Seven airplanes transported a total of 1,500 pensioners from Vienna, Innsbruck and Graz in Austria, to the Greek island of Rhodes.

The specific program was completed due to the efforts of Rhodes Tourism Directorate, Tourism services on the island, and Austrian carriers. The aim was to extend the high-season of the island.

The local tourism operators on the island have scheduled several  visits to the medieval historic center, as well as the modern one in order to boost the local economy.
