The world is beginning to share our excitement about Athens. The Greek capital was crowned the World's Leading Cultural City Destination 2022 – our first global distinction at the World Travel Awards (WTA).

In fact, Athens scored many wins during the 2022 award season. This is Athens-Convention & Visitors Bureau was recognized as Europe's Leading City Tourist Board, a culmination of the city’s upward course in the global meetings industry.

International awards follow from investment and action, like the recent launch of “Athens: The City is the Museum” in partnership between the Greek Ministry of Tourism, the City of Athens, and Google Greece. The campaign highlights the city’s cultural

identity and shows visitors how to experience Athens as a sustainable, year-round destination.

Athens has a cultural heritage that is also a unique global heritage. Our job is to ensure it will be here for future generations. That’s why the City of Athens has a destination marketing strategy that prioritizes cultural management, accessibility and sustainability.
