Welcome to the Region of South Aegean,<\/strong>\u2028the multi-island Greek region where the heart of Greek Tourism beats.<\/p>\n

Every year, this region leads the way in the Greek tourism industry.

They represent sun and sea at their finest. They embody the true essence of hospitality. They are rich in history and culture, bearing the marks of every civilization that has passed through this crossroads of East and West.<\/p>\n

S\u00fcdliche \u00c4g\u00e4is: Das Herz des griechischen Tourismus<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Willkommen in der Region S\u00fcdliche \u00c4g\u00e4is, der insel\u00fcbergreifenden griechischen Region, in der das Herz des griechischen Tourismus schl\u00e4gt.<\/p>\n

Jedes Jahr ist diese Region f\u00fchrend in der griechischen Tourismusindustrie. Die Kykladen und der Dodekanes – Rhodos, Kos, Mykonos, Santorin, Paros, Naxos und 40 weitere Inseln – sind Griechenlands beliebteste Reiseziele und international anerkannte Marken, die regelm\u00e4\u00dfig einen Tourismusrekord nach dem anderen brechen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sie stehen f\u00fcr Sonne und Meer in ihrer sch\u00f6nsten Form. Sie verk\u00f6rpern die wahre Essenz der Gastfreundschaft. Sie sind reich an Geschichte und Kultur und tragen die Spuren aller Zivilisationen, die diesen Kreuzungspunkt zwischen Ost und West durchquert haben.<\/p>\n

Die authentischen lokalen Produkte und die renommierte Inselgastronomie der Region – 2019 als Europ\u00e4ische Region der Gastronomie ausgezeichnet – sind tief in der Tradition verwurzelt und gleichzeitig st\u00e4ndig innovativ.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In der S\u00fcd\u00e4g\u00e4is bauen wir schon heute an der Zukunft. Pilotprojekte f\u00fcr Kreislaufwirtschaft und Abfallvermeidung auf der Insel Tilos, intelligenter Verkehr und der bahnbrechende E-Mobilit\u00e4tsdienst \u201eASTYBUS\u201c auf Astypalea, ein Null-Energie-Fu\u00dfabdruck auf Chalki, der ersten kohlenstoffneutralen Insel Griechenlands, und ein ehrgeiziges Programm mit dem Ziel, Rhodos zum ersten nachhaltigen Tourismusziel der Welt zu machen, haben die S\u00fcd\u00e4g\u00e4is zu einem Zentrum der Nachhaltigkeit gemacht.<\/p>\n

Nach und nach machen alle Inseln der S\u00fcd\u00e4g\u00e4is Fortschritte auf dem Weg zum Tourismus der Zukunft – einem nachhaltigen Morgen.<\/p>\n
