- The Region of Crete participated in the professional event – workshop “Choose Greece – Choose Crete” organized in Naples, within the framework of the tourism promotion program for the year 2025.
During the workshop, the representatives of the Region of Crete held a series of business meetings (B2B) with tour operators and tour operators, while the Deputy Regional Governor for Tourism Dr. Kyriakos Kotsoglou presented the tourism product of Crete and the comparative advantages of the island, with particular emphasis on cultural and gastronomic tourism.
Approximately 190,000 Italians visited Crete in 2024, and there is a prospect for further strengthening of tourist flows, with targeted promotion efforts, given that Naples is connected by direct flights to the airports of Heraklion and Chania.
From the Region of Crete, the Head of the Tourism Department of the Heraklion Regional Unit, Eleni Vougioukalaki, and the department executive, Marina Tsaparidis, also participated in the workshop.
The Deputy Regional Governor for Tourism stated in this regard: “The Neapolitans are well aware that their history as a city is older than the Roman one and that it has deep Greek roots. Thus, another Workshop, another tourist promotion of Crete, this time accompanied by the twinning of Naples with Rethymno, and gave even greater substance to the ties of Naples with Crete, everywhere!!”
