Take a Short Break
                                 Why not make your trip to #EAC19 a short break away?

With so much to see in Athens, theres always the option
to make a short break of your visit to the 2019 EAC
Convention. With an average temperature of 17 degrees
in March, its pleasant enough to walk, talk and explore
your way around this ancient city.

We have a partner programme available, if you are
attending with another, which will take in some of the
many sites and sounds of the city, meaning they can be
your guide if you want to stay for a few days after.

Additional nights at the hotel can be booked directly with
them if you mention EAC before the 1st December, you
should get the preferential hotel rate. Alternatively, there
are so many hotels and accommodation choices to choose
from.

The Athens Tourist Board has a fantastic website
enabling you to plan your visit and time in the city and
can be found at: www.thisisathens.org

Or why not venture outside the city and explore Greece!
