Fraport Greece presented its plans for upgrading the Macedonia airport in Thessaloniki, the largest of the 14 regional airports that will soon pass under its management.

The plans envisage that by 2020 Thessaloniki will have one of the best airports in the world, with passenger traffic expected to increase by 48 pct by 2026, signalling a new era for tourism in the city and the wider region.

The airport will be double in size...

Santorini mayor says island has reached its tourism limit

Santorini Mayor Nikos Zorzos has asked the Greek Tourism Ministry to declare that the island has reached its tourism saturation point, as the law provides for... Zorzos said that 11 percent of the island’s surface area has already been covered by buildings and structures, adding that construction has not stopped.

He added that a limit ought to be placed on the excessive exploitation of Santorini by tourism.
