For a long time, this country remained out of the attention of tourists from the former countries of the socialist camp because of the rather high prices for vacations. Over the past few years, the convergence of Greek resorts and guests from Eastern European countries has been rapidly going on. The former have significantly reduced prices, in this regard, tourists gained access to the famous ancient Greek monuments and beautiful beaches.
