Greeks Go On Holiday Longer Than Any Other EuropeansGreeks go on vacation for almost double the amount of time for any other European Union citizen, according to an analysis of new Eurostat data by The Independent.Greeks spend an average of 9.9 days on vacation, which is almost double the EU-wide average of 5.1 days.The only other nation’s citizens who stay away from home routinely for more than a week were those from Luxembourg, taking 7.1 days off. Eurostat’s survey of 1.3 billion leisure and business trips shows some other surprisingly wide disparities in the travel habits of people across the EU.Some other key findings of the survey are those who take the shortest trips. Estonians and Latvians average just 3.3 days. Next to them are the Finns, just across the Baltic, who surprisingly take only 3.4 days away from their homes in the northern climes.British travelers take holidays which last for an above-average 5.5 days.
