The Greek National Tourism Organization (EOT) launched a new advertising campaign on Thursday, touting Greece’s attractions as a city break destination.
Coining the word ‘Greekend,’ the campaign encourages people to “end your week like a Greek,” ekathimerini.com reports.
In its new spot, EOT promotes Athens and Thessaloniki as ideal destinations for travelers looking for a weekend break, stressing the prevailing good weather conditions and easy flight connections.
It showcases the offerings tourists can enjoy in Greece’s big cities including the coffee culture, local cuisine, art galleries, shopping destinations, and entertainment venues.
“The Tourism Ministry and EOT are launching the City Break campaign, inviting visitors to discover the well-known and hidden corner of Greek cities,” noted Tourism Minister Vasilis Kikilias.
“Hotels in our cities, particularly Athens and Thessaloniki, have suffered due to the pandemic.
This campaign is the first in a series of
initiatives we will carry out, inviting visitors to safely enjoy an
authentic Greek weekend in our largest cities,” he continued.
“The pandemic has negatively impacted urban tourism. In many cases, disproportionately to our other tourist destinations,” pointed out EOT General Secretary Dimitris Fragkakis, adding that “the Greekend campaign seeks to promote a complete tourist product, one that is equal to other established European weekend destinations.”
The new campaign is scheduled to initially run for two months in 10 countries including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, and Israel.
