Santorini wants
more winter visitors to the island and hoteliers are to launch a major
initiative to tempt off-peak travellers.
Not only have
hotel owners been persuaded to stay open throughout the winter months but
visitor attraction will keep their doors open too.
Without the soft
sand beaches of many other Greek islands, Santorini has never actually based
its tourism model on the usual sand and sea attractions.
Its biggest
draws are the amazing cliff-top villages around the rim of a volcanic caldera,
some impressive archaeological sites and its world famous food and wine.
The plan has the
backing of island mayor Nikolaos Zorzos who launched a collaborative initiative
'Santorini: Year-round Destination'.
"Santorini
may already be acknowledged internationally but we will not rest on our laurels
as we are aiming for the island always to be on the top of the traveller's
mind," the mayor told a tourism meeting.
This winter
around 100 hotels on Santorini have agreed to stay open along with a number of
restaurants, bars and shops.
Other
initiatives aimed at promoting all-year-round tourism include keeping transport
services active over the winter including regular flights from Athens and daily
ferry services.
The initiative
may well pave the way for other Greek islands to cash in on attracting more
winter visitors.
As tourist
numbers look set to reach record levels this year, the Greek government has
already committed to backing moves to extend the tourism season beyond the
traditional months of May to September.
