OLD AND NEW

Greece provides all the modern facilities necessary to the comfort of its visitors, and is progressing rapidly toward becoming one of the most popular destinations in the world.  New airports are being built in every major city and on every major island, so that direct overseas flights can now land at any desired tourist destinations.  Air or rail directly connects the country with every major city in the world.  New highways link all the popular tourist interests, and reliable public transportation by air, land, or sea is always available.  In addition, a modem network of health facilities provides security to travelers everywhere in the country.
A long tradition in catering to the world's tourist crowds has produced an experienced and seasoned local population of professionals in the tourist industry that ensures quality service at all times.

Greece is a curious mixture of cultural traditions and architecture that go back thousands of years combined with modern conveniences and infrastructure.  Today's Greece will accommodate the Olympic Games in 2004, and is geared up to handle the millions of visitors every year who come to explore this beautiful island nation.
