WELCOME SPEECH OF THE DODECANESE TOURIST DEVELOPMENT REPRESENTATIVE MR. CHRYSOCHOIDIS
Dear readers,
I would like to welcome you to the islands of the South Aegean, the Cyclades and the Dodecanese, which include some of the most significant tourist destinations and renowned brand names, worldwide, such as Rhodes, Kos, Santorini and Mykonos.
The region of South Aegean, a leading power in Greek tourism, consists of 50 inhabited islands that accommodate, each year, 40% of the total inbound tourist flow, breaking all records of tourist traffic for the last five years.
Given that tourism is a locomotive to the economy of South Aegean, the Region of South Aegean works in a targeted and systematic way, aiming at promoting even further the specificities of our islands in the world tourism market, and at optimizing the services provided, with devotion to the absolute satisfaction during their holidays,
By the millions of visitors we welcome every year.
The famous Greek light, clear waters, marble and rock, castles, forts, monasteries and villages where time has stopped; windmills, islets flooded with butterflies and sea sponges; the gastronomic passage from the rich tradition to the resourceful evolution of the Mediterranean diet; countless beaches that allow you the luxury of endless choices. There is a variety of beaches ranging from calm and remote to cosmopolitan and full of action, just like the islands themselves. The seduction and breathtaking beauty of the South Aegean islands lasts throughout the year as the local climate is the best in Europe.
South Aegean is the perfect setting if you want to truly feel the Greek summer. We invite you to discover the reasons making the Cyclades and the Dodecanese the world’s top travel destinations for so many years now.
