Health First. Greece launches new tourism campaign
Greece has launched a new campaign aimed at promoting the country as a safe tourism destination amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The half-minute video, which was released by the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) under the slogan “Destination Greece. Health First,” brings together footage of archetypal Greek natural and architectural attractions together with the reassuring message that the country complies with all the necessary health and safety protocols.
Greece’s early lockdown has been credited with holding down Covid-19 numbers.

Greece: Sunken ferry to be raised after fuel leaks
Greek authorities say the wreckage of a passenger ferry involved in an accident that killed 81 people almost two decades ago will be raised from the seabed off the island of Paros.
The Express Samina sank off the island, a popular vacation destination, after hitting rocks on Sept. 26, 2000.
Giannis Plakiotakis, Greece’s merchant marine minister, said Monday that the sunken vessel continues to leak fuel after nearly 20 years and some showed up on Paros last month.
