Russian embassy celebrates Greek tourism despite tensions with Athens
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Despite the fact that the diplomatic row between Athens and Moscow went up a notch after the retaliatory expulsion of Greek diplomats by Moscow, the Russian Embassy in Greece “celebrated” the fact that Russian tourists chose Greece as one of their top destinations.
Russian tourists are fourth in terms of arrivals to Greece for 2017 after the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, and third in overnight stays after Germany and the United Kingdom.
It is worth noting that arrivals rose by 13.3% compared to last year, surpassing 5.7 million overnight stays.
