The Mascot

The spot’s children-characters were developed to help young viewers identify and yearn for a travel experience in Greece. Parents are discretely present in the spot following the wonderful journey of their children across Greece. The vivid colours of the monuments as well as the spot’s fast pace gives it rhythm and clarity.
The Script
The script aims at showcasing the wonderful experience young travelers can enjoy in Greece along with their family. The story begins with our little heroes in their homeland with their guide, ΧέLLO, appearing in their home kitchen. Their Greek journey is then set in motion on a boat in the open sea; so characteristic of Greece! They visit emblematic historical monuments, such as the Acropolis and the ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, they taste delicious fresh food, experience outdoor activities and enjoy city strolls. The spot could only end on the wonderful and safe beaches of Greece, where the children along with their new friend have fun and enjoy their carefree holidays.
