As Conde Nast Traveler reports, “Greece tops the list of countries with the most Google searches for travel in 2023. From the whitewashed island of Mykonos with its sugar-cube buildings and the lush green rhythms of Kefalonia, known for its hiking trails and its rustic villages, Greece is the destination that keeps on giving. Start in Athens, home to some of the world’s best bars, to get a taste of the country’s culinary masterpieces. Then head to the Greek island of your choice – will it be sunset from the Santorini crater? Beaches without people in Corfu? Late summer sun in Crete? Whatever you choose, Greece is sure to impress, every time.”
In the ranking “The most Googled travel cities and islands of 2023”, Rhodes is in first place. “Of all the Greek islands you should visit, this one is very special. After the tragic fires on the island earlier in 2023, taking away 15% of its land, Rhodes is slowly being rebuilt. Visit the old town, where a maze of alleyways weaves around Byzantine churches that stand strong next to Roman ruins and generations-old restaurants. Along the coast, impressive cliffs offer epic views of golden beaches spilling into the Mediterranean, while inland alpine forests are perfect for early morning hikes that lead to crumbling hilltop castles and ancient ruins. The island has not yet fully recovered, but the interest of travelers who want to support Rhodes is a testament to the beauty of the island.”
