The International Airport of Athens is the epicenter of this tourist boom, as it recorded an increase of 16.6 percent during the first quarter of the year, while Greece’s regional airports recorded an increase of 8.6 percent.
2019 is expected to be another record-breaking year for Greece in terms of international arrivals and the number of tourists who will visit the country, following 2018, a year that was the best in Greek tourism’s history.
