    NOVEMBER 2014 | PRICE €400 IN FOCUS: ATHENS, GREECE Pavlos Papadimitriou, MBA Senior Associate Panagiotis Verykios Analyst www.hvs.com HVS ATHENS | 17 Posidonos Ave. 5th Floor, 17455 Alimos, Athens, GREECE This market snapshot is part of a series of articles that HVS occasionally produces on key tourism destinations across Greece. In writing these articles, we utilise the expertise of HVS for each market to the full extent combining our in- house data and research together with published information regarding each of the examined destinations. Highlights • Since 2009 the negative publicity stemming from the rumours regarding the economic situation of Greece led to socio- political and economic turbulence which generated significant fluctuations in tourist arrivals during the period of 2009- 12. Due to the double elections held in May and June of that year, 2012 was rather ‘slow’ for Greek tourism. Tourism statistics for Athens over the period 2009-11 were also volatile, contrary to resort destinations which have followed a rather stable or upward path in the last few years. Moreover, approximately 80 hotels closed down in the same period, the vast majority of them classified as three-star and lower; • During 2008-12, revenue per available room (RevPAR) for all hotels in Athens decreased by a remarkable 35.9% as a result of the economic crisis that affected the city. For the same period, RevPAR for five-star hotels decreased by 30.5% and for four-star hotels by 36.4%; • According to one of the most recent reports of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Greece has unquestionably made significant strides in overcoming deep-rooted problems, with the three most noteworthy achievements standing out being the progress on fiscal adjustment, the narrowing of the competitiveness gap, and the stabilisation of the banking sector; • In 2013, 17.9 million international tourists visited Greece, spending €12.0 billion, up from €10.4 billion in 2012.

    Cultural Heritage in the Realm of the Commons: Conversations on the Case of Greece

    CHAPTER 10 Commoning Over a Cup of Coffee: The Case of Kafeneio, a Co-op Cafe at Plato’s Academy Chrysostomos Galanos The story of Kafeneio Kafeneio, a co-op cafe at Plato’s Academy in Athens, was founded on the 1st of May 2010. The opening day was combined with an open, self-organised gather- ing that emphasised the need to reclaim open public spaces for the people. It is important to note that every turning point in the life of Kafeneio was somehow linked to a large gathering. Indeed, the very start of the initiative, in September 2009, took the form of an alternative festival which we named ‘Point Defect’. In order to understand the choice of ‘Point Defect’ as the name for the launch party, one need only look at the press release we made at the time: ‘When we have a perfect crystal, all atoms are positioned exactly at the points they should be, for the crystal to be intact; in the molecular structure of this crystal everything seems aligned. It can be, however, that one of the atoms is not at place or missing, or another type of atom is at its place. In that case we say that the crystal has a ‘point defect’, a point where its struc- ture is not perfect, a point from which the crystal could start collapsing’.

    CINÉ PARIS PLAKA KIDATHINEON 20 UPDATED: MAY 2019 Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing Ciné Paris Plaka for your stay in Athens. You have chosen an apartment in the heart of Athens, in the old town of Plaka. In the shadow of the Acropolis and its ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes, local ceramics and souvenirs. Sidewalk cafes and family-run taverns stay open until late, and Cine Paris (next door) shows classic movies al fresco. Nearby, the whitewashed homes of the Anafiotika neighborhood give the small enclave a Greek-island vibe. Following is a small list of recommendations and useful information for you. It is by no means an exhaustive list as there are too many places to eat, drink and sight-see than we could possibly put down. Rather, this is a list of places that we enjoy and that our guests seem to like. We find that our guests like to discover things themselves. After all is that not a great part of the joy of traveling? To discover new experiences and places. We wish you a wonderful stay, and we hope you love Athens! __________________________________________________ The site to purchase tickets online for the Acropolis and slopes, The Temple of Olympian Zeus, Kerameikos, Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, Adrians Library and Aristotle's School is here https://etickets.tap.gr/ Once you access the site in the left-hand corner there are the letters EΛ|EN; click on the EN for English.
