It is with great pride that we are seeing more people than ever choosing to travel to Athens.  The Welcome Program aims to ensure the city’s visitors enjoy the best of Athens. Our goal is to welcome more and more every year,” said Athens Mayor Giorgos Kaminis of the initiative.

“Synergies are clearly the key to promoting and showcasing Athens as a tourist destination. It is vital that we unite our forces… tourism developments in Athens are positive and we continue our efforts with the common goal of attracting even more visitors and improving their experience of our city,” said
Athens International Airport CEO Yiannis Paraschis.
