Indian Travelers: Key Focus of Greece’s 2025 Tourism Push

Greece is setting its sights on India as a priority market for 2025, according to Greek Tourism Minister Olga Kefalogianni. Speaking at a media briefing, Kefalogianni outlined plans to attract Indian tourists through streamlined visa issuance, expanded consular services, and increased promotional efforts.

To kick off this initiative, a Greek delegation will attend a major tourism exhibition in New Delhi in February. The government also aims to open consulates in Mumbai and Bangalore, complementing the existing embassy in Delhi. This move reflects the ministry’s ambitious goal of increasing Indian tourist arrivals by 15% in 2025.

India is projected to become one of the world’s largest consumer markets by 2025, offering immense potential for tourism. Recent trends already show growth, with Indian arrivals in Greece rising by 18% in 2023, according to Mabrian data. Direct flights between the two countries are also on the table to further facilitate travel.

In addition to India, Greece plans to enhance ties with other key markets, including South Korea, Japan, China, and Saudi Arabia. These efforts aim to boost tourist arrivals, extend the season, and reduce dependency on summer visitors.

Greece offers an unparalleled experience for travelers, blending ancient history with modern charm. Whether you're planning a Greece road trip itinerary or exploring the islands, this destination is perfect for all seasons.

For those wondering about the best time to visit Greece, spring and autumn offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds, making it ideal for exploration.
