Temporarily, the Greek cruise market and in particular some Greek islands have benefited from the tragic events in Israel according to estimates from industry players. The Greek islands will benefit, estimates the President of the Union of Cruise Ship Owners and Shipping Agencies (EEKFN) Giorgos Koumbenas, while the honorary president of the Union, Theodoros Kontes, expresses the same assessment.

The news broadcast by the BBC about Greece's possible involvement in the war by sending a Greek warship to the border between Israel and Lebanon is not confirmed by sources of the Greek Navy.
