Beyond Athens is a company with a unique story that began on a sunny day in November 2014. Founder Andreas was sitting on a dock in a small village on the coast of Athens, chatting with his friend Hercules. They were discussing the economic turmoil that was gripping Greece at the time, and thinking about entrepreneurial ideas that could contribute to the country’s development.
While they were talking, a windsurfer passed by and Andreas was suddenly struck with an idea. Why not share all the beauty of Greece, its culture and its people with the world? Beaches, great food, outdoor activities and warm weather, all just a stone’s throw from the Greek capital. Andreas felt the excitement as his friend grinned.
Beyond Athens was born.
