tourism in the islands

For tourist traffic On the Windy Island, the vice president of the owners of moped and motorcycle rental companies in Mykonos, Christos Rizos, spoke at the “MEGA Weekend”, highlighting the positive signs that tourism is sending.

“This is the first big release, mainly for the Greeks, because we are moving earlier with people from other countries. We started a little slowly in April and May, but June was very good and we will also find last year’s numbers. This also concerns the traffic and the services we offer on the island. We also have cruise traffic, which is up this year,” he said first.

Regarding the high prices on the island, Mr. Rizos said: “High prices exist, but we tend to split hairs and when we talk about Mykonos, it becomes the objective that it is overrated. It is true that there are shops that operate with profits, but there are controls. There are also low prices, but you have to look to find them.”

Tourism in Thassos

Deputy Mayor for Tourism and President of the Association of Rooms for Rent in Thassos, Yannis Markianos, spoke to MEGA about tourist traffic in beautiful Thassos.

“There’s starting to be a lot of traffic. From the 3 days of the Holy Spirit we can say that it looks like August and not the end of June. One of the advantages of our island is that you can find accommodation ranging from cheap to very expensive, and choose accordingly,” he initially emphasized.

And he added: “The Greeks are a minority in Thassos. Visitors come mainly from the Balkans. We Greeks are used to making our reservations late and there is no availability in accommodation.”
