A variety of conference centres and exhibition venues as well as a big number of deluxe hotels equipped to function as conference centres, offer all the necessary state-of-the-art facilities in order to accommodate international conferences of any size.
During the last years a rapid development of professional tourism has taken place in Athens. At the same time the number of participants who come to attend international conferences or visit international commercial exhibitions, increases year after year, showing that Greece is not just a traditional tourist destination but it also has the ability to accommodate conventions and conferences.
Athens is indeed the ideal city for undertaking international congresses.
Its stabilised economy, the unique strategic position, the climate, the rich archaeological inheritance, the variety of tourist choices for the pre and post congress period, the big experience of PCOs and its historical relationship with art, culture, sciences and a variety of professions linking sentimentally with the latter, claim that there is no other place more ideal than Athens for a conference.
Safety was never the issue
Security levels in Greece are high, and the crime rate is among the lowest in the world, certainly far below the European Union average. More than 10 million tourists visit Greece each year, enjoying their holidays in an atmosphere of safety and tranquillity that further enhances the traditional hospitality so characteristic of the country. Since it is a safe country, Greece can host any kind of scientific, cultural and sports event in an atmosphere of good order and security.
