To Greece?

Today a local newspaper in Bremen reports attempts of the Greek government to get FR flying to four Greek airports. (No names dropped though.) In order to raise tourist traffic to Greece the government also announced a reduction of airport taxes during the upcoming winter season, says the "Kurier am Sonntag".

I always thought Greek airports are far to expensive for FR. From Germany only easyjet and Air Berlin/LTU are going there.

There's is a (former) military airport between Athens and Korinth which is bang on target for FR. But the German Hochtief company, which runs Athens airport, has allegedly contractually excluded any other public airport in 100 km distance.

So can anyone confirm those negotiations? Will Greece become part of FR's map? Which city? Athens, Saloniki, Heraklion?
