According to the readers of Condé Nast Traveller (CNT), Greece is the best country in the world and the top destination to visit in 2016, followed by Italy and the US.
The Readers' Travel Awards celebrate the best of the best in travel, as voted by the people who love to wander the world and explore different places.
Readers were asked to vote on various criteria ranging from service, design, culture and value for money. Greece received crowd-pleasing scores across the board, with CNT readers declaring that they can't get enough of our homeland as it continues to capture their imagination.
Despite the current financial crisis that has been tormenting the country for over a decade, as well as the impact of the refugee crisis that has seen tens of thousands of migrants stranded in Greece (adding to the one million that have passed its borders), tourists have not been deterred from visiting the capital city, Athens, the mystical world heritage sites, the ancient ruins, as well as the enchanting Greek islands with their breathtaking beaches, excellent food and first class hospitality.
The honour of ranking as the number one country in the world for tourists is a great one, and subsequently validates the statistical and official data of the Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE), which projected Greece to reach between 25-27 million tourists by the end of 2016, despite the massive drop of bookings in the Greek islands that were hit the hardest by the refugee crisis (Chios, Lesvos and Samos).
