Scandinavians Prefer Crete, And Especially Chania

According to the "TUI Nordic" tour operator group, the city of Chania, on the island of Crete, is the most popular summer destination for Scandinavian tourists. TUI Nordic has over 120,000 arrivals in Chania airport, and they claim that the reasons the Scandinavians prefer Greece and particularly the island of Crete are the high quality of the hotels and the accommodation, the hospitality, the education and the people.

So much so that in the first quarter of 2013, the arrivals from Scandinavian countries at Chania airport posted a 22 percent increase in comparison with the same period in 2012. Let us hope that this trend continues throughout the summer season.
