The American market is evolving into one of the main pillars of Greek tourism outside Europe, with air connections steadily on the rise. In recent years, Greece has succeeded in building a particularly dense network of direct flights with the United States, which not only responds to ever-growing demand but also strengthens the country’s strategic positioning on the global tourism map.

Today, Athens is directly connected to nine major U.S. airports, allowing travelers from different states to reach Greece without stopovers. This network, which expands year by year, has proven decisive in attracting American tourists, who are known both for their high spending and for longer stays compared to European visitors.

Rapid Growth in Seats and Flights

Official data from INSETE highlight the scale of growth: for 2025, 726,087 airline seats from the U.S. to Greece are scheduled, an increase of 21.4% compared to 2024. For the summer season, the rise is even greater, reaching 22.7%. Equally impressive is the increase in the number of weekly direct flights, now totaling 103, compared to just 67 in 2023.

These figures clearly show that the American market has not only overcome the pandemic crisis but is emerging as a driving force for the further development of Greek tourism. In contrast with traditional European markets, which show only modest growth (Germany +2.5%, United Kingdom +2.8%), the United States records much higher growth rates, making it the most promising market for Greece.

The Role of Major Airlines

Rising demand has led leading U.S. airlines to systematically invest in the Greek market. Delta Airlines, for example, has increased to 13 its weekly flights from Atlanta, strengthening one of its most important hubs. United Airlines, based in Newark, New York, has further expanded its route to Athens, responding to increasing demand.

Meanwhile, Norse Atlantic has entered the market by launching the first direct route from Athens to Los Angeles, while also increasing capacity on the JFK line. Similarly, American Airlines continues to expand its network: beyond its existing routes to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Charlotte, it has already announced that from May 2026 it will add Dallas/Fort Worth, its largest hub in the U.S., offering access to more than 225 destinations.

The strategic significance of these moves is twofold: they provide greater flexibility for American travelers while also enhancing Athens’ international connectivity, turning it into a key entry hub for the wider Southeast Europe region.

Tourism Revenues and Outlook

The market’s dynamism is also reflected in financial figures. According to the Bank of Greece, during January–June 2025, travel receipts from the U.S. rose by 15.9%, reaching €457 million. In the same period, travel flows increased by 18.1%, with arrivals reaching 463,400.

The importance of these numbers becomes clearer when compared to other markets: the United States has now become Greece’s strongest non-European market, surpassing even traditional tourist sources. At the same time, Americans’ high average spending, often exceeding the European average, makes this market strategically significant for Greek tourism.

Another key element is the trend for travel beyond the classic summer season. Many Americans visit Greece in spring and autumn, supporting efforts to extend the tourism season. This factor is especially important for the Greek economy, as it helps reduce seasonality and ensures a more stable flow of revenue.

A Strategic Choice

The steadily rising demand from the United States is no coincidence. Greece is promoted internationally as a destination that combines culture, history, gastronomy, and unique natural landscapes, while improved infrastructure and enhanced air connectivity act as multipliers of this dynamic.

For Greece, the American market is a strategic choice: it is a market characterized by high average spending, longer stays, and visitors who often return for multiple trips. The ongoing expansion of direct flights ensures that this positive trend will endure, creating new opportunities both for tourism and for Greece’s overall image in the United States.

Mykonos is undoubtedly one of the most famous Greek islands. Known for its lively parties and beautiful beaches, the island also has an incredibly fascinating ancient history.

Somewhat surprisingly, the party paradise was also an international hub in ancient times because of its close location to the island of Delos, which was the birthplace of the god Apollo and home to many temples and religious sites.

It was basically considered the spiritual center of the ancient Mediterranean, as it even had temples to Egyptian gods, so pilgrims from all across the region visited the island, particularly when large feasts and festivals to Apollo were held there throughout the year.

