After a series of violent protests and strikes in Athens, Greece, tourism officials in the country say Greece is still a great destination for a family vacation. Angela Gerekou is the Greek Tourism Minister.
"Athens is safe as usual, the life is going on as usual. Our islands already, they already have citizens from other countries, they are passing a really great time."
Just six days ago, tens of thousands protested in Athens in a demonstration that erupted into violence in the city's streets. Those pictures seen around the world scared some tourists from traveling to Greece. Andreas Andriadis is the President of the Greek Hoteliers Association.
