It’s about her Mykonos, Santorini and Paros which are ranked in the top ten, while from the rest of Greece distinctions were won by Crete, Corfu, Rhodes and Kos.

The communication company MTC GROUP publishes the results which, as it states in its announcement, rank Paros once again by ranking it among the most popular destinations while, at the level of the Cyclades, it remains firmly in third place as evidenced by the revenue and arrivals data that recently published by the consulting company from ELSTAT, the FSA and the Port Authorities.
Recently the South Aegean Tourism Initiative announced that September air arrivals in the main airports of the region they saw an increase of 14% on average. At the same time, the statistics of the State Airport of Paros recorded an increase for the same month by 40%!
In particular, drawing data from the Paros airport, we find that 19,738 people arrived on the island by plane during this year’s first autumn month with 368 domestic and international flights, while in the corresponding month of 2019, 14,192 visitors had arrived by air on the island.
And by measuring the corresponding performances of the previous months we find that, eespecially for Paros, in 2019 long ago ceased to be a year of comparison in terms of arrivals but also of revenues which is now tthe most important success indicator of a destination. Also noteworthy is the fact that both in 2019 and 2018, the island recorded a 30-year record in arrivals performance, which has its value compared to today’s figures.
It is recalled that and in the first month of summer, June, over 120,000 arrivals were recorded marking an increase compared to the same month in 2019 which also exceeded 40%, which means that June this year was the best in terms of arrivals to date in Paros. Suffice it to mention that in the nine months of January – September 2018, arrivals at the Airport reached 83,500, increased by 25% compared to the corresponding period of 2017 and by 163% compared to 2016, while at the level of annual development, in the six years since in 2014 to 2019 the island doubled visitor arrivals. Even now, in October, the tourist season holds up well since the number of cruise ship arrivals is undiminished in the cruise sector as well.