Delos is still considered one of the most important mythological, historical, and archaeological sites in all of Greece to this day. The entire island is uninhabited and is considered a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The island, referred to as “the sacred island of Delos,” is where, as Greek mythology tells it, Leto gave birth to Zeus’ twins, Artemis and Apollo.

Nearby island of Delos was the birthplace of Apollo

The story goes that because of Hera’s jealousy of Zeus and Leto, she ordered all lands to shun Leto, making it difficult for her to find a place to give birth.

However, Zeus asked Poseidon to find a secret, safe place for Leto to give birth. She ended up on the island of Delos, and, since the island is not connected to the land, she was able to safely give birth to her twins, Artemis and Apollo.

From that moment onward, the small, rocky island was declared “the most sacred of all islands” by Callimachus in the third century BC in all of Ancient Greece and was devoted to Apollo. It was said to be “bathed in the unique light” of Zeus’ son.

Of course, visitors to Delos would stop in Mykonos, as well, as the island was only a mile away from the religious hub.

According to ancient historian Herodotus, the island was first inhabited by the Carians, a group of ancient people from Anatolia. Yet, by the eleventh century BC, Mykonos was mainly populated by Ionians from Athens.

The stunning island was named after its first ruler in Greek mythology, Mykonos. He was said to be the son of the god Apollo, who was born nearby on Delos.

Mykonos also plays a role in one of the most famous stories in Greek mythology, as it was said to be the site of the Gigantomachy. The story recounts the battle between the Olympian gods, led by Zeus, against the giants.

The Twelve Olympians killed countless giants in the battle, and myth has it that the large boulders found across Mykonos are actually the bodies of slain giants.

After the Hellenistic era, Mykonos fell under the control of a series of empires and states. First, the Romans took power on the island, but then it became part of the Byzantine Empire.

This was until the Fourth Crusade in 1204, when Venetian lord Andrea Ghisi claimed the island. Just decades later, the Catalans claimed the island. They were then cast out by the Venetians yet again in 1390.

The island, along with nearby Tinos, remained under Venetian control for centuries until the Ottomans took power on the islands—Mykonos in 1537 and Tinos much later in 1718.

During the Ottoman period, the island became a maritime center and accumulated wealth through trade. Immigrants from across the Ottoman empire made their way to the island with the hopes of making their fortune.

This wealth and excess also attracted the attention of pirates in the Mediterranean, who frequently targeted the island’s residents and nearby sailors in raids.

Mykonos has been a tourist destination since the 1800s

Along with much of Greece, the island was freed from the Ottomans in the early 19th century after the Greek War of Independence. Wartime hero Manto Mavrogenous was from Mykonos, and she is honored there and across Greece for her contributions to the war effort.

Although Mykonos is currently a top vacation spot, tourism actually started on the island many years ago. Waves of eager travelers visited the island in the late nineteenth century after excavations by the French uncovered ancient treasures on the nearby island Delos.

From then on, tourism became one of the most dominant industries on the island.

This archaeology-based tourism began to shift in the mid 20th century, when hip jet setters began to “island hop” across the Greek islands and rediscovered Mykonos.

In the 1960s and 70s, tourists from across Europe and the US flocked to the island to frolic on the nude beaches and admire the distinctive blue-and-white Cycladic architecture the island is famous for.

The island is now known as an LGBT-friendly, luxury tourist destination full of fine dining, designer boutiques, and popular clubs.

Despite recent geopolitical shifts and a mixed start to the season, Mykonos, a titan of global tourism, is asserting its enduring appeal.

Insights from Mayor Christos Veronis, Professionals and Entrepreneurs’ Union President Iraklis Zisimopoulos, and hotelier Maria Kousathana reveal an island leveraging its deep history in tourism, adapting its services, and increasingly welcoming back a crucial demographic: Greek visitors.

Mykonos Mayor: “Stabilization after May dip, cruise sector a stronghold”

Mykonos Mayor Christos Veronis acknowledges that global and national events inevitably impact the island, though less severely due to its established reputation and high-quality services. While May saw a downturn, the situation has now stabilized, leading to an optimistic outlook for the rest of the season.

