More direct transatlantic flights to Greece than ever before
With many millions of Americans being fully vaccinated, the interest in traveling to Greece is increasing all the time.
As a result, major tour operators and airlines have added a record-high number of new direct flights to the country to meet the burgeoning demand.
“This summer we have more direct flights from the US than we’ve ever had, which shows that Americans want to travel to Greece,” the Greek Prime Minister noted on Tuesday.
Airlines including American, Delta and United have announced direct flights to Greece from a number of major US cities, making the two nations more connected than ever before.
According to the British bank HSBC, the anticipated increase in tourism this year is poised to add 2% to Greece’s gross domestic product (GDP), according to a new report released on Thursday.
