environmental consideration/impacts:
Greece generally has good environmental quality. In some important areas where environmental quality was impaired, the situation has improved in recent years (air quality in Athens, restoration of architectural and historical heritage). In others (e.g. bathing water quality) deterioration has been prevented.

The major portion (90%) came from Europe and 70% from EU countries. The tourism industry in Greece accounts for approx 16% of GDP. Within Europe, the country has over 3% of international tourist arrivals. The proportion of foreign holidaymakers is very high, at almost 75%.
