In 2023, Greece welcomed a record number of tourists

According to the report of the Bank of Greece, Greece was visited by 32.7 million tourists in 2023. This marked a record number of tourists, surpassing the 31.35 million tourists who visited Greece in 2019 before restrictions were imposed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The bank stated in its announcement, "Compared to 27.835 million travelers in 2022, tourism in 2023 increased by 6% to reach 32.735 million travelers." These data do not include sailing data other than those recorded by border patrols.

Tourist traffic from EU countries reached 19.64 million people in 2023, representing a 6% increase compared to 2022. Tourism from non-EU countries saw an increase as well, with tourism from the United Kingdom rising by 2.4% to 4.591 million travelers, and tourism from the United States increasing by 29.2% to 1.406 million travelers. However, tourist flow from Russia decreased by 1.0% to 35,700 people.

Tourism revenue in 2023 increased by 15.7% compared to 2022, reaching €20.459 billion. Residents of EU countries accounted for €11.158 billion of tourism revenue. Among non-EU countries, revenue from the United Kingdom increased by 5.8% to €3.307 billion, while revenue from the United States remained stable at €1.367 billion. The bank noted that revenue from Russia decreased by 20.8% to €32.8 million.

Due to European sanctions against Russia, Greece suspended flights with Russia, leading Russian tourists to enter the country through third countries such as Turkey, Serbia, Egypt, and the UAE.

The escalating pressure on Russia by the West regarding Ukraine has led to an increase in electricity, fuel, and food prices in Europe and the United States. Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously stated that encircling and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and sanctions have seriously harmed the global economy. According to him, the West's main goal is to worsen the lives of millions of people. The Russian Federation has repeatedly expressed its intention to solve all the problems created by the West for Russia.
