Sympossio 2013 Travels To ITB Berlin

Visitors to ITB Berlin will get a “taste” of Greece as chefs of the “Sympossio Greek Gourmet Touring” initiative will be on call at the stand of the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) from 6 to 8 March.

ITB Berlin will be held 6-10 March at the Messe Berlin International Convention Center.

The “Sympossio Greek Gourmet Touring” is an initiative of Aldemar Hotels that aims to promote Greece’s products and gastronomic culture, along with a positive image of the country.

“The Sympossio is an idea that may have been created by Aldemar but only has value if it belongs to all,” Alexandros Angelopoulos, executive director of Aldemar Hotels and organizer of the Sympossio, said.
