In addition, Lesvos was promoted to British independent travel agents through Not Just Travel’s executive and travel consultant Keeley Brown, who visited the island in July.

Brown’s trip aimed at promoting Lesvos as a unique holiday and alternative tourism destination to Not Just Travel’s network of 700 UK independent travel agencies and their clients.

According to GNTO sources, the travel consultant’s visit is expected to further strengthen Greece’s reach to the UK market.
