Greek National Tourism Organization presents 2026 plans in Nicosia

During an event in Nicosia on April 28, the Greek National Tourism Organization (EOT) presented its strategy for the 2026 tourist season. Director Athena Spakouri reported that approximately 600,000 Cypriots visited Greece in 2025, and Greece remains the primary travel destination for Cypriot tourists. The strategy aims to promote destinations beyond the most popular ones, emphasizing traditional and cultural locations. Spakouri highlighted that Cyprus and Greece are complementary rather than competitive destinations and proposed joint programs to attract tourists from markets such as China and the United States. Greek Ambassador to Cyprus, Konstantinos Kollias, noted that frequent air links and the Limassol-Piraeus ferry service facilitate travel between the two nations. Despite concerns regarding regional instability, specifically the conflict in Iran, officials remain optimistic about the current year's tourism prospects.
