The city of Athens is looking forward to hosting its first official Olympic Games competition since 1896, and will use the Web to chronicle the events.

After months of preparation, the 2004 Olympic Summer Games are now just a few weeks away.

As one might expect, the site provides information on visiting Athens, accommodations, ticket information, and a special area designed for young people. Additionally, the site also provides extensive material on the Paralympic Games, which will also take place this summer.

Visitors will want to take a look at the key dates section, as it offers details on when and where each competitive event will take place, along with the ever-popular opening and closing ceremonies. The site has some nice extra features, such as volunteer applications for the Games, e-cards to send to friends and family, and information on the extensive transportation infrastructure improvements added to the urban fabric of Athens for this historic event.
