tip of Europe, one of the planet's most favorable and sunny corners, Greece has developed into a much preferred destination for all kinds of tourism, especially professional tourism, including international scientific and commercial conferences, incentives, exhibitions and fairs, seminars and all kinds of meetings.

Olympic-related renovation fever and major investment have brought great changes in the accommodation sector. Backed by almost half a century of experience in hosting international visitors, as well as the reputation for Greek hospitality, major hotel chains and medium-to-small size units in the Greek capital have undergone extensive upgrades and renovation. Almost all units have obtained a professional makeover, targeting eclectic tourists and above all business travellers and conference organisers. Executive floors, business centres and the concept of "an office in your hotel room" have become almost standard features for Athens hotels.

Athens has been the choice of Professional Congress Organisers (PCO's) who have long ago been aware of the advantages involved in holding events here. The extensive range of modern facilities, including hotels of all classes, high standard conference halls, showrooms, travel services and easy transportation are not concentrated in one city, they are spread throughout Greece to all directions in the mainland and hundreds of pretty islands. Mild weather conditions allow for the organisation of events year round. Organisers have found it interesting to hold incentives or conferences on board luxury cruisers and yachts, the 'floating congress', under the bright sun, enhancing the effectiveness and success of events while giving participants the opportunity for a unique experience in the tranquil, azure waters of the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas.
