Greece hopes tourism will rebound amid lingering crisis, 5 July 2012 Thursday 9:17
I was a teeny bit doubtful about going to Greece in May - June. I wasn't expecting any problem in my island destinations - and there were no problems, just lots of friendly hugs and kisses! If anything, I was made even more welcome than usual.
My lingering doubts were about Athens. As it happened, as there were fewer tourists, I was able to get a seat on internal flights that would normally have been fully booked. But I need not have worried, there was no trouble I recall hearing about in Athens whilst I was in Greece.
Reading about hotels closing in Athens because of the downturn in tourism, I'm hoping that my favourite hotels and tavernas will still be in business when I am next in Greece later this year.
