Tourism in Athens more than doubles since 2008

·

The number of visitors to Athens has more than doubled over the past 17 years, according to an article by Ilias Bellos in ekathimerini.com

In January 2008, 636,615 travelers arrived in the Greek capital, while this January, international passenger traffic at Athens Airport soared to 1,323,915—a 108% increase.

The trend shows no signs of slowing. Last month alone, international arrivals rose by 18.7% compared to January 2024, following a 12.7% increase in January 2024 compared to the same month in 2023.

The surge is evident on the streets of Athens, with a growing number of visitors, including many from across the Atlantic.