“It is a fact that in May it did not go very well, while now the situation seems to have stabilized,” Veronis said in speaking to Greek Reporter. He projects a positive close to the season, citing strong interest from cruise ship passengers and villa residents.

“July and August will go very well,” he affirmed. The Mayor emphasized that Mykonos’ distinct advantage lies in its robust cruise ship tourism, with projections of one to one and a half million cruise passengers this year.

These visitors, who typically arrive in the morning and depart at night, contribute significantly to the local economy through dining and shopping. Veronis also pointed to the island’s consistent public services—cleanliness, reliable water supply, and overall infrastructure—as key factors in maintaining visitor satisfaction, even amidst broader regional shortages.

He stressed the importance of competitive pricing, noting that while Mykonos is an “expensive island because it provides high-quality services,” adaptability is crucial.

Regarding the slight dip in May, Veronis clarified, “It’s difficult to ascertain whether the slight decline observed in May stemmed from a reduction in high-end visitors or those in the middle-income bracket.” He underscored that high-end visitors continue to frequent the island’s luxury accommodations without issues.

He also referred to the matter of profiteering that has been highlighted in several media reports. “The issue of profiteering stands as a notable exception. These instances, amplified by Mykonos’ high profile, inevitably garner excessive publicity and undeniably harm the island’s esteemed reputation. As a municipality, we have zero tolerance for such practices. Within the scope of our regulatory authority, we are making every effort to mitigate these phenomena,” he told Greek Reporter.

“We’re actively working to enrich and diversify Mykonos’ tourism appeal. We’re not just relying on our well-known strengths—our stunning natural landscapes, beautiful sea, and legendary entertainment. We’re also showcasing new, less-explored facets like our vibrant culture, incredible gastronomy, and diverse water sports,” the Mayor explained.

“Our aim is to forge a new tourism identity for Mykonos, ensuring it captivates both international and local audiences. This means presenting Mykonos as a quality, safe, inviting, accessible, and distinctive destination,” he added. “This rebranding is a core mission for our municipality, complementing the private sector’s already exceptional performance in hospitality, dining, and entertainment.”

“Mykonos is now a golden opportunity for Greeks”

Iraklis Zisimopoulos, the president of the Professionals and Entrepreneurs’ Union of Mykonos, echoed the Mayor’s sentiments on external challenges, including geopolitical events and recent earthquakes on Santorini that had a ripple effect. However, Zisimopoulos highlighted Mykonos’ unique and “timeless” status as a high-end tourist destination, distinguishing it from other Greek locations.

“Mykonos has a distinct tourist product, which is at a very high level,” Zisimopoulos stated, expressing confidence in a successful season for most businesses despite difficulties. He emphasized the professional responsibility of local entrepreneurs in ensuring visitors have an excellent experience, regardless of volume.

Crucially, Zisimopoulos clarified the perception of Mykonos’ cost: “Mykonos is not an expensive necessity, it is an expensive choice.” He highlighted the wide range of options available for visitors, catering to various budgets for accommodation, dining, and leisure activities. “If you want to spend a fortune, there is a possibility, but if you want to spend it economically, there is also a possibility,” he explained to Greek Reporter.

Zisimopoulos also noted a significant increase in Greek visitors this year, partly due to some previously inhabited houses now becoming available, and partly due to relatively adjusted prices.

He refuted the often-negative portrayal of Mykonos in Greek media, asserting that those familiar with the island know it offers excellent value for money across its diverse offerings. “Mykonos has existed for many years, and it is the destination of visitors from all over the world,” he concluded, emphasizing the island’s long-term resilience.

Hoteliers optimistic: “Mykonos’ tourism know-how ensures a strong season”

Maria Kousathana, a local hotelier, reinforced the notion of Mykonos as a “global tourist destination with high-quality tourism services.” She highlighted the island’s “tourism know-how for over 50 years,” underscoring its long-standing expertise in the industry.

