A large quantity of printed and digital promotional materials about the region and its islands was distributed at the booth, which was also visited by the Consul General of Greece in Munich, Konstantinos Kodellas. The Ionian Islands Region was represented by the Deputy Regional Governor for Social Policy, Solidarity & Voluntary Work, Theodoros Kontzialis.
