What to expect at this year's "3rd INTERNATIONAL
YACHTING SYMPOSIUM 2004", Poros Greece! During
the B2B event on the 9-13th of May in POROS, one can expect
a series of lavish fetes and happenings. The first being a
striking array of MEGA yachts lined up in
the POROS marina which has been extended to accommodate over
50, sleek motor and sailing yachts and 12
exhibition stands of Greek Yacht Brokers. This year's event
will be opened with a VIP reception hosted by the Mayor of
Poros on the grounds of the posh, nineteenth century Naval
Academy overlooking the harbor.
The Symposium's Forum will address the "Update
on the Status of Yachting in Greece" and "Greek
Islands as a Yachting Destination" to name a
few. Additionally, treats such as the Gourmet Chef
Competition will be sizzling with heated competition
and no doubt, fabulous culinary delights! The hot question
is, who will take the "Golden Spoon Award"
for 2004.

Tasting Forum entitled, "Understanding
Greek Wine". The wine forum will be with Wine

regions and styles. Experts will discuss and disseminate know-how
on how to properly taste, purchase, store and collect wine.

exclusive Greek vintages for the sophisticated and discriminating
palette.
