The briefing? Sunshine, delicious food, relaxation, a great party, and above all, lots of fun with the group. We looked at Nice and Athens, and the latter won. This is no coincidence, as Freya has had a soft spot for Athens since her four-month internship there. After their visit to <a href=\"https:\/\/act-wise.be\/en\/blogs\/a-festive-new-years-journey-to-skopelos\/\"><em>Mama Mia!

Everything went smoothly: no delays, but lots of enthusiasm. Arrival in Athens: group photo! Or maybe not&#8230; the boss wasn&#8217;t there yet. Oops! So: take two. Then we took the bus to the restaurant, where we were treated to a beautiful sunset while enjoying our first Greek delicacies. The evening ended in a relaxed atmosphere in the hotel bar.<\/p>\n<h4>Saturday: pistachios, tattoos, and dancing with a view of the Acropolis<\/h4>\n<p>On Saturday, we took to the water on the Grand Bounty, a spacious sailboat bound for Aegina. Playlist on, wind in your hair, sun on your face, drink in your hand \u2014 and above all: enjoying each other&#8217;s company.<\/p>\n<p>First stop: Aegina, the island of pistachios. We visited a local merchant, sampled their specialties, and were given a bag to take home. Then back on the boat to Moni Island, where we anchored to swim and enjoy a BBQ buffet with fresh salads.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tattoo time!<\/em><br \/>\nOn the boat, we organized a sticker tattoo contest. The assignment: stick the company logo on a colleague, in a visible and original place. Backs, heads, arms, legs \u2014 no part of the body was spared. Within the bounds of collegiality, of course \ud83d\ude04.<\/p>\n<p>After returning to the hotel, we had time to freshen up, and then we jumped on the bus to the center of Athens. At Skyfall, we enjoyed dinner with a view of the Acropolis. Even before dessert, our group was already dancing. Stop at 1:00 a.m.? The atmosphere was so good that we stayed an hour longer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-153848 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/whatsapp-image-2025-09-26-at-15.04.57.jpeg\" alt=\"BBQ lunch on a sailboat in Athens\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/whatsapp-image-2025-09-26-at-15.04.57.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/whatsapp-image-2025-09-26-at-15.04.57-1080x1440.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/whatsapp-image-2025-09-26-at-15.04.57-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/whatsapp-image-2025-09-26-at-15.04.57-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/act-wise.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/whatsapp-image-2025-09-26-at-15.04.57-350x467.jpeg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Sunday: senses on high alert &amp; awards with kitsch<\/h4>\n<p>On Sunday, we were up early (with sleepy eyes and big suitcases) and ready for a morning in the center of Athens. In smaller groups, we explored the city with all our senses:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Greek coffee &amp; Greek delight tasting<\/li>\n<li>Dancing the Syrtaki to the Zorba song<\/li>\n<li>Komboloi workshop in Plaka<\/li>\n<li>Ouzo &amp; meze tasting<\/li>\n<li>Homemade lemonade &amp; spoon sweet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We concluded with an impromptu award ceremony during lunch at the foot of the Acropolis. The awardees:<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfc6 Frank \u2013 tattoo on his bald head (which wouldn&#8217;t come off)<br \/>\n\ud83e\udd48 Hein \u2013 tattoo on his forehead<br \/>\n\ud83d\udc83 Maureen \u2013 got ALL the men on the dance floor at Skyfall<\/p>\n<p>The awards? Carefully selected (read: mostly kitsch) from the local souvenir shop: snow globes of the Acropolis.<\/p>\n<p>Then we said goodbye to Athens and to our colleagues who were staying a little longer.
