Greece is among the best countries in the world to visit in 2023, according to this year’s Telegraph Travel Awards.
Launched in 1998, the Telegraph Travel Awards returned after a three-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Over 30,000 Telegraph readers voted for their favorite destinations, airlines, and travel companies for the 2023 edition.
According to the poll’s results released in July, Greece was named the 11th best country to visit on Earth and the 2nd best in Europe after Italy. Greece achieved a seven-position climb since 2019, and when compared to the 2013 awards, is considered a new entry in the top 20.
