The tourism industry is arguably the steam engine of the Greek economy. It would be no exaggeration if we said that it quite possibly managed to keep the country afloat during the long economic crisis that befell it from 2010 onwards.

No doubt there have been many studies and reports of the perception foreign visitors have on Greeks while spending their holidays in our country, and vice versa, how Greeks view the tourists.
