| |
Greece is a wonder in and of itself. From ancient times, this has remained a destination for travelers the world over. Today, you can visit Greece, enjoy the history and great food and get in some time at the gaming table as well. You'll find the integrated resort the most common for Greek casinos. These casino hotel resorts offer so much more than just gambling, but the gambling is there for enthusiasts and gamblers who know what they want in world class gaming.
For example, the Corfu Holiday Palace, which was at one time a Hilton Hotel, offers luxury and a casino as well. In fact, the casino was used as a set for a James Bond film scene. You'll find the Casino Rio as part of the Porto Rio Hotel in Patras, again an integrated resort.
The city of Loutraki, northwest of Athens, offers beachfront fun and gentle waters. Not only do the tourists love this city, but the Greeks vacation there as well. There is a thermal spa that has waters that are purported to have healing properties. The quaint city will provide you hours of fun investigating every thing from Greek history to Greek food and drink.
In Loutraki, you can visit the Grand Hotel for some gaming fun. This facility has been renovated to include the most modern conveniences. They even have bathtubs which is a rarity in the hotels of Greece. As a three-star hotel, you'll find everything you need in this historic building and lots of fun gambling as well.
Xanthi in the Thrace area at the northeast side of Greece is another city that provides gambling fun. Xanthi has some of the best preserved historic sights available, so don't miss them while casino gambling in this unique destination.
For gaming pleasure, visit Casino Xanthi, opened in 1995. It is said to be the only 100% Greek casino in Greece. It has a look that is somewhat neo-modern, although it is advertised as "cosmopolitan". You'll find lots of slot machines as well as gaming tables and great dining. This is one of the few casinos that is not yet an integrated resort, but a luxury hotel is coming to provide a full-service gambling experience for you.
Thessaloniki, in Macedonia which is part of northern Greece, is a place of history back to Biblical times. It is also the location of the Regency Casino Thessaloniki. Counted among Europe's finest and most luxurious, the Regency Casino is located only a short drive from the local airport.
Finely-maintained gardens, taking up over 75,000 square meters of space, houses the casino among the luscious plants. The casino is only 24/7 and includes a broad spectrum of gaming. Slots, American Roulette, blackjack, poker, punto banco and more will keep you busy at the gaming tables for hours on end. This resort includes a luxury hotel, three restaurants, bars, lounges, a theatre and the Regency proves to be a one-stop vacation in itself.
If you have only gambled in the U.S., you may be shocked when you are asked for money to enter some of the casinos in Greece. Small entrance fees are quite common in this country. So be prepared for a five or ten euro charge to enter some casinos. Now there’s a concept, you pay to enter and win the casinos money or you pay to enter and lose yours. Hmm, that’s interesting. |
