Uber showed an increase in the use of its platform in Greece in 2021 despite the pandemic.

In terms of routes, total travel through the Uber application in Greece in 2021 more than doubled compared to 2020.
During the summer months of the year, the number of passengers who choose the company for their transportation from the airport increased fivefold.
The Acropolis is a top world destination
The Acropolis was the No. 1 most sought after tourist destination in our country, while at the same time it occupied the 15th place in the list of the top tourist destinations chosen by Uber passengers worldwide.
