η
αθήνα επανακτά τον δυναμισμό της ..
Το νέο 8 σέλιδο δημοσίευμα συμπληρώνει μια σειρά αφιερωμάτων
για την Αθήνα, σε συνέχεια στοχευμένων ενεργειών που υλοποίησε η Marketing
Greece.
Στο κείμενο αναφέρεται η νέα «εικόνα» της πόλης, τα
νέα της δεδομένα καθώς και εξέλιξη της τάσης για την καλύτερη οργάνωση, και σε
νέες βάσεις, της τουριστικής αγοράς και υπηρεσιών.

We know all
about the myriad achievements of ancient Greece, but now it’s the modern-day
triumphs that deserve time in the spotlight.
Young, positive
artists and creatives – who decided to fight rather than flee – have joined
forces, sticking to their passions and breathing new life into the city centre.
The side effects
of a less-than-healthy economy have been a fresh love for vintage fashion, the
proliferation of low-key but sophisticated wine bars, an uplifting camaraderie,
which pervades the city’s edgy new hangouts, and, now that cars are too
expensive for many to run, traffic-free streets and cleaner city air.
An intrepid
generation of Greek talent is getting the party started again – without
bragging about it.
A resident of
Athens during the pre-2004 Summer Olympics boom, I enjoyed a spell reviewing
restaurants and hotels across this boisterous city.
Everywhere was
being gilded or gutted, and the urban sprawl was reconfigured with a fancy new
infrastructure.
A colourful
nightlife scene spilled into new neighbourhoods such as gritty Psirri and
out-of-town gasworks site Gazi, and the air crackled with optimism and
ouzo-fuelled hedonism.
