ATHENS MEETING PLANNER’S GUIDE 2 A few words by the Mayor I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to Athens, a lively, cosmopolitan metropolis, harmoniously reconciling the past and the present. Athens is a city with three UNESCO heritage sites, the longest pedestrian archeological walk in Europe, the birthplace of Plato’s symposium and with an innate capacity for organizing social gatherings. A city endowed with year-round sunshine, the European capital city with the most blue flag beaches, a booming gastronomic scene where Mediterranean fusions open up new gourmet flavors, and warm, hospitable people. In addition to world class cultural heritage attractions, in Athens you will find new high-end convention facilities, newly built or recently renovated hotels, a vibrant entertainment scene and a state-of-the-art transportation network to accommodate the needs of the most demanding of events. Athens is a destination with unique dynamic and great potential. Conferences, company meetings, exhibitions and incentive travel constitute the core of the local tourism industry and a strategic priority for the City of Athens. In this direction, the Athens Convention & Visitors Bureau is committed, through its team of highly experienced and motivated professionals, to providing you assistance and sophisticated, tailor-made solutions to guarantee the success of your event. With these thoughts, I invite you to bring your event to Athens. To a city that has the infrastructure and the know- how to successfully organize events. To a city that knows how to guarantee new thrills and that longs to leave its mark in the hearts of all its visitors. I look forward to welcoming you to Athens! Georgios Kaminis Mayor of Athens 3 ATHENS MEETING PLANNER’S GUIDE WELCOME TO ATHENS the historical capital of Europe, with a long, rich history and modern vibrations. What is it that makes more and more travelers annually choose Athens as their destination- for business or pleasure, in winter or summer? Could it be its long list of things to see and do, and its lovely- most of the time- weather conditions? Or is it perhaps because Athens is ranked amongst the safest European capitals? Not to forget, it is a city where functionality, culture and indulgence meet: from the efficient, user-friendly transportation You will find the Greek capital emerging between stun- network and some of the world’s most ning coast and mountain lines of natural beauty and important museums and archaeological breathtaking landscapes. Located at the crossroads of monuments, to the awarded, high-quality three continents and multiple civilizations throughout restaurants that cater to every taste. history, its close-to-four million population constitutes a hub of many cultures. Most importantly, its welcom- ing and hospitable culture and people make every vis- itor feel at home. The Athenian metropolis is steadily turning into a high- ly connected city, one direct flight at a time. This is due to an increasing number of international carriers flying into Athens’ new and award-winning airport every year. Athens is an ideal congress destination, combining state-of-the-art infrastructure, excellent conference fa- cilities and easy access from all over the world, with world-class cultural attractions, modern amenities, di- verse entertainment and natural beauty. Even more, the Athenian accommodation product is wrapped in a well-polished package due to an extensive renovation for the upcoming, at that time, 2004 Olympic Games. Thus, the city offers a superior experience for contem- porary visitors with comfortable and stylish accommo- dation, and thoughtful and outstanding services. ATHENS MEETING PLANNER’S GUIDE 4 GENERAL INFORMATION LANGUAGE The native language of the population is Modern Greek. English is widely spoken as a second language by the majority of Greeks, while French and German are also spoken to a good extent.

HEALTH Emergency treatment is free to all visitors in public hospitals. CURRENCY Greece has been a full member of the European Union since 1981, and its currency is the Euro (€). All major credit cards are widely accepted in Greece. VISA INFORMATION Greece follows the Schengen Agreement provision and the subsequent acquis concerning short term visa is- sues stays of up to three (3) months in the Schengen area. Holders of regular passports from the rest of the world need a visa to be able to visit Greece (and the rest of the Schengen area). 5 ATHENS MEETING PLANNER’S GUIDE WHY ATHENS Athens offers a diverse product, combining the qualities of a contemporary metropolis with those of a remarkable archaeological heritage- evident in every part of the city. It is this very quality that turns each convention into a big success. From Plato’s “Symposium”, to today’s international, European and national meetings, the “innate Athenian capacity for social gatherings” brings out the best in yourself, turning your convention into a rare experience.

This upgrade is still ongoing for the con- stant improvement of services and facilities provided. A study commissioned by the Athens Development & Destination Management Agency on Athens’ Tourist Sector in the Pre and the Post Olympic Games eras, shows that the average length of a foreign tourist’s stay in a hotel in Athens is at 2,3 days, setting the Greek cap- ital ahead of other major European capital cities. ATHENS MEETING PLANNER’S GUIDE 6 PROFESSIONALISM In recent years, Athens has been firmly established as the top meeting destination in Greece and has climbed to the top 25 most popular meeting destinations world- wide. The rise can, to a great extent, be attributed to the city’s highly qualified professionals in various fields of the tourism industry and in particular, the meetings industry.

