The Hellenic Association of Travel and Tourist Agency (HATTA) is including the Olympic installations among the most important sights of Athens. “Following many months of efforts and contacts as well as a meeting with the Deputy Sports Minister Ioannis Andrianos and HATTA President Lyssandros Tsilidis, we have decided to restructure all that is necessary for HATTA to incorporate the OAKA stadium as part of its tours,” said OAKA President Petros Galaktopoulos. “OAKA is an important modern sports village that has been linked to special moments of contemporary sports and cultural history with its peak moments during the Athens 2004 Olympics, hence it can’t be missing from the Athens visitors’ sightseeing itinerary.”

Tour operators from Egypt, China and other regions of Europe will have the opportunity to visit Greece and promote sights such as the OAKA stadium abroad.