Kousathana acknowledged that the current tourism movement presents unique challenges, linking them to “all that happened in the winter on the other islands of our region” and the broader tourist season. Despite these factors, she expressed strong optimism: “We are very happy…And we believe that it will go very well.”

Echoing Zisimopoulos, Kousathana confirmed the growing trend of Greek visitors. “We have already seen it,” she stated, indicating that Mykonos is once again attracting a significant number of domestic tourists, a positive shift from previous years. Mykonos’ tourism sector, while acknowledging the headwinds of geopolitical instability and a slightly slower start to the season, remains confident in its ability to do well in terms of tourism this year.

Such confidence is rooted in the island’s established reputation for high-quality services, its burgeoning cruise ship sector, robust public infrastructure, and a conscious effort by local professionals to offer diverse pricing options. The increasing return of Greek visitors further strengthens the island’s resilient tourism model.

Vangelis Daktylides, Co-Owner & Managing Director of the Myconian Collection Hotels, says Mykonos is a place you can’t fully describe without feeling it. Even if you tried to hide its beauty, you couldn’t. It’s in the crystal-clear waters, the whitewashed villages where time seems to stand still, the traditions that keep the island’s soul alive, and the warmth of its people.

“For our family, running 15 five-star hotels here has always been about more than hospitality. Every year, we invest in quality, in new experiences, and in sharing what makes Mykonos truly unique. Our vision is simple: a destination where sophistication meets soul, and luxury lives side by side with simplicity,” he told Greek Reporter.

Beyond the parties and the glamour, there’s another Mykonos worth discovering. You can visit a traditional farm, light a candle in a tiny chapel, enjoy a home-cooked meal in a family-run taverna, or take a boat trip to sacred Delos, one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. These are the moments that stay with you, he added.

“Our guests return year after year because they know we care about the details. We raise the bar every season, always aiming to give a little more, and always with genuine respect for the people who choose to spend their time with us. Mykonos remains one of the most magical places on earth—not because of trends or headlines, but because of its heart. And with each passing year, that heart only grows stronger,” Daktylides stressed.

Although there are many factors that we take into account when planning our holidays, it is clear that one of them prevails: money. However, finding cheap places to travel doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the value of your trip. In fact, you can and should visit destinations like Madagascar, where you can experience the full Indian Ocean retreat experience without the Maldives prices, or Albania, where you can experience your European mountain dreams for half the price according to Conde Nast Traveler.

The magazine’s editors have compiled the countries you can visit in 2025 where your money will go furthest, based on current exchange rates, airfares and hotel deals.

Belize

The easy two-to-one conversion between the Belize dollar (BZD) and the US dollar means you don’t have to pull out your mobile calculator when you’re budgeting for your holiday in the Central American country. With world-renowned archaeological sites, rainforests and a gastronomy that’s worth the trip alone, it’s easy to see why this Caribbean country so fascinated Francis Ford Coppola that he established three beachfront retreats on its remote shores.

Cambodia

From 1 January 2025, the fees for tourist visas have been reduced from $36 to $30. First-time visitors can make no mistake if they land in Siem Reap, where the famed UNESCO World Heritage site, Angkor Wat, sits amid festive bars, vibrant cultural experiences and French-style colonial streets. Travel to the city is easier than ever thanks to the recently opened Siem Reap Angkor International Airport (SAI).

Mexico

Mexico is consistently one of the favourite destinations for travellers on a budget. In Mexico City, with a street food culture rivaled only by cutting-edge dining, you’ll spend most of your money on food. But be sure to leave a few dollars to visit all the cultural wonders the city has to offer, starting with the iconic Museo Jumex. If you want to go a little further afield, head to Jalisco to see how tequila is produced at its source, or to Isla Holbox for a quiet beach.

