Travel Office:
The Bank of Greece and Athens has undertaken other enterprises, supplementing its development of the fleet of de luxe touring busses. For one thing, it has opened a travel office, called ETEA, in the bank's Syntagma Branch, on Venizelos Avenue, nearly opposite the Grande Bretagne. Additional ETEA offices are being opened at Piraeus and ThessaloniE ETEA works closely with the National Travel Organization to promote travel in Greece.The New York offices (and certain others that are maintained in! Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, etc.) encourage and supplement the regular work that is done by travel agencies but they do not invade the agencies' field. So it is good practice to look to your own agent for every service he can normally give and to consult the national tourist offices for special and more detailed counsel and for literature. Here is the list of the Manhattan offices, with their addresses and city zones. A single coordinated address for all of these offices has been set up y the European Travel Commission and if you memorize, or keep handy, lat one address you are set to write to any of the twenty-one. Here it is: National Tourist Office of (name of country) Box 258, Dep't D. New York 17, N.Y. I should add that the Scandinavian countries, including Finland, also ave a coordinated mail address, for travel enquiries. It is: Scandinavian Travel Commission Box 80, New York 10, N.Y.
Vienna has some seventy museums, so you may trudge to taste. I even saw, and enjoyed, a postage stamp museum, opposite the Austrian Travel Bureau on Friedrichstrasse, but this may have been of a temporary nature. In the Archives Office, I have done the most interesting browsing I have ever enjoyed, except, possibly, in London's Record Office, If you want to see the original Golden Bull, the original manuscript of the agmatic Sanction and a collection of Napoleon's letters to Marie Louise d hers, about Napoleon, to "Lieber Papa," this is your chance.
