Marcopolo’s special edition Speciale Estate 2018, will also include a feature on the Greek islands and Astypalea in particular.

In addition, a number of TV spots on Astypalea will be broadcast on Marcopolo’s web channel throughout the summer season.

“Our aim is to promote the island’s nature, culture, traditions, local products and gastronomy and to strengthen our long relationship with the Italian tourists,” Astypalea Deputy Mayor Maria Kambouri said.

The press trip was part of a number of promotional activities organized by the municipality within the framework of its new tourism campaign, which was launched in May. Under the motto “Astypalea: Τhe Aegean Energy Spring”, the campaign aims to promote the island’s beauties, summer offers and gastronomy.

Furthermore, travel and tourism consultant MTC Group has been assigned to implement a year-long strategy for the island’s promotion and to boost its tourism product.