Mongolia

The country is expanding initiatives launched in 2024 to make it easier for travellers, including more direct flights from the US and visa-free travel for dozens of nationalities. You can also expect even more unusual cultural experiences next year: local travel agent Breanna Wilson is expanding her travel plans for 2025, including a trip to the Gobi Desert to see snow leopards, a women-only retreat in the Orkhon Valley and a three-day archery seminar.

Vietnam

Many countries in Southeast Asia offer excellent opportunities for those travelling with dollars, but we recommend a trip to Vietnam, partly because of the steadily rising exchange rate, but mostly because of the country’s stunning beauty. Hanoi is arguably the most romantic city in the region, but don’t be afraid to stray off the beaten path on your next visit: Places like Ninh Van Bay and Phú Quốc Island have pristine beaches and intimate resorts that you won’t find in the more touristy areas.

Brazil

Like much of South America, Brazil is a good place to visit if you don’t want to spend a lot of money. But the fact that a dollar gets you almost five Brazilian reals means you can enjoy even better value for money than usual. Rio de Janeiro is the most obvious place to spend your time and money, with incredible restaurants like Lasai, a Hot List 2023 winner, just steps away from some of the world’s best beaches. But don’t forget to visit São Paulo, where the younger generation has brought trendy galleries, museums and bars to many neglected neighborhoods.

South Africa

The value of the South African rand has fluctuated a lot in recent years, but we are quite happy with the current price. (For comparison, 10 years ago, one US dollar was equivalent to ZAR 8.57.) Get your money’s worth at Test Kitchen’s 21-course tasting menu in Cape Town and then explore the wildlife at Singita Castleton Lodge in the Sabi Sand Wildlife Sanctuary.

Madagascar

For your next tropical holiday, skip the expensive, popular places like the Maldives and Bora Bora and opt for cheap Madagascar, an Indian Ocean treasure trove filled with stunning rainforests and national parks teeming with lemurs. Plan your stay at Namoroka Tsingy Exploration Camp, which features seven luxury safari tents within the virtually unexplored Namoroka National Park. Alternatively, visit the island nation as part of a cruise: luxury cruise lines such as Silversea, Lindblad, Swan Hellenic and Seabourne have added the country as a port of call on their new itineraries.

Egypt

Following in the footsteps of the Pharaohs in Egypt seems like it should be expensive, but the Egyptian pound has skyrocketed this year, meaning that touring the Pyramids, cruising the Nile and exploring Cairo has never been more affordable.

Malaysia

Your money will go a long way in Malaysia, especially if you eat on the road and explore cities like Kuala Lumpur on foot. It’s also cheap (or in some cases free) to visit the country’s pristine beaches, limestone caves and some of the most beautiful tea plantations. But if you’re ready and willing to spend a lot of money, we highly recommend staying at The Datai Langkawi – it’s definitely expensive, but well worth it.

India

India has always been a cheap travel destination, but now that you can get 86 rupees for every dollar, the country is more affordable than ever. Hotels range from $60-a-night bungalows to the expensive Oberoi and Six Senses, and hundreds of options in between. But if you don’t stay cooped up in your hotel all the time, you can visit many attractions and dine at local restaurants on an extremely limited budget.

Serbia

Belgrade continues to emerge as one of Europe’s most exciting cultural centres, but it’s a lot cheaper than, say, Paris or Berlin (at least for now). It’s relatively easy to find hotels for under $100, although accommodation isn’t that important when you spend all night dancing in the city’s clubs. However, you’ll want to take time off to explore Belgrade’s rich museums and contemporary art installations, many of which have only opened in the last few years.

North Macedonia

Perhaps because all attention is focused on the coastal countries, North Macedonia remains one of the most undervalued (and therefore affordable) countries in Europe. The country has all the cobbled streets and picturesque churches you’d expect from a European city, with the added bonus of being located right on the shores of the incredibly beautiful and biodiverse Lake Ohrid.

