Greece Conference

article continued from

Lufthansa Airlines will offer you special fares (on its flights, as well as codeshared United flights) from many U.S. gateways for the trip to Athens. As you arrive in Athens on Oct. 16, you will be greeted by Homeric Tours staffers and transferred to Mykonos for a stay at the San Marcos Hotel.

You will enjoy two more days of leisure on this Greek island paradise (with an optional excursion to Delos) before boarding your three-night cruise through the Aegean Sea in outside staterooms aboard the “MV Opera,” the newest ship in the Louis Cruises fleet! (This newly refurbished vessel once sailed as NCL’s “Leeward.”) Calls include Rhodes, Kusadasi, and Patmos.

After this cruise, you will experience Athens for five days, starting with a deluxe motorcoach tour of the city. Your base will be the five-star Divani Caravel Hotel (pictured), a Leading Hotels of the World property in the heart of Athens. (This hotel served as the host property for OSSN’s first international conference in 1997!)

The Greek National Tourist Office (GNTO) will organize a travel seminar at the hotel to teach you how to package Greece for all types of clients. You can spend the rest of this day sightseeing on your own or taking an optional trip to Cape Sounion.

On Oct. 24, you’ll travel to Mycenae, Argos, Nauplia, Epidaurus, and Corinth. The next day brings a full day of leisure in Athens, followed by a gala farewell themed dinner hosted by GNTO! Flights home start the following morning.

You’ll find complete details on OSSN member and companion rates, as well as airfare information, at the 2007 OSSN Fall International Conference page on OSSN’s Web site!

Don’t delay – this 10th anniversary OSSN International Conference will fill quickly!

(OSSN offers special thanks to the Greek National Tourist Office, Lufthansa Airlines, the Divani Caravel Hotel, Homeric Tours, and our other sponsors for making this conference possible.)
