neutral  Michael Davies: hmmm ... ikke sikker at jeg vil være enig; for mig set er 'turistinformation' = tourist information (ikke nødvendigvis et kontor - det kunne jo f.eks. være en informationstavle).

2)if you want the term "tourist office" in greec is γραφειο τουριστικων πληροφοριών , γραφειο Ε.Ο.Τ (-GREEK ORGANISATION FOR TOURIMS)
