Αlpha Astika Akinita, a subsidiary of Alpha Bank, the Οfficial Βank and Sponsor of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, is helping to meet the high demand for accommodation during next year?s Olympic Games through its participation in a Private Home Rental Programme. As the largest shareholder in Filoxenia 2004, the company responsible for the implementation of the programme as certified by Athens 2004, Alpha Astika Akinita brings the credibility, experience and infrastructure necessary to facilitate this project, while smaller holders, many of which are travel agencies, are helping to promote the programme abroad.

The project is already well under way. Around 20,000 homeowners have expressed interest in renting out their homes, and already 1,500 homes have been inspected. Properties which have met the necessary specifications and which have received certification are being promoted abroad to prospective visitors to the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
