Greek officials: no better time to visit

 

05 June 12

Despite all of Greece"s problems, and various dire warnings, there has never been a better time to visit. Or so say some tourism officials such as Andreas Andreadis, president of SETE, Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises.

"We are trying to change the way our country and its economy is run, however, this is not going to affect the quality of a holiday," he said.

He pointed out that Greece remains one of the top destinations in the world "and we reassure holiday makers that this summer remains business as usual," he said.

Solos recommended by My Weekly

Solos was delighted to have been featured in the 11th May edition of 'My Weekly':

"Bargain getaways for solo holidaymakers are few and far between, mainly because of the dreaded single supplement, which instantly adds to the cost of a holiday for one. Many single, divorced or widowed people find that going to a holiday company specialising in solo travellers, such as Solos, although relatively expensive, actually works out as good value for money. As well as no single supplement, the price usually includes flights, good accommodation and a holiday representative at your hotel, which is reassuring."
