Greece and the United Kingdom Sign Memorandum of Understanding on Strategic Tourism Cooperation

The Minister of Tourism of Greece, Olga Kefalogianni, and the UK's Minister for Tourism, Stephanie Peacock, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in London to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the tourism sector.

This is the first formal bilateral agreement between Greece and the United Kingdom dedicated to tourism, marking the beginning of a new framework for strategic collaboration. The five-year Memorandum, which includes an automatic renewal provision, establishes a platform for joint initiatives in sustainable tourism development, investment, innovation and digital transformation, tourism education and vocational training, as well as the exchange of expertise and best practices.

Particular emphasis is placed on the development of special-interest tourism, including gastronomic, wine, mountain and agritourism. The MoU also provides for the establishment of a joint working group to oversee its implementation and further strengthen cooperation between the two countries.

Following the signing ceremony, Minister of Tourism Olga Kefalogianni stated:

"The United Kingdom has long been one of Greece's most important source markets for tourism. Visitor flows continue to grow, further reinforcing the strong ties of friendship between our two countries.

Today's Memorandum of Understanding marks an important step towards deepening our strategic partnership in tourism. It establishes a modern framework for cooperation that extends beyond tourism promotion to encompass sustainability, innovation, investment, tourism education and the exchange of expertise.

This agreement represents an investment in the future of the tourism sectors of both countries, creating new opportunities for businesses, destinations and travellers alike."

Ancient Greek Lyre Featured by the BBC and London's Guildhall School of Music & Drama

The ancient Greek lyre, one of antiquity's most iconic musical instruments, has taken centre stage in a series of high-profile cultural events in the United Kingdom.

Musicians Theodoros Koumartzis and Lina Palera presented a concert, led an educational workshop, and appeared live on BBC radio, introducing British audiences to the distinctive sound and rich history of an instrument that, for centuries, was known primarily through archaeological discoveries and artistic depictions.

Their visit formed part of the Guildhall Harp Festival, organised by harp professor Imogen Barford at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. The festival marked the institution's first official presentation of the ancient Greek lyre, featuring both a concert and a hands-on workshop attended by, among others, Guildhall harp students studying at the highest level.

The events highlighted growing international interest in the revival of the ancient Greek lyre and its place within both historical scholarship and contemporary musical performance.
