Iminyaka eminingi, iGreece inedumela njengelinye lamazwe angaphandle, akude futhi ahlukahlukene eYurophu. Inhlanganisela yezwekazi elisezintabeni neziqhingi ezisondelene ezinamabhishi amhlophe qwa, iGreece kungenzeka ixake abahambi njengendawo okungelula ukuyifinyelela. Kodwa izikhathi ziyashintsha.
Njengoba abaqhubi bezokuvakasha behlisa izintengo kumaphakheji kuwo wonke umhlaba, abahambi bakwazile ukuthola inani eliyingqayizivele ezindaweni ezibhekwa njengezingafinyeleleki ngaphambi kokuwohloka komnotho. Futhi nakuba izindawo okuyiwa kuzo zakudala (i-London, i-Paris, i-Caribbean, i-Mexico, njll.) zizohlala zikhanga, ukwehliswa kwamanani kwakamuva kanye nokwengezwa kwenani kubuyisele i-Greece kumephu yezivakashi.
UMarc Kazlauskas, umongameli we-Insight Vacations uthi: “Ukuthakasela izindawo ezithile okuyiwa kuzo kuwumjikelezo njengokuhamba nezokuvakasha ngokwazo. “IGrisi ihlale idumile. Ngisho neminyaka ehamba kancane, njengo-2008 no-2009, sabona [inani] elihloniphekile lokubhukha ngokusuka kwethu eGreece.”
Abanye abasebenza ngokuvakasha, nokho, babone ukwenyuka okuhlukile kohambo oluya eGreece. UPaul Wiseman, umongameli weTrafalgar Tours, uthi iGreece inyukile isuka endaweni yesithupha ethandwa kakhulu yile nkampani ngo-2008 yaya endaweni yesithathu ngo-2009. “Isizathu esiyinhloko sokuduma ukubaluleka okukhulu iGreece elinikezayo njengendawo okuyiwa kuyo,” usho kanje. “Ezikhathini ezinzima kwezomnotho, amanani endawo okudla, iziphuzo nezokuzijabulisa kanye nokubuka indawo nezindawo zokuhlala abaluleke kakhulu kubantu.”
U-Nick Koutsis, iphini likamongameli we-Greece kanye ne-Eastern Mediterranean Division for Central Holidays, ubone izinombolo ezishintshayo zokuya eGreece. Kusukela ngo-2004 kuya ku-2007, uthi, iGreece ikhule ngamaphesenti angu-8-11 ngonyaka, ngokwezivakashi ezivela e-US “Ngo-2008, amanani ancipha, ikakhulukazi okudalwe ukwehla okukhulu kwedola laseMelika uma liqhathaniswa ne-euro futhi kakhulu [ akhuphukayo] amanani kaphethiloli. [Ngonyaka olandelayo] kwehla ngamaphesenti angu-15 kuya kwangu-20 ngenxa yezinkinga zezomnotho emhlabeni wonke.” Umsebenzi wamanje wokubhukha, nokho, ukhombisa ukuphenduka okuhle futhi ukhomba ekwenyukeni okungaphezulu ngamaphesenti ayi-10 ngo-2010.
I-Koutsis incoma ama-Olympics ase-Athens ka-2004 ngokuthandwa okwenyukayo kweGreece. Uthi: “Le Midlalo yathuthukisa igama leGreece emhlabeni wonke njengendawo ephephile, enomoya wokungenisa izihambi—ecebile ngomlando, amasiko nobuhle bemvelo. “Ngaphezu kwalokho, imisebenzi eminingi yomphakathi emikhulu [izikhumulo zezindiza, imigwaqo emikhulu, amabhuloho, imigwaqo engaphansi komhlaba, njll.] iye yathuthukisa kakhulu ingqalasizinda yaseGreece, yathuthukisa ukunethezeka nenjabulo.”
UNico Zenner weTravel Bound uthi ukuthengiswa kwenkampani yakhe kwezokuvakasha eGreece kunyuke cishe ngamaphesenti angama-30 kunonyaka odlule. "IGreece inokuningi okunikezwayo-hhayi nje isiko elicebile nezindawo zemivubukulo, kodwa ezothando, amabhishi, ukuphumula nokudla okuhle kwaseMedithera," usho kanje.
Ingxenye yesikhalo sezwe, iKazlauskas ikholelwa ukuthi, isekuhlukahlukaneni kwayo. “Nakuba umhambi wenkolo engase afune ukuvakashela ePhatmose, umhambi wezobuciko uzoba nesithakazelo kakhulu eRhodes, futhi umculi wolwandle uzophikelela e-Mykonos.”
I-Athens ingumdayisi ophezulu weTravel Bound eGreece, kusho uZenner, elandelwa uSantorini noMykonos. “Akukhona nje ukuthi udumo [lwe-Athens] lwanda ngenxa yama-Olympics, kodwa iPiraeus Port njengamanje iyichweba elikhulu kunawo wonke eYurophu,” esho. “Ngenxa yokuthi besikhuthaza kakhulu iminikelo yethu yangaphambi nangemuva kokuhamba ngomkhumbi, ukubhukha e-Athens kuzuzile.” Ngaphezu kokuvakashela i-Acropolis eyisakhiwo sodumo, abathandi bomlando kufanele benze iphuzu lokuhambahamba ePlaka, ingxenye endala kunazo zonke edolobheni.