  • Cult and Crisis: a GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica
    Open Archaeology 2019; 5: 383–395 Original Study Constanze Graml*, Manuel Hunziker, Katharina Vukadin Cult and Crisis: A GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2019-0024 Received February 12, 2019; accepted June 18, 2019 Abstract: From a political point of view, 3rd century BCE Athens represents a shattered unity. Parts of the Athenian countryside and even the city itself were occupied by foreign troops. This loss of control affected the city’s political, economic, social, cultural, and religious life. Since Cleisthenic times, relations between political units and religious communities had become institutionalised through specific cults. Other cult places of relevance to the larger community and therefore with a catchment area that exceeded a deme, e.g. Eleusis, were also affected, as they lay within the occupied territories. This partial inaccessibility of the countryside risked the disruption of religious duties. The project “Cult and Crisis: The Sacred Landscape of Attica and its Correlation to Political Topography” aims to identify potentially affected cult places with no limitations regarding their possible catchment area by analysing their placement in relation to foreign military bases. Alterations in cult practice can plausibly be detected in changes ranging from cessation to the rerouting of ritual movement or the establishment of substitute cult places. As these “solutions” rarely feature in written sources, our GIS-based approach will focus on material remains from sanctuaries. Although an object’s use for ritual practice cannot be deduced with certainty, the distribution of finds certainly attests to human activity. This contribution presents a trial of this approach, taking the Sounion area as its case study.

  • Sociolinguistic Variation in Athenian Suburban Speech
    Journal of Greek Linguistics 13 (2013) 30–53 brill.com/jgl Sociolinguistic Variation in Athenian Suburban Speech Irene Theodoropoulou Qatar University [email protected] Abstract This article focuses on the description and interpretation of the social meaning of sociolinguis- tic variation in Athenian suburban speech. A descriptive statistical and a Varbrul analysis of the syntactic variable Verb and presence or absence of Prepositional Phrase (V +/– PP), as it is used by native northern and western suburbanites of Athens, suggests that primarily the area (northern and western suburbia) and, to a lesser extent, the sex of the speakers are statistically significant macro social factors constraining variation. In an effort to tease out the social meaning of the varia- tion, a further analysis of some micro factors within each area, including the group of speakers, the topic, and the stance towards the rivalry between the aforementioned suburban areas, suggests that variation in both areas is interactionally constrained, but in the northern area it tends to be more friendship group-constrained, while in the western area it is more education-constrained. In light of these findings, the sociolinguistic implications of the study translate into the analytical need to account for the relationship between interactional and social factors in the description of variable grammars. Keywords sociolinguistic variation; Athenian Greek; stance; social class; Varbrul; semi-structured conversa- tion; friendship group; suburbs 1. Introduction The recent (and still ongoing) social unrest in Athens, the capital of Greece, resulting primarily from the austerity measures that the Greek government has adopted in order to tackle the harsh financial situation the country has been facing for a long time, has revived an interdisciplinary interest in the social geographical mosaic of the contemporary Athenian society.

  • GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS George Zongolopoulos (Athens, 1903-2004) Was One of the Most Important Greek Artists and Representatives Of
    GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS George Zongolopoulos (Athens, 1903-2004) was one of the most important Greek artists and representatives of the so called “Generation of 1930s” with diverse and internationally recognized work. The work of the artist, who was often called the “eternal teenager”, extends across the unusual vector of time of almost eight decades, and its rich range of subject matter is characterized by incessant renewal. Biography George Zongolopoulos was born on March 1st, 1903, in Deligiorgi Street in the center of Athens, while his place of origin was the village Manna or Markasi in Corinth (as Zongolopoulos narrated to his family the real year of his birth was 1901 and not 1903 as is appeared in all his official documents). He grew up in a family of lawyers that did not encourage him to deal professionally with art, although he showed a special inclination towards painting and drawing from childhood. He served his military service as a sergeant until 1923 and during that period he met his peer and later important Greek architect Patroklos Karantinos, who became one of his closest friends and colleagues. First years of apprenticeship o National Technical University of Athens, Athens School of Fine Arts (1924-1930) In 1924 he entered the Athens School of Fine Arts and studied sculpture under Academician Thomas Thomopoulos. In his student years he expressed with militancy his opinion on the need for modernization and reorganization of teaching, and also on the need to increase the School‟s budget. His attitude towards the academicism of the School and his participation in the “occupation” of the School by its students in 1929 meant for the young Zongolopoulos expulsion from the School for a year.

Hidden cities within a city? A large trending literature concerning urban and suburban poverty concentration patterns has been developed during the last decade. However, there are few cases where adequate data exist at a low spatial level, allowing the exploration of such socio-spatial phenomena. This paper seeks to investigate the structure and evolution of poverty within urban and suburban space, under a multidimensional framework, during a period of extended economic transformation. This paper uses the metropolitan area of Athens as its main case study, for which data at a municipal level exist, allowing the calculation of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) for the years 2006 and 2011. An extended cluster analysis, based on the calculated MPI values, results in the specification of three poverty clusters within Athens. The decomposition of the MPI index into its main dimensions highlights any existing differences between the structural and behavioural characteristics of each of them. The results indicate that there is a clear spatial concentration of poverty in the west suburban areas of Athens. The urban core of the city is characterised by middle-income municipalities, whilst the north-east and the south-east suburban areas experience low-poverty indicators. Finally, the results suggest that during the period under investigation more deprived areas were affected the most.
