In collaboration with ATCOM and COSMOTE, visitgreece.gr was redesigned in 2021 to improve users’ navigation and access to information about Greece. The new thematic categories added to the GNTO’s tourism portal include:

• “Plan Your Trip,” where users can find all the necessary information for their trip to Greece on a single page, from selecting destinations and attractions to booking tickets and reservations.
• The culinary map, which enables users to explore Greece’s map online based on the gastronomy available at each destination.
• The administrative division map option, which connects the Visit Greece page to Greece’s 13 administrative regions and their official sites.
• The Movies by Destination category, allowing users to discover all the movies filmed in the specific region of Greece they intend to visit.
