German and Russian media will be turning their attention to Athens and Thessaloniki as city break destinations this November and December thanks to initiatives from Marketing Greece to facilitate visiting journalists from both countries.
German journalist Johanna Rüdiger will be visiting Athens between November 22-25 with a view to writing articles for the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger newspaper (circulation 350,000), the Berliner Zeitung (circulation 126,000) and the Main-Echo (circulation 77,000).
A group trip of German journalists from newspapers representing a combined circulation of more than 1.8 million readers is also being organised for Thessaloniki early next month.
Meanwhile, a group of five Russian journalists, from Grazia to Voyage Magazine, will be visiting Thessaloniki between November 28 and December 1.
