Greece’s ‘Creative Renaissance’ in National Geographic Traveller

Art, innovation and fresh ideas are the focus of National Geographic Traveller’s latest feature story on Greece titled “Greece – A Modern Classic” set to be released in its April edition.

The booming art scenes of Athens and Thessaloniki feature in the story which speaks of a “creative renaissance” in the making… “despite the financial woes”.

“Greece is enjoying a cultural bloom”, the story’s writer John Malathronas says, adding that from Athens to the islands, Greeks are pursuing “strange dreams” bringing out a “distinctly modern side to this ancient nation”.

Malathronas enjoyed this new side of Greece thanks to a fam top organized by the Thessaloniki Hotels Association (THA) late last year. The northern port city is recommended as an alternative travel destination offering unique culinary, cultural and art experiences.
