It is not only the major sports events that attract people’s interest. Residents and visitors in Athens can not only watch their favourite sport, but can themselves take part in it. Whether they want to go diving, fishing or water-skiing on one of Attica’s beaches, or to jog to stay fit, or to relax by playing tennis, they are sure to find excellent facilities and expert trainers. Over the last few years people have become aware that apart from being enjoyable, sport is good for the health. And Athens is well aware of this.
