According to Marietta Papavasileiou, Vice Governor of Tourism for the Region of South Aegean, both the Dodecanese and the Cyclades island complexes are home to luxury hotels that can surely boost the tourism profile of each destination.

“The International Luxury Travel Market is the ideal place to network for the promotion of the tourism profile of the South Aegean Region”, Ms. Papavasileiou said in an announcement on Friday.
