Although overnight stays of travelers from Israel dropped this year in Thessaloniki, the country has remained among the northern Greek city’s top international source markets.
Tourism flows to Thessaloniki, Greece, picked up in 2021 with the number of overnight stays increasing by 50.63% over 2020, according to the city’s hotels association.
Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city, is struggling to attract visitors, recording only 531,806 overnight stays in the first 8 months of the year, down by 0.04% over the same period in 2020.
Thessaloniki Hotels Association President Andreas Mandrinos has painted a gloomy picture for the city's hotels, which are facing hard times due to Covid-19.
Israelis, Americans, and Germans were at the top of the list of international travelers to Thessaloniki in 2019, according to the Thessaloniki Hotels Association.
