EDITORIAL

Premier gets last chance Greek voters feel frustrated and disillusioned. In 2004, a majority believed in conservative leader Costas Karamanlis, only to be disappointed with many aspects of New Democracy's administration. Worse still, a number of key government officials were found to be implicated in scandals and economic mismanagement. Now voters seem willing to give the prime minister one more chance to make amends.

EDITORIAL:AthensPlus

Tourism and the citizen Concern over a possible drop in the number of visitors coming to Greece this year centers on the two aspects that determine the flow of tourists: the economy in visitors' countries and the destination's image. On both fronts, Greece faces serious challenges. The problems that British citizens, for example, will face from the plunging value of the pound and their own worsening economy are ringing alarm bells in Greece, where tourism is a mainstay of the economy and Britons are a pillar of tourism.
