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.