Nepal

Nepal is one of the cheapest countries for all travellers, but the US dollar is particularly strong there at the moment. Most people immediately associate Nepal with Mount Everest, but this small country has a lot more to offer than climbing. Kathmandu is overwhelming at first glance, but it hides some wonderful hotels and museums once you start exploring it. Bhaktapur and Patan, located near the Kathmandu Valley, are a little quieter, but full of culture.

Gambia

This highly accessible country has long been a coveted destination for wildlife lovers, but is starting to climb the rankings as both a gastronomic destination and a cruise port.

Indonesia

Despite the influx of tourists following the success of the book “Eat, Pray, Love”, Indonesia remains an affordable holiday destination. While millions flock to Bali (where resort prices are correspondingly high), you can enjoy a much cheaper and quieter trip to the islands of Suba and Lombok. And don’t forget Jakarta, where a full day includes greasy noodles and nasi goreng gila from makeshift street shops, all for a few dollars.

Albania

Albania is much cheaper than other European countries and is not particularly popular as a tourist destination, which means there is still a chance to visit before it becomes famous and overrun with tourists. In Tirana, book at Agroturizëm Gjepali, a restaurant-turned-hotel with river views and double rooms from $70. If you’re planning a summer trip, take a look at our picks for Albania’s best beaches.

Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is still on the rise in terms of overseas travel, making it one of the most exciting and affordable destinations in Central Asia. The major cities are filled with ornate mosques and monuments of Brutalist architecture, which you can explore for free, and you’ll be hard-pressed to spend more than $5 per meal in restaurants. There aren’t many well-known chain hotels yet, but even hotels like the Hyatt Regency Tashkent have nightly rates under $170.

Tourism is an important economic booster for many countries, creating jobs, infrastructure and global connections. To mark the occasion, the website Visual Capitalist presents the top 10 countries as tourism industries, including everything from hotel stays and flights to attractions and services.

The data for this illustration comes from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). They show the total economic contribution of each country’s tourism sector in 2024, measured in US dollars.

The United States retains the title of the world’s most dominant tourism economy, with an economic contribution of $2.36 trillion in 2024. The US benefits from strong domestic tourism, developed infrastructure and iconic global destinations such as New York (the eighth most visited city in the world), Las Vegas and vast national parks.

At the same time, China’s tourism sector contributed $1.3 trillion, underlining its role as an important hub for both international and domestic travel. Although currently in second place, WTTC predicts that China will take the top spot within the next decade. Rising middle-class incomes and an emphasis on tourism development continue to drive its growth. This includes various policies such as easing visa restrictions and introducing new tax refund policies for purchases.

Finally, Europe remains an important factor, with Germany, the UK, France, Italy, France and Spain all ranking in the top 10. All of these countries benefit from their rich cultural past, as well as strong rail and air links.

Despite global uncertainty and economic pressures, Americans remain committed to leisure travel, but are adjusting their choices and habits. That’s the key finding of the new “Summer Edition” of MMGY’s Portrait of American Travelers® survey, which has been examining the trends and behaviors of American travelers for decades.

The survey, based on a sample of 4,500 American travelers, shows that while there is a decrease in the number of trips and spending compared to the beginning of the year, the overall picture remains positive: travelers are adapting, but not abandoning travel.

“Travel remains a top priority for consumers, but the way they travel is changing significantly,” said Simon Moriarty, Vice President of Research at MMGY Travel Intelligence. “We’re seeing a more agile and conscious traveler who is using tools like artificial intelligence, opting for road trips, and seeking experiences that offer personalization, flexibility, and meaning.”

Moriarty stressed that tourism marketers should be prepared for continued fluctuations in traveler intent and spending throughout 2025, but the fact that Americans are adapting and remaining experience-oriented is encouraging. For example, 76% of respondents agreed that travel memories are more valuable than any material good they purchased in the past year, highlighting the emotional and financial value of leisure travel in modern culture.

Key Trends for Summer 2025:

Road Trips Are Booming:

64% of American travelers have taken a road trip in the past year, a record high in the past decade. Millennials and Gen Xers with children are leading the trend, drawn to the flexibility, affordability, and nostalgia of the open road. The Pacific Coast Highway emerged as the most popular route.

