Chinese tourists are resuming travel, with Greece, including Athens and Santorini, being popular destinations. Lan Xiaocheng's travel agency is preparing for increased tourism following China's reopening of borders.

Protests are anticipated as the public seeks answers about the crash's cause. Funerals for the first victims were held, while searches continue for missing individuals. A vigil at Larissa train station honors the memory of the deceased, many of whom were students. A 59-year-old station manager has been arrested and faces multiple felony charges in connection with the collision.
How Greek tea is coming down from the mountain and into daily life
Greek mountain tea, also known as sideritis, is gaining popularity in Greece, traditionally not known for its tea consumption. Historically used for medicinal purposes, it is now enjoyed as a non-medicinal beverage, with an eight percent increase in consumption over the past year. Tea houses are emerging, offering a variety of teas and educating consumers on their benefits. Greek mountain tea is praised for its health benefits, ease of preparation, and as a relaxing alternative to coffee.
BYD helps Greek electric vehicle take-up accelerate into fast lane
BYD, the world's largest electric battery and vehicle maker, has entered the Greek market, aiming to capitalize on the country's growing demand for electric vehicles. The Greek government has pledged to ban new gasoline and diesel vehicles by 2030 and offers grants to encourage the switch to electric vehicles. BYD's ETP3 model is highlighted as a cost-effective option compared to competitors like Citroen and Renault. The company has already sold its initial fleet and plans to introduce passenger vehicles later in the year. The Greek market for electric vehicles is expanding rapidly, with over 8,000 units sold in 2022.
Greek restaurant owners excited to welcome back visitors from China
Greece has introduced new restrictions on travelers from China, requiring a negative COVID-19 test and high-protection masks at airports. Despite the U-turn in policy, Greek restaurant owners remain optimistic about the return of Chinese tourists, emphasizing their confidence in safety measures and expressing more concern about inflation than the virus. The tourism sector, which suffered during the pandemic, has rebounded with record arrivals, and further increases are expected with more flights from China.
Inflation pushes up Greek grocery worries
High energy costs, inflation, and rising food prices in Greece are causing significant changes in consumer behavior, with many Greeks turning to farmers markets to avoid the high prices at supermarkets. A recent survey indicates that seven out of ten Greeks have cut back on basic food items, and the price of some groceries has risen by 13 percent. The Greek government, led by Kyriakos Mitotakis, has announced price caps on basic food products to mitigate the impact of inflation. Local residents and officials express concerns about the severe economic challenges, predicting a difficult winter ahead.
Greece-Bulgaria pipeline offers 'freedom from Russian gas'
The Gas Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria pipeline is now operational, providing an alternative to Russian gas for the Balkans. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hailed it as a game changer for energy security. The pipeline, funded by Greece, Bulgaria, and the EU, connects with the Trans Adriatic Pipeline and will eventually increase gas flow to 4.5 billion cubic meters annually. Von der Leyen also addressed rising energy costs, emphasizing the need for a unified European strategy, though she recently rejected a proposal for a gas price cap, a decision criticized by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Greece's economic recovery held back by labor shortages
Greece is facing significant labor shortages across various sectors, including tourism, hospitality, and construction, with over 200,000 positions remaining vacant. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the issue, as many workers have not returned to low-paid jobs. Despite efforts by the Greek government and the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility to create jobs, there is a lack of applicants. Workers express dissatisfaction with low wages and poor working conditions. Giorgos Stasinos of the Technical Chamber of Greece suggests subsidizing employment to incentivize job-seeking, but the problem persists.
Former firefighters seek to prevent devastating Greek wildfire repeat
Greece is preparing for the upcoming fire season, aiming to prevent a repeat of the devastating wildfires of 2021. Measures include clean-ups, ground patrols, and air surveillance. The first responder group VYRONAS, consisting of former firefighters, emphasizes the importance of preparation, such as clearing paths and patrolling forests. Despite the start of the summer season, volunteer Stavros Salagiannis criticizes the delayed start of clean-up operations. The European Union is providing over 200 firefighters and technical equipment to Greece. Experts advocate for investing in prevention and preparation to combat increasingly powerful wildfires.
Greece's olive tourism industry gets modern makeover amid new funds
Greece's olive tourism industry, long popular for its tastings and press visits, is undergoing a modern transformation with the help of new government funds. The Markellos Olive press in the Peloponnese peninsula is leading the way by incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) experiences, allowing visitors to engage with the olive harvesting process year-round. The Greek government is supporting this sector with grants to help businesses recover from the pandemic and become more visible globally. Key figures like Nikos Markellos and Deputy Tourism Minister Sofia Zaharaki are optimistic about the industry's future.
