What time does the Museum of Cycladic Art open? Which restaurant is still serving at this time? What time is the next bus to Syntagma? At Athens International Airport, the new ATEDCo info-point will tell you everything you need to know about the city of Athens.

ATEDCo has introduced a tourist info-point in the Arrivals area of Athens International Airport to better inform and welcome incoming visitors to Athens. Through this hospitable and efficient kiosk, visitors may get information from specially trained staff and receive brochures providing extensive details on all that Athens as a tourism destination has to offer. These brochures include recommendations for sightseeing, dining, nightlife, day trips and shopping; included in the brochures are a map and a "What's Hot" insert listing all current events. A plasma TV screen at this Info-Point shows various video spots around Athens. There is also a special informational touch-screen connecting users to the Athens web site www.breathtakingathens.com, which also provides a variety of tourist information. The Info Point at Athens International Airport is the first of a broader information network serving visitors which will gradually be extended to all points of entry to the city, as well as to other locations of interest to tourists, with the aim of providing the best possible service for visitors to Athens.

The info kiosk features the latest technology, with a 19" TFTLCD high definition touch screen, and is equipped with state of- the-art computing systems as well as an anti-vandal keyboard with trackball. This new generation of interactive digital stations and interactive digital signs are the newest sources of digital information and modern message-transmission centres. The interactive digital stations (info kiosks) are specially built and serve as integrated communication and promotional systems. The info kiosks are distinguished by the high quality of their construction, their exceptional design and their immense flexibility in adapting to any use in either an indoor or outdoor environment.

The info-pointmay help visitors obtain information about the city more readily during their stay in Athens, discover what Athens has to offer, navigate the city more easily through the integration of city maps, and increase cultural awareness. The goal of the info kiosk is to capture the attention of tourists and dispense information concerning the activities within Athens. In this way, it is hoped that tourists will choose to stay in the city longer.

The use of kiosks can be very advantageous as they have the ability to enhance the amount of information being dispensed without increasing man hours. With the kiosk technology, users can obtain information 24 hours per day.

Tourists now arrive in the city of Athens and before they leave the Athens International Airport, they already know where to go and what to see.
