Venue
Athens is not only the capital city of Greece but also its largest
and one of the world’s oldest cities. It is named in honor of the
Greek goddess Athena, daughter of Zeus. When it comes to
history, civilization, culture, architecture, mythology, democracy
and philosophy, there is no more ideal city for which to reference
than Athens. The city is a booming metropolis where the past
meets the present.
Greco-Roman and Neo-Classical buildings dating back to Ancient
Athens share city space with modern edifices, and no structure
is more iconic to Athens than the Parthenon. Athens has it all,
and besides offering a wealth of history, you can also find a
vibrant city with many cafes, restaurants (taverns) and beaches
nearby. Athens is hip and historic, chic and down to earth,
and it is a city with a wealth of attractions. Most points of interest
can be reached by foot or the public transportation system.
The Royal Olympic Hotel lies beneath the shadow of Acropolis
and just in front of the famous Temple of Zeus in the heart of Athens.
Most important sights such as the picturesque “Plaka” (the Old
Town), the Royal Gardens and the Ancient Stadium are within
walking distance from the Royal Olympic Hotel. The Hotel can be
easily reached by public transport also from the airport.
