Greek writing on Aquapolis site

Has anyone noticed the greek writing on the aquapolis site? Has anyone tried to translate it? I did but it didn't make any sense. I typed it out with a standard greek font and then put it through an online translator but nothing came out...

This is what it lookes like if you switch it to a normal font. I also ran it through a caesar decoder but nothing..zip..

I don't recall seeing the writing on that site before but I might be very mistaken..also I saw noone mention this, so that is why I thought I would...

This has been addressed - it's just some marketing garbage - "Welcome to the amazing aquapolis - something about being under construction...."

Run a search for greek writing and aquapolis in the thread listing

There's nothing there that anyone here's been able to pull out. It would be strange if the resort was in Greece and the website had no greek writing whatsoever on it.

GREEK TRANSLATED: Velouria75 provides the following on the Greek words on theaquapolis.com:
Upodoche ston istochoro AQUAPOLIS = Welcome to/in/on (something) AQUAPOLIS; "'isto' generally refers to history - welcome to the historical aquapolis? Or the history-making aquapolis?"

Hellenike ekdose erchatai suntoma = The Greek abbreviated(?) publication

Sas eucharistome = "you're delighted at/pleased?"

In summary, "welcome to the history-making Aquapolis", "something about the website being not quite finished or that the hotel is contained/compact" ('publication' apparently referring to the website, not the hotel), "hope you enjoy it".

On TLFC, illspirit translates it as "Welcome to AQUAPOLIS website! The Greek publication comes shortly! We thank you." So not terribly exciting after all.
