Greece was listed first among destinations keen to see German tourists this year by the German newspaper "Bild am Sonntag" on Sunday, in a six-page spread on holiday possibilities for Germans at home and abroad, under the headline "Is the summer saved?"

President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou opted for a more personal touch to mark Mother’s Day on Sunday, posting her message on Facebook with photographs of herself with her daughter and with her own mother and grandmother.
