Greek Tourist Board Calls for Co-Operation
The Greek tourist board has asked the country's government to help it expand more "common desintations" with Turkey.
President of the Greek Travel Agencies Union, Yannis Evangellou, said that he was hopeful the two countries could "reinforce [their] ties in tourism" at Turkey's biggest tourism fair, Travel Turkey, this week.
Mr Evangellou said: "For the last ten years, efforts to build cooperation have increased. Both governments should provide support to help us improve common destinations.
"We need new arrangements on tax structures, visa and custom regulations. In this context, Turkey's full European Union membership is vitally important to clear all the hurdles on marketing the common destinations."
The region of Izmir in Turkey was tipped as a top new tourist alternative to more common destinations such as Istanbul and Topkapi.
Izmir is the third most populous city in Turkey and the country's largest port after Istanbul.
Every year it hosts an international arts festival during June and July while the Izmir International Fair takes place at the beginning of September.
Holidaymakers can access the city through Adnan Menderes Airport which operates national and international flights.
