Don't Miss This Greek Experience - 19 to 27 March 2011 - Visit Greece@Westfield London

The Greek National Tourism Organization and Aegean Αirlines Invite you to

“Visit Greece@Westfield London” - an immersive Greek experience.

Following the hugely successful event last year where a Greek beach drew thousands of visitors to the River Thames on a sunny week in June, the U.K. and Ireland Greek Tourism Office launches 

“Visit Greece@Westfield London.”

From the 19th until the 27th of March 2011, Westfield London in Shepherds Bush will feature a 1.500 sq. m Greek Theme Park on its ground floor atrium. 

All of the park’s activities will be complimentary to the public, in a lively, interactive celebration of Greece’s unique characteristics as a major tourist destination.

The Greek Theme Park will offer a range of fun and educational activities, making it a great family day out.

The Greek Theme Park exemplifies Greece as a year-round tourist destination offering an unlimited variety of holiday experiences. 

Visitors to the park will have the chance to

• learn about Athens and Thessaloniki as thrilling city-break destinations, 
• play golf in a game simulating state-of-the-art golf courses, 
• challenge themselves to rock climbing, 
• explore the Greek islands via a sailing simulator and 
• treat themselves to a relaxing spa treatment in our Thalassotherapy and Spa Center.

For a short time only, the Greek Tourism Office in London brings you all of Greece in one 'packet' at Westfield London, Europe’s largest urban shopping destination. 

Combining a greatly diverse geographical landscape with a wealth of culture from past and present, Greece offers countless opportunities for educational, gastronomic, athletic and leisurely activities. 

We invite you to learn from acclaimed Greek chefs exploring modern takes on traditional Greek dishes and sample complimentary olive oil, wine and ouzo while lounging on sun beds on a ‘Greek beach’ constructed with golden sand and surrounded by a wooden leisure deck.

The Greek Theme Park is open to everyone and welcomes children who can play a game simulating an archaeological dig and learn about wildlife and sea life conservation efforts in Greece.

“Visit Greece@Westfield London” will reveal Greece’s unknown treasures that are there for each and every tourist to discover on their next visit to Greece. 

Come and listen to enthusiastic presentations about Greek destinations, enjoy live music shows and win prizes to Greece! 

If holidays are about dreaming, bring as many dreams as you like with you!
 

ADMISSION IS FREE!

KALIMERA! For us Greeks, It's More Than a Word - It's a Way of Life!

Kalimera... means good morning. But thats not all...

It means a new day has begun. A day full of sun, sea, joy, happiness, a day full of hope. A day that follows a magical, musical night and leads to something even more promising.

A new beginning, a chance to meet new friends, experience new tastes, discover an ancient civilisation and live your dreams. As the Greek warm, morning light takes over, inspiration, inner peace and love, are only a grasp away.

«Good morning» is always said with a smile and heartfelt hospitality. 

For us Greeks, «Kalimera» is more than a word, its a way of life.

From the Greek National Tourism Organisation's summer campaign...

From us to everyone in our Global Greek World -

Kalimera !!!
