Types of tourism we go to, what we do
Μedical
Medical tourism is one of the fastest-growing forms of tourism worldwide. Its development is attributed to the internationalization of the medical industry and the rapid growth of tourism, along with demographic and technological advancements. Greece, with its strong hospital groups, well-trained medical staff, and tradition in hospitality, has the potential to develop the medical tourism sector and attract patients from other countries. As part of this development, secondary research was conducted, involving organizations such as the EU Program Monitoring Department and the Tourism Statistics Department, to carry out studies and collect data that support the growth of the sector in Greece.

If you want to understand why Greece is called the cradle of Western civilization, this is the museum you must visit. The entire history of Greece (Neolithic, Cycladic, Mycenaean, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, Ottoman, and modern) is captured through statues, miniatures, tombstones, tools, weapons, and everyday objects. The largest museum in Athens also has a complete public library. In the southern wing (through a separate entrance), you’ll find the Epigraphic Museum, with over 14,000 inscriptions revealing the astonishing detail of record-keeping in ancient Greece.
The Athens Numismatic Museum, which houses over 500,000 coins, medals, gemstones, weights, stamps, and related objects from 1400 BC to the modern era, boasts one of the richest collections of its kind. It is also located in an iconic building in Athens (known as the Iliou Melathron), designed between 1878 and 1880 for the famous archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann (who excavated the archaeological sites of Troy and Mycenae) by Ernesto Tschiller (one of Athens’ most important architects). The restored mosaics and frescoes of the mansion are part of the experience.
The Ancient Agora Museum is located in the renovated Stoa of Attalos, a 2nd-century BC building that was donated to the Athenians by King Attalus II of Pergamon. It was the first commercial stoa of ancient Athens. The museum showcases items discovered during the excavations of the Ancient Agora, including everyday objects such as product identification tags, a clay water clock, and official bronze voting ballots, as well as busts from the Roman period.
