**Greek Mineral Water Imports Surge Amid Summer Demand**
**Greece’s water import market sees increased activity ahead of peak tourist season**
* Greek imports of bottled mineral water rose 12% in June compared to the same month last year, driven by growing demand from tourists and local consumers.
* The majority of imported mineral water originated from European countries, with Italy being a leading supplier due to its geographical proximity and competitive pricing.
* Prices for imported mineral water have remained relatively stable this quarter, influenced by steady global supply levels and moderate transportation costs.
Greece’s mineral water imports are expected to continue their upward trend as the country prepares for peak tourist season. The increase in demand is largely driven by tourists seeking locally available bottled mineral water, which is often preferred over tap water due to quality concerns. As a result, Greek importers are turning to European suppliers to meet this growing demand, with Italy emerging as a key player in the market.
