Former United States president George Bush arrived at the Megas Alexandros, Alexander the Great, Interational Airport of Chrysoupolis, near the coastal city of Kavala in northern Greece, on Monday, accompanied by his wife Barbara, their twin granddaughters and friends, to begin a vacation in the region.
Former US President George Bush arrived in Greece yesterday for a sailing holiday as a guest of shipping tycoon Spiros Latsis. The former president and his entourage flew by helicopter to a cruiser anchored at the port of Nea Peramos the previous day under tight security. A smiling George Bush briefly walked on the vessel’s deck with his wife and grandchildren before going inside the yacht, which sailed off into the northern Aegean Sea at noon, accompanied by a coast guard vessel.
Bush’s weeklong stay is scheduled to include a tour around the northern Aegean islands of Thasos, Lemnos and Samos as well as the Sporadic Islands. Bush is expected to also visit the all-male Orthodox Monastic community of Mount Athos, as he has done in numerous previous visits to Greece.
