Foreign tourism arrivals rose a remarkable 23 percent in 2014 compared to the previous year to reach a record 22 million, not including cruise visitors, according to the Bank of Greeceā€™s annual border survey that the Hellenic Statistical Authority published on Tuesday.

Germany and the United Kingdom remained the top two countries of origin for tourists to this country, with 2.46 million from the former and 2.09 million from the latter visiting Greece last year.

Don't you mean the hotels that have employed firms to put phoney ratings on the TA site so that the hotels appear at the top of the lists?

Trust me, Ari, one of those owners is too mean to pay anyone to do that. And if the Brits who stay there heard what is said about them, in Greek, the hotel wouldn't be in the top 10,000.
