Athens-based inbound travel agency Yalos Tours had the chance to promote Greek destinations for 2024 during the three-day FestiVITAS trade show held at the Parc Expo in Mulhouse, France, earlier this month.

Specializing in the French-speaking market, Yalos Tours represented Greece with its own stand welcoming visitors and tour operators from Alsace, Strasbourg and Colmar.

At the same time, according to feedback gathered at the event, flights out of EuroAirport to six destinations in Greece and one in Cyprus have been finalized for 2024 making it one of the top French airports connecting with Greece. These are:

– to Athens four flights per week
– to Corfu two flights a week
– to Heraklion, Crete 10 flights per week
– to Kos four flights per week
– to Rhodes five flights per week
– to Thessaloniki three flights a week
– to Larnaca in Cyprus two flights per week.
