Early start of direct US-Athens flights 'a vote of confidence to Greece', Kikilias says
The start of direct flights from the United States to Greece on March 7, earlier than any other year, "amounts to a vote of confidence to our country by a key market that adds high value to Greek tourism," Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias said on Monday.
After meeting with US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt at the ministry, Kikilias said that during the summer, or high season, American airlines will operate 14 direct flights between 8 large US airports and Athens.
