The ties that unite Greece and Russia and the common elements between the two peoples were highlighted at the 2nd Greek-Russian Forum on “Interregional tourist cooperation between Greece and Russia”, which is taking place on Monday in the northern prefecture of Halkidiki.
Greek Tourism Minister Elena Kountoura, who delivered the opening address, underlined the reasons why Greece is an attractive destination for Russians. Even Russian astronauts, she said, elect Greece, with preferences in Evia and Crete, for their recovery and rehabilitation after space flight.
Kountoura referred to the Greek-Russian Year of Tourism, marking it as a great celebration for the strengthening of relations between the two peoples and for increasing each other’s tourist flows. At the same time, nevertheless, she said, there is a great opportunity for it to act as a pillar of interregional partnership with the support of the private sector.