Artificial Intelligence in Travelers’ Lives:

42% of travelers now use AI tools like ChatGPT to plan their trip – a 14% increase in one year. Gen Zers and Millennials are leading the way in using AI, although human recommendations remain twice as reliable. AI is seen as a support tool, not a replacement for the human factor.

The Rise of Cannabis Tourism:

Nearly 4 in 10 Americans (39%) are interested in a cannabis-related vacation, with the younger generation (Gen Z and Millennials) showing the greatest interest. Notably, 25% of these are not regular cannabis users, which highlights curiosity and the search for alternative experiences. Visits to stores, product testing, or tours of cannabis farms are the highlights of this new form of tourism, which currently concerns a limited number of US states.

The new perception of luxury:

The demand for luxury travel is expanding, with 34% of travelers now identifying themselves as luxury consumers. However, spending is changing direction: demand for luxury hotels and restaurants has decreased significantly since 2024, while premium airfare remains a non-negotiable for these travelers. Luxury is now more about experience and less about display.

Experiences in Focus

This year’s MMGY study confirms that Americans are seeking travel experiences that offer meaning, connection, and personal value, even in times of uncertainty. The role of travel consultants, tailor-made services, and technology is expected to increase as travelers demand personalized recommendations, convenience, and flexibility.

Recently, Stephen Joseph Scalise, a prominent American politician currently serving as the Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, visited the enchanting island of Mykonos. During his stay, he had the pleasure of meeting Father Georgios Stalimeros, a doctoral candidate at the University of Athens. Father Georgios offered him his blessing, extending his warmest wishes for Mr. Scalise’s journey in politics and beyond.

Their meeting served as a bridge between two worlds: the American political sphere and the Greek spiritual tradition. Mr. Scalise expressed a genuine interest in Greece’s profound heritage and in Father Georgios’ academic work, recognizing the importance of such moments of cultural and spiritual connection.

This visit was not only an opportunity for relaxation on the island, but also a unique experience that deepened mutual appreciation and respect between the two nations.

Mykonos Promo Team

The South Aegean has emerged as the most saturated tourist destination in Europe in a study presented by the German Federal Statistical Office Destatis.

The study, which is based on Eurostat data from 2023, shows that in this region, which includes flagships of Greek tourism such as Santorini, Mykonos, and Rhodes, an average of 117 tourist nights is recorded per inhabitant.

It is noted that the number of nights per inhabitant is a widespread indicator of the tourist density of a region.

The Ionian Islands follow immediately after in the ranking, where the number of tourist nights amounts to 98 per inhabitant. In addition, Crete emerges as the 6th most “saturated” tourist destination in the country, with the number of tourist overnight stays reaching 55 per inhabitant.

In third place is the Italian region of Bolzano-South Tyrol (68), in fourth the Croatian Adriatic coast (67), and in fifth the Balearic Islands (57).

In absolute numbers, however, the Canary Islands emerge as the most sought-after destination in the EU. The Spanish islands are ranked 10th in terms of tourist density for 2023, with 43 overnight stays per inhabitant. Since 2023, 95.6 million have been recorded in the destination. visitor nights on average, around 262,000 people spent the night each day on one of the Canary Islands in 2023. This is followed by the Croatian Adriatic coast with 87.3 million nights, Catalonia with 85.6 million nights, Île-de-France and the greater Paris region with 85.2 million nights, and Andalusia with 73.9 million nights. Upper Bavaria, including Munich, Germany’s most popular tourist region, ranks 14th in the EU with 41.6 million nights.

The lowest concentration of tourism in 2023 is recorded in the Polish regions of Mazovia – excluding Warsaw – and Opole, as well as in Southern Romania Mutenia – excluding Bucharest – and southeastern Romania. In these regions, only 1 overnight stay per inhabitant was recorded.

