Despite heat and fires: Greece reports a tourism boom for 2023. More than 32.7 million people visited the country in 2023 - despite the sometimes very high temperatures and fires.
In 2019, before the corona pandemic, 31.3 million tourists were counted. Revenue also rose sharply by more than 20 percent to 20.5 billion euros. Last summer, tens of thousands of residents and tourists had to be brought to safety from fires on the popular holiday islands of Rhodes and Corfu.
