“GNTO’s main priority is to highlight Attica’s comparative advantages as a tourism and culture destination,” said Gerekou.

Following her meeting with Patoulis, GNTO President also met with Athens Mayor Kostas Bakoyannis to discuss the development of a promotional strategy that will encourage future visitors to explore the city and discover the “hidden gems” located  in lesser-known central areas of the Greek capital.

With the cooperation of all relevant agencies, this GNTO initiative is expected to help promote and strengthen the tourism and commercial businesses of Attica and contribute to the overall development of the region.