Nokho, uKazlauskas uthi lezi ziqhingi zithandwa kakhulu ngamakhasimende enkampani yakhe. Uthi: “Iningi [labantu] lifuna ukuchitha izinsuku ezimbili noma ezintathu kuphela ezweni elikhulu bese liya eziqhingini. “IMykonos ihlale idumile, nakuba iSantorini, Rhodes, Crete nePatmos ithandwa kakhulu yizivakashi.” Ngokwami, u-Kazlauskas ukhetha ukuchitha isikhathi e-Rhodes.“Akuyona indawo yokuvakasha noma egcwele abantu njenge-Santorini noma i-Mykonos, futhi inobuhle obumangalisayo.”
Ukusuka e-Athene, abahambi bangathatha izinkambo zosuku ukuya eKorinte, eCape Sounion (Ithempeli lasePoseidon) naseDelphi, noma bazame ukuhamba ngesikebhe ezungeze iziQhingi zaseSaronic. E-Santorini, umdayisi ohamba phambili we-Travel Bound yi-Fira Town, kanti e-Mykonos, ukudonsa okuphezulu i-Mykonos Town kanye ne-Platos Yialos.
I-Trafalgar Tours' Wiseman incoma "amagugu angakatholakali" amaningana okufanele avakashelwe, okuhlanganisa izindawo ezisePeloponnese, Dimitsana, Stemnitsa, Lousios Valley, izintaba zaseKorinte, imizana yaseZagorochoria, isiqhingi sasePaxoi, iziqhingi zaseKoufonisia nasesiqhingini sasePatmos.
I-Central Holidays' Koutsis incoma iziqhingi ezisoLwandle i-Ionian, njengeLefkas, Ithaka, Zakynthos (Zante) kanye nogu oluseningizimu yeKrethe. Ezweni elikhulu, uthanda ugu olusentshonalanga kanye nenhlonhlo yaseChalkidiki enyakatho yeGreece. Kodwa uyanezela, ukuthola indawo ekahle yokuvakasha akunzima. “IGreece inogu olungamakhilomitha angaphezu kuka-8,000 XNUMX, futhi umuntu angahlangana nolwandle oluhle cishe noma kuphi.”
Izindawo zokuhlala e-Greece
Sicele uMarc Kazlauskas we-Insight Vacations ukuthi atuse amahhotela athile ezindaweni ezithandwa izivakashi. Nazi izinto ezintathu azikhethile ezindaweni ezahlukene zezwe:
E-Athene, uKazlauskas uthanda i-Metropolitan, enamagumbi angama-374, okuhlanganisa ne-10 Suites, amagumbi aphezulu ayi-14 kanye ne-Penthouse suite enkabeni yedolobha, enokubukwa kwakho kokubili kwe-Acropolis noLwandle i-Aegean.
E-Olympia, ukhetha i-Antonios, ihhotela lezinkanyezi ezine, elinamagumbi angama-63 elinokubukwa kwesigodi lapho imidlalo yokuqala yama-Olympics yadlalwa ezinkulungwaneni zeminyaka edlule.
Futhi eDelphi, hlola i-Amalia Hotel, enamakamelo angu-184, iningi lawo elinemibono yezintaba kanye nechweba lase-Itea.
Iseluleko somenzeli
U-Bob Wieder, ozichaza ngokwakhe nge-Cruise and Tour Guy, uthi iGreece iyindawo “eshisa kakhulu” kule minyaka ezayo. “IGreece ithuthuke kakhulu ekudumeni umhlaba wonke ngama-Olympics ango-2004, futhi indawo okuyiwa kuyo ilungele abasanda kushada nabashadile,” usho kanje. “Amakhasimende ami asemancane [aneminyaka engu-25-40 ubudala] acela i-Greek Isles ukuba athandane. Bamele amaphesenti angama-60 [ebhizinisi lami]. Abanye abangamaphesenti angu-40 bakhulile [abaneminyaka engu-50-70], futhi bakhetha ezobuciko, amasiko, amanxiwa, umlando neminyuziyamu yasemaphandleni.”
Wieder usikisela ukuvakashela eGreece ngo-May noma ngo-September—“isimo sezulu [sihle] ngaphandle kwezixuku,” esho. “Lezi yizinyanga ezihamba phambili, yize u-Agasti kufanele agwenywe, njengoba abantu abaningi baseYurophu beza lapha bezongcebeleka. Futhi, isimo sezulu siyashisa impela, kunemigqa eminingi futhi namabhishi aminyene. Ukuthola ikamelo lehhotela elinenani eliphansi ngo-August kungase kube nzima, futhi.”
Mayelana nokusikisela kokuthi yiziphi izindawo ongavakashela kuzo, u-Wieder uthi i-Santorini ne-Mykonos iyintandokazi—“kodwa ungakuvimbeli ukuphila kwasebusuku e-Athens, futhi ikakhulukazi endaweni yasePlaka. Ubumnandi bombukiso womdanso wesisu ohambisana ne-Greek cuisine ne-ouzo kwenza uhambo oluhle. Futhi ungakhohlwa i-Acropolis enamamnyuziyamu azungezile nemicimbi yamasiko.
Uyanezela: “Ukungenisa izihambi kwamaGreki kusho konke. “AmaGreki angabantu abathanda ukuzijabulisa, abathanda izwe labo ngokuphelele.”
