Amazing Athens is a new tourist guide, especially designed for smart phones and tablets that will soon be available for people who visit the Greek capital and want smart and comprehensive guidance on their phones.

The SmartPhone App “Amazing Athens” is the most recent “technological tool” at the disposal of the tourism ministry within the framework of an international tourism promotion campaign focusing on the City of Athens.The initiative was presented by Tourism minister Olga Kefalogianni, during a special event, at the Acropolis Museum, on November 28.

Olga Kefalogianni noted that the English-speaking SmartPhone App, a tourist guide created for mobile phones and tablets, will be available in February and constitutes an attempt to overturn the dominant view that “Athens is nothing more than a stopover for tourists heading for the Greek islands”.

The new application is the result of collaboration between the Ministry of Tourism and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Centre for Hellenic Studies at Simon Frazer University of Vancouver, which designed the application and offered technical support.
