Keeping the Golden Games Alive

WhichBudget Press Release, September 2004

KEEPING THE GOLDEN GAMES ALIVE

FOLLOW in the footsteps of your Olympic heroes and track down a flight to Greece on the new Hellenic version of the WhichBudget website (www.whichbudget.com/el).

Europe's leading budget travel website intends to keep the Olympic flame burning for as long as possible by offering Greek-speaking travellers the chance to find out who flies where in their own language.

But other Europeans can also take advantage of the boost the Games brought to Greece, as there are many cheap flights and deals now on offer to the country.

Martino Matijevic, WhichBudget's Managing Director, said: "Following the publicity around the Olympics, we were very keen to expand into the Greek market. Therefore we are delighted that WhichBudget has been translated into Greek so that travellers and the travel community can find flights quickly and easily."

Peggy Pattakos, WhichBudget's Hellenic Manager, translated the site into Greek and with more than 1,400,000 Internet users in Greece her work is sure to be appreciated.

"Athens and the Greek islands are benefiting greatly from an improved image after the smooth running of the Olympics," said Martino Matijevic. "The country is sure to ride on the 'feel-good factor' post-Olympics in the same way that Barcelona and Sydney did after they staged the games."

"And as flights and accommodation prices naturally rose in the run-up to the Olympics, we are now likely to see prices falling to a more realistic levels."

A new low cost route has been recently launched from Glasgow to Greece by Air Scotland and budget airlines easyJet and Excel fly to Athens from the UK.

There are also many other low cost European airlines that fly to Greece including German Wings, JetX and Maersk Air.
