As the Greek public holiday of 15 August is near, more and more Athenians are leaving the city and heading to the islands. August is the month that most Greeks take their summer vacation.
The Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises recently said that the country’s domestic tourism market seems to be recovering for the first time in five years.
Seventy-five percent of Greeks will skip their summer vacation this year and stay home, according to the annual nationwide survey conducted by the General Consumer Federation of Greece (INKA).
