The bilateral agreements between Greece and Israel, and Cyprus and Israel that enable restriction-free admission are paving the way for a return to travel, said Greek Tourism Minister Harry Theoharis in an interview to Kathimerini Cyprus.
“The agreement we just signed with Israel serves as a model for our overall strategy. Greece is advancing in the field of tourism with extroversion, with formal, flexible, and beneficial for all sides collaborations in the wider area of the Mediterranean,” said Theoharis.
Referring to the importance of the Israeli market, Theoharis said Israel was among the top 10 source markets for the country. In 2019, more than 700,000 Israelis visited Greece. “And we were expecting this figure to increase had it not been the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic”, he added.
