Goal for 2018 tourism season is 1mln Russian holiday-makers

According to Russia's Turstat statistics service, roughly 856,000 holiday-makers visited Greece in 2017, up 10 percent from the previous year.

Nevertheless, a lower figure is provided by the Bank of Greece (BoG), which recorded 588.700 arrivals by Russian tourists in 2017, down from roughly 595,500 in 2016, a decrease of 1.1 percent.

Did my parents leave me on a hillside to die?

In the summer of 1937, a nine-month-old girl was hidden with her hands tied in a blackberry bush in southern England. She was found by sheer chance by a family of holidaymakers.
