Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis called 2024 a record year for tourism. Based on the data the Greek government has received from the Bank of Greece, revenues have increased and Greece is now in a position to successfully extend the tourist season, he said, adding that Athens has become a year-round tourist destination.

Speaking at the 3rd Greece Talks conference on Tourism in Greece, entitled Identity, Future & the Traveler, organized by the Travel.gr website, and Proto Thema Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in discussion with Monocle Magazine Editor-in-Chief Andrew Tuck said that people should get familiar with new destinations in Greece, such as islands that have not yet become known to the general public and visiting travelers.

He also stressed that what pleases him is that people who visit Greece feel that they enjoy a unique experience, that they feel that they have value as well as the money they spend.

He went on to say that the goal is that anyone who visits Greece should return to discover other places and of course this benefits the Greek economy because it brings in revenues that last year exceeded 20 billion and I expect that number to increase this year, he added.
