ANA-MPA — Package holiday bookings from Germany and the United Kingdom in Greece rose sharply in early 2017.
Greece is now the second most-preferred destination for Germans after the Balearic Islands in Spain, while bookings to Turkey have dropped sharply.
Greece also ranked second after Spain for bookings from the United Kingdom, which increased 12 pct in January-March 2017. Most Britons are expected in Greece between May and September, while an increase in expected arrivals in October may indicate a trend toward a longer tourism season.
Most popular destinations within the country were again the Dodecanese islands, the Ionian islands and Crete.
