										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Ψηφιακή πλατφόρμα μας ταξιδεύει στην Ελλάδα από την οθόνη του υπολογιστή μας!</strong></p>



<p>Tο υπουργείο Τουρισμού, ο ΕΟΤ και η Marketing Hellas κατάφεραν, με την υποστήριξη της Google, να δημιουργήσουν την on line πλατφόρμα <strong>«Greece from Home»</strong>. Η συγκεκριμένη πλατφόρμα αποτελεί μια σημαντική ώθηση για τον ελληνικό τουρισμό, κατά τη διάρκεια της πανδημίας του κορονοϊού, καθώς δίνεται η ευκαιρία σε ανθρώπους από όλον τον κόσμο να γνωρίσουν τη μαγευτική ομορφιά και τον πολιτισμικό πλούτο της χώρας μας και, μάλιστα, από την ασφάλεια του σπιτιού τους.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Δείτε την πλατφόρμα «Greece from Home» <a href="https://www.greecefromhome.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">εδώ</a></strong></h3>



<p>Ο Steve Vranakis,Chief Creative Officer της ελληνικής κυβέρνησης και οι δημιουργικές του ομάδες Ithaca Lab και Prinz &amp; Co συνεργάστηκαν με τη Marketing Greece, τη Google, το υπουργείο Τουρισμού και τον ΕΟΤ για την υλοποίηση της πλατφόρμας «Greece From Home».</p>



<p>Η πρωτοβουλία αυτή είναι ιδιαιτέρως σημαντική, καθώς ο ΕΟΤ, μέσα από την άμεση on line προώθηση της πλατφόρμας, προσελκύει τουριστικά τις κύριες δεξαμενές επισκεπτών της χώρας. Όπως επισημαίνει και ο γενικός γραμματέας του ΕΟΤ, Δημήτρης Φραγκάκης: «Ο ελληνικός τουρισμός δηλώνει έμπρακτα παρών μέσα σε μία πρωτοφανή κρίση. Όσο οι επισκέπτες μας μένουν σπίτι, εμείς ως brand και ως προορισμός βρισκόμαστε κοντά τους, από το σπίτι μας, από την Ελλάδα, μέσω του Greece From Home”.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Η πρωτοβουλία #greecefromhome βασίζεται σε τρεις εξίσου σημαντικούς πυλώνες</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Βλέπω</h3>



<p>Η αξιοποίηση της τεχνολογικής εξέλιξης επιτρέπει στον κόσμο να έρχεται σε επαφή με τον πολιτισμό της χώρας, από το σπίτι του και με μια απλή σύνδεση στο κανάλι του ΕΟΤ «Visit Greece» στο YouTube. Γαστρονομία, μόδα, αθλητισμός, ελληνική μουσική, χορός, βίντεο με περιηγήσεις σε προορισμούς και άλλες ιδιαίτερες εμπειρίες δημιουργήθηκαν από Έλληνες δημιουργούς, με σκοπό να κρατήσουν αμείωτο το ενδιαφέρον του κόσμου για τη χώρα μας.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ταξιδεύω</h3>



<p>Μπορεί κάποιος να επισκεφτεί την Ελλάδα από τον καναπέ του σπιτιού του; Η ψηφιακή πύλη www.discovergreece.com το καθιστά δυνατό, προσφέροντας μια εκπληκτική ψηφιακή εμπειρία από μουσεία, γαστρονομία, αρχαιολογικά αξιοθέατα, εικόνες της φύσης, γαστρονομία, γραφικά χωρία και ελληνικές παραδόσεις.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Μαθαίνω</h3>



<p>Η εκπαίδευση αποτελεί ένα πολύ σημαντικό πυλώνα της νέας on line πλατφόρμας. To «Greece From Home» ενώνει τις δυνάμεις του με το πρόγραμμα «Grow Greek Tourism Online» της Google και φέρνει την εκμάθηση στο σπίτι. Από τις 2 Απριλίου διατίθενται στο κοινό δωρεάν εκπαιδεύσεις, που αφορούν διαδραστικά διαδικτυακά ομαδικά σεμινάρια.</p>



<p>Επιθυμείτε να εκπαιδευτείτε σε αποτελεσματικές τεχνικές εξ αποστάσεως εργασίας ή να καταρτίσετε μια αποτελεσματική στρατηγική ψηφιακού μάρκετινγκ για την επιχείρησή σας; Τώρα έχετε την ευκαιρία και, μάλιστα, με την κατάλληλη καθοδήγηση. Μεταξύ άλλων, υπάρχει η δυνατότητα για διαδικτυακή συνάντηση απευθείας με έναν από τους συνεργάτες της Google, σε περίπτωση που επιθυμείτε μια πιο προσωπική καθοδήγηση.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Πιστοποιητικό παρακολούθησης για τους συμμετέχοντες</h2>



<p>Οι συμμετέχοντες στο σεμινάριο&nbsp; θα απολαύσουν μια συναρπαστική εμπειρία, θα αποκομίσουν πολλές χρήσιμες γνώσεις και θα λάβουν πιστοποιητικό παρακολούθησης από την ΙΑΒ Ευρώπης, την Google και το Υπουργείο Τουρισμού.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Come race in the birthplace of the Olympic Games and make your mark in one of history's most famed countries.</p>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<header>Come race in the birthplace&nbsp;of the Olympic Games and make your mark in one of history&#8217;s most famed countries.</p>
</header>
<p>Greece conjures up images of sandy beaches under blue skies, fresh and nourishing cuisine, and whitewashed houses. It is also the country where the Olympic spirit was born, making it a fitting host for a triathlon.</p>
<p>IRONMAN 70.3 Greece, Costa Navarino will take place in April, with the pleasant temperatures of spring bringing the ideal climate for racing. This unique race will take place in the Peloponnese—in the area around Costa Navarino and the Messenia regions. This area boasts one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Mediterranean, combined with a remarkable cultural heritage spanning 4,500 years. Visitors can explore monuments and archeological sites from every period of the Peloponnesian history, surrounded by a landscape of mountains, forests, and rivers.</p>
<p>Athletes will embark on a 1.9-km swim in the Ionian Sea in front of the pristine beach of Navarino Dunes. They will ride through ancient olive groves and pine-covered hills, while never losing site of the deep blue of the Ionian Sea. Leaving Soulinari they will head to Gargaliani village and back to Costa Navarino. The bike course is a challenging, two-lap course over excellent paved roads. Finally, the half marathon will start from The Westin Resort Costa Navarino towards Omega (Voidokilia) beach—a sweeping semicircle beach of light golden sand. The beach is right next to Gialova lagoon, a protected Natura 2000 site. The course continues to the lagoon over the village&#8217;s cobblestone roads before heading back to the finish line at The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort at Costa Navarino.</p>
