The aim of ELITOUR is to give prominence to our country’s potentials by establishing its place in the global map of medical tourism. In this effort of ours, we are effectively supported by the Greek National Tourism Organization (EOT) and the Ministry of Tourism and this demonstrates our course in the future.
