George HadjimarkosOfficial Tourism Message

The Region of South Aegean, with the 48 populated islands and some of the most powerful tourism brands on the global tourism map, annually welcomes 40% of Greece’s total tourist arrivals. It is a group of island tourism destinations of unprecedented and unique beauty that covers the whole scope of the interest of visitors with high quality offered services.

Taking as a fact that tourism is the driving force of the South Aegean’s economy, as well as the country’s in total, the Region of South Aegean works under an organized plan in order to further promote our islands within the global tourism market and improve offered services, having as a main goal to completely satisfy our millions of visitors through their vacation experience.

The strategic plan for tourism development that we have prepared and is already running with exceptional success, which focuses on the development of strategic cooperations and the use of a state of the art digital platform for the destination’s promotion to millions of viewers, constitutes the tools that the Region of South Aegean uses aiming to maintain and further reinforce the high performances of the tourism industry.

But we are not stopping here. We are not settling down. We constantly enrich our identity with all those elements that precisely deliver our true image. We strengthen and improve our infrastructure. We highlight our multifaceted tourism product as much as we can. We promote: the gastronomy of the islands by becoming a candidate for the title of “European Region of Gastronomy 2019”; our rich cultural heritage; and the destinations that offer authentic travel experiences. We promote alternative forms of tourism in the South Aegean, aiming to expand the tourism season. Our islands are the ideal destination for vacations all year round and this is what we aim to achieve.

Our goal is to show the real “face” of the South Aegean. A face that is unique, multifaceted and invincible. To show that it is a safe and welcoming destination. To show that it has all that anyone could ask for from their vacation and which is being offered with opens hands. To show that its dozens of beautiful islands with unique features can satisfy every demand and turn a vacation into a unique and special personal experience.

The Cyclades and the Dodecanese are not simply sun and beautiful beaches. They are History. They are Civilization. They are the marks that every destination leaves during its historic path. This path in time is worth being “walked” by every visitor.

This is the goal of our Region, which we loyally serve. Under the same dedication and respect towards our millions of visitors, we continue to only offer the best!
