corporate event management greeceAthens Attica's circular plain has, due to the mild climate and fertile grounds, been very convenient for the formation of Athens, one of the largest cities in antiquity. Organised life in Athens already existed from the Neolithic period when the first inhabitants, in 4000-3000 BC, gathered around the hill of the Acropolis and the area of the Ilissos River.

During the Mycenaean period (1550-1050 BC) the flourishing economy led to the fortification of the city. At the end of the 12th Century BC the sovereign's palace was built on the hill of Acropolis, and in the middle of the 13th Century the city obtained it's first fortifications. During that period many movements were taking place within the Greek territory. In this manner the Ionic race coexisted peacefully with Attica's first inhabitants.

In Greece's history, religion and social ideas are often reproduced in mythology. Besides the Panhellenic myths of gods and heroes, each region has its own traditions and idolatry, as had Athens. According to mythology, two of the gods of Olympus fought for Athenian favour - namely Poseidon the god of the seas and Athena goddess of wisdom and knowledge. The people decided to give victory to the one who could offer the city the most valuable gift. According to tradition Poseidon hit the earth with his trident and from which a wild horse and impetuous running water came out. In contrast to Poseidon, Athena's gift was an olive-tree branch growing up from the Acropolis rock. Between the two opposite forces the peace-loving citizens chose Athena and honoured her by naming the city after her.

The southern suburbs of Athens constitute -especially during the summer period- a centre for entertainment with many bars clubs, tavernas and restaurants. The beaches are another gathering spot where beach parties are organised with music and dancing throughout the night. Only a few kilometres from the centre of Athens are the International Airport in the suburb of Hellinikon.

Following the coastal avenue towards Sounion we meet many organised beaches such as Varkiza, Voula, Kavouri, Lagonissi, as well as small picturesque sandy coves. The small promontory of Vouliagmeni is famous for Asteras beach and the lake in this area with its sulphurous waters with its healing qualities. Along the coastal areas we find not only, small picturesque coves but also organised beaches with access water sports in a variety that covers any and all demands.

The visitor to the Acropolis can today let his imagination complement the defects and the missing periods of time. During the past several decades serious efforts have been made to preserve and to re-erect some parts while other have been transferred to the Museum of the Acropolis -such as for example the Caryatidsand have been replaced by casts. The museum houses many findings from excavations made at the Acropolis and which are exhibited in chronological order in nine halls, thus giving us a picture of Athens' brightest period in history.

The Acropolis, symbol of Athenian Democracy dominates the centre of Attica at a height of 156 metres above sea level. Its rock, a natural fortification, allows the approach to the top only from its western side. At the highest point there is the most significant complex of monuments that ancient Greek civilisation has to offer.

Kos


This wonderful island belongs to the Aegean Sea complex of islands called Dodecanissa. It is the third biggest island of the complex and is considered to be a powerful and dynamic destination.

A crossroads of people and civilisations, Kos was inhabited in the early years of the Bronze Age (2900-2100 BC) and has earned a distinct place in the history. The island is also known as the island of Hippocrates, the father of medicine. Hippocrates, whose teaching laid the foundations of medical science, was born, lived and was active on Kos (460-357 BC). After his death, the Asclepieion was founded on the island, being visited by thousands of patients. This universal heritage monument acquired great fame in Greece as well as all over the world. Even nowadays all doctors take the Hippocratic Oath.

The city of Kos is built over a colossal archaeological site and further sites come to light every year from the Ancient Classical Era, the Byzantine and

Medieval age, the Turkish and Italian occupations. The Asclepieion, Hippocrates' perennial Plane Tree is still preserved in excellent condition. The ruins of the Ancient City, the Ancient Conservatory, the Roman House, the Ancient Bathe, the Stadium with the Xyster are some of the findings that one can easily visit just by taking a walk.

Due to its mild Mediterranean climate Kos guarantees almost 200 sunny days in a year. The temperature of the water, which remains high all year long, and permits one to enjoy the crystal clear waters of the sea during all seasons.
