About us

There are more surprises than meets the eye in the busy center of Athens. Built on the banks of the ancient Ilissos river, once mentioned in Plato's writings and still flowing secretly beneath the property's main road, the Crowne Plaza Athens City Center is an ultra-modern tribute to Athens' rich past and the city's millennia of fascinating history. The award-winning hotel lies strategically in the central Athens suburb of Ilissia, named after its hidden historic river, only a 20-minute leisurely walk from the happening heart of the capital, Syntagma Square. Yet to call the Crowne Plaza simply a city hotel falls short of its true description. The property is a hub for discovering the vibrancy of Athens in a new light. It is as much a high-tech business hotel as it is a destination for leisure, shopping and nightlife. This is one of the newest hotels in the city, boasting sophisticated facilities and surprising gourmet flair that conspire to guarantee spectacular Greek hospitality with first-class western standards.

On Purpose Adventures
On Purpose Adventures
Charleston, multi-city
Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.