Regarding the contribution of the hospitality sector to the national economies of European countries, the research showed that in Greece, the sector represented the largest share of Gross Added Value in 2023 in the EU (7.1%). It is followed by Spain (6.7%), Croatia (6.4%), Portugal (6.1%), Italy (4.2%), Austria (3.9%), and the Netherlands (2%).

The prices of holiday packages are… rising this year in almost all popular destinations in the Mediterranean basin for British tourists, with Greece following this trend and being more expensive than Spain, Turkey, and Portugal.

Specifically, the research showed that the average cost, per person, for a week-long all-inclusive family holiday in August 2025 to Greece – the second-largest destination in the ranking for British travellers based on searches – is up by more than £100 compared to last year, or 12.1%, from £926 last year to £1,038 this year.

The number one destination in searches by Britons, Spain, offers family holiday packages more expensive by 79 pounds (from 835 pounds in August 2024 to 914 pounds this year), while in Turkey, the third largest destination in searches, prices have increased by 129 pounds (from 874 to 1,003 this year). In addition, prices for Portugal have also increased (from 936 to 972 pounds).

The largest price increases, per person, are shown by the UAE (+26%, from 1,210 to 1,525 pounds this year), Egypt (from 981 to 1,176 pounds), and Cyprus (+23%, from 950 to 1,166 pounds).

Exceptions to the price increase are Italy (-11%) and Tunisia (-4%), with Italy offering cheaper packages by 137 pounds (from 1,266 to 1,129 pounds) and Tunisia by 31 pounds (from 794 to 763 pounds).

From July 14 to August 30, shoppers in Greece can take advantage of major discounts—but knowing your rights and reading the fine print is key to making the most of the season

The summer sales season in Greece is set to officially begin on Monday, July 14, and will run through August 30, offering consumers an extended opportunity to make purchases at significantly reduced prices.

This annual period is considered one of the most advantageous times for shoppers to find deals, and the Hellenic Consumers’ Workers Union has issued a comprehensive guide to help consumers navigate the summer discounts responsibly and within legal safeguards.

Price Reductions: What the Law Requires

According to Greek legislation (Law 5111/2024), any announcement of a price reduction must clearly indicate the previous price applied by the retailer for a specified period before the new, discounted price takes effect. Specifically:

• The previous price is defined as the lowest price applied during the 30 days prior to the start of the discount.
• If the product has been on the market for less than 30 days, the previous price refers to the lowest price since it became available.
• If a product’s price has been gradually reduced within a 60-day window, the previous price is the one before the first discount.

For example, if the original price of a product was €150 on June 10, and it was then offered at €120, then dropped further to €115 on July 11, the actual discount is calculated as €5 (i.e., €120 – €115).

Retailers are also permitted to display percentage discounts, but any representation of pricing must be accurate and truthful.

Transparency in Discount Displays

If more than 60% of a store’s products are on sale, the discount percentage must be visibly stated in the shop window and any commercial communication. If different categories have varying discounts, the range of the percentages (e.g., “from 20% to 50%”) must be clearly displayed. Otherwise, the signage should clarify that discounts apply only to selected items, indicating the applicable percentage.

Oversight and Compliance

The responsibility for enforcing pricing transparency and monitoring compliance during the sales period lies with:

• The Head of the Interagency Market Control Unit (DIMEA), under the Ministry of Development, for checks conducted by DIMEA inspection teams.
• The Consumer Protection Directorate, also under the Ministry of Development, for inspections they perform independently.

These authorities are empowered to impose penalties for violations related to misleading price reduction announcements or illegal commercial practices.

Consumer Tips for Smart Shopping

The Hellenic Consumers’ Workers Union also issued practical advice to help shoppers make the most of the summer sales while avoiding common pitfalls:

• Prioritize needs and make purchases based on a clear budget.
• Research the market before settling on a specific product.
• Avoid being swayed by unusually large discount percentages.
• Assess product quality and authenticity, and weigh it against the cost.
• Check return and warranty policies in case of defective items.
