€2.79 billion in travel receipts flowed into Greece in January-April, up 36.9% from a year earlier, as foreign arrivals climbed 27.1% to 5.24 million.
An 8.6% rise in average spending per trip amplified the gain, lifting Greece’s travel surplus 58.5% to €1.66 billion during the usually quieter opening months.

The UK led major source markets: receipts more than doubled to €331.7 million and arrivals rose 51% to 445,000, while Germany and the US showed softer spending trends.
