    The Greek National Tourism Organization (EOT or GNTO) is located at 7 Tsochas St., Ambelokipi (tel. 210/870-0000; www.gnto.gr), well out of central Athens. The office is officially open Monday through Friday 8am to 3pm and is closed on weekends. At press time it was unclear whether the GNTO office at 26 Amalias, in central Athens, would remain open.

    Information about Athens, free city maps, transportation schedules, hotel lists, and other booklets on many regions of Greece are available at the office in Greek, English, French, and German -- although when we stop by, many publications we ask for are described as "all gone" -- even when we can see them on display just out of reach. The staff members often appear bored with their jobs and irritated by questions; be persistent.

    Available 24 hours a day, the tourist police (tel. 210/171) speak English, as well as other languages, and will help you with problems or emergencies.
