Greece felt the absence of Russian tourists

Greek resorts feel the almost complete absence of tourists from Russia, said Russian Ambassador to Athens Andrey Maslov.

Barriers to the entry of Russian tourists to Greece were created by sanctions against the Russian Federation, the ambassador said. According to him, there is no direct communication between the countries and tourists need to get “roundabout ways”, and the prices for air tickets have risen in price.

In 2022, no more than 20-30 Russians rested in Greece, Maslov said on air TV channel “Russia 24”. According to him, “it’s a drop, practically nothing.”
