The particularly large number of visitors had the opportunity to be informed about the Greek destinations at the EOT infostand and at the stands of travel organizers.
The Ambassador of Greece Mr. Pantzopoulos, inaugurating the event, stressed the close warm ties of friendship between the two peoples, inviting the official guests and the public to visit Greece and savor the famous Greek hospitality and to enjoy unique experiences.
The impressive outdoor photo exhibition presents well-known and unknown to the general public corners of Greece and is a ten-day barker for Greek holidays.
