A record number of Turkish tourists are expected to visit Greece this year. An estimated 1.4 million Turkish holidaymakers are predicted to visit their neighbouring nation – an increase of 200,000 (around 16%) from last year.

The number of Greek visitors is also expected to rise from 707,000 in 2024 to around 800,000 in 2025 (an increase of approximately 13%). The often strained relationship between Greece and Turkey is well-documented but travel website, Travel and Tour World, reports the surge in Turkish tourists is reshaping the landscape of cross-border tourism and reflects growing momentum in bilateral travel. Both Turkey and Greece are popular with UK tourists, welcoming millions of Britons every year attracted to warm weather, good food, sandy beaches, rich culture and more.
