Westfield London, Europe’s largest urban shopping destination is hosting an immersive Greek experience.
Following the hugely successful event where a Greek beach drew thousands of visitors to the River Thames on a sunny week in June, the U.K. and Ireland Greek Tourism Office launches “Visit Greece@Westfield London.”
From the 19th until the 27th of March 2011, Westfield London in Shepherds Bush will feature a 1.500 sq. m Greek Theme Park on its ground floor atrium. All of the park’s activities will be complimentary to the public, in a lively, interactive celebration of Greece’s unique characteristics as a major tourist destination.
The Greek Theme Park will offer a range of fun and educational activities, making it a great family day out.
The Greek Theme Park exemplifies that Greece is a year-round tourist destination offering an unlimited variety of holiday experiences. Visitors will learn about Athens and Thessaloniki as thrilling city-break destinations, play golf in a game simulating state-of-the-art golf courses, challenge themselves to rock climbing, explore the Greek islands via a sailing simulator and treat themselves to a relaxing spa treatment in our Thalassotherapy and Spa Center.
For a short time only, the Greek Tourism Office in London brings you all of Greece. Combining a greatly diverse geographical landscape with a wealth of culture from past and present, Greece offers countless opportunities for educational, gastronomic, athletic and leisurely activities. We invite you to learn from acclaimed Greek chefs exploring modern takes on traditional Greek dishes and sample complimentary olive oil, wine and ouzo while lounging on the golden sand of our Greek beach.
The Greek Theme Park is open to everyone and welcomes children, who can play a game simulating an archaeological dig and learn about wildlife and sea life conservation efforts in Greece.
“Visit Greece@Westfield London” will reveal Greece’s unknown treasures that are there for each and every tourist to discover on their next visit to Greece.
Visitors will have the opportunity to:
· Learn about the wealth of Greek culture, through digital presentations and participation in educational games.
