ATHENS, Greece – The number of Russian tourists arriving in Greece and Athens in particular is expected to increase during this summer season, according to associate tourism consultant Thodoris Angelopoulos. The information was released after the latest contact with tour operators during the Greek Prime Ministerโ€™s visit as well as the MITT tourism exhibition in Moscow.

The Russian Sailing Association made the decision to organize the International Sailing Race โ€œUpper Volga Raceโ€ in Greece, starting from 2016.

According to Angelopoulos, several Russian sailing specialists are expected to visit Greece in the coming months in order to make the process run smoothly, always in cooperation with Greek authorities, and determine the sea routes that will be used for the competition. In fact, the Russian Sailing Association is planning to organize the race in Greece every two years.
