Greek Flash Mob Event At River Thames, London

One of the Greek highlights at this year’s World Travel Market in London, UK, was the flash mob event organized by the Greek Tourism Ministry and the Greek National Tourism Organization on the banks of the River Thames in London under the message “Greece Welcomes You.” The event aimed to promote Greece abroad, a press release issued by the Tourism Ministry said.
