Welcome to the dollar… Big boost to tourist flow from the USA were given by the increased regular flights of the American airlines to Athens and Thessaloniki, as emphasized in an announcement by the American Association of Travel Consultants (ASTA) for the region of Greece.
At the moment when Greece is in the preferences of American tourists, comes the award of the Greek chapter of ASTA for the second year as the best developing internationally.
The agreement reached with American Airlines for 63 direct flights per week from the USA to “El.
