I Kathimeriní is one of Greece's leading daily newspapers, considered a newspaper of reference and one of the country's most prestigious titles. However, the newspaper is of most interest to travelers because of its shortened English-language version, which is distributed separately in the United States and in Greece as a supplement to the International Herald Tribune. Its English-language articles are also well referenced on its website. It summarizes the most important news headlines with articles on politics, social life and tourism.

The very nice official website of the Greek tourist office. Available only in English or Greek, it is full of information on destinations, hotels and different means of transport. We appreciate that it allows to buy online tickets for some archaeological sites and museums. It is also possible to download maps and specific guides (http://www.visitgreece.gr/en/downloads/guides). Those who are not familiar with foreign languages can download pretty pictures and wallpapers.

This is another of our favourite websites. Created by two Frenchwomen, Laure and Sophie, Vivre Athènes is aimed at French speakers living in Athens as well as at all those who come to visit the Greek capital: tourists, expatriates, students, etc. Although it focuses on the capital, it is full of practical information for travellers with good addresses, ideas for walks or excursions, as well as practical and essential information.
