The Daily Telegraph focuses on ten destinations that the Greeks want to keep as a “seven-sealed secret” so that only they can enjoy them as much as possible.
The author tries to decode the travel “DNA” of Greeks who prefer holidays “with friends” and in August to return “to their village”.
According to the journalistic research, pleasant company and good food are the ingredients of the ideal holidays for Greeks who are determined to give up holidays abroad, as their country is one of the best in the world.
Then it comes to the ten authentic paradises that Greek tourists prefer not to share with the rest of the world and undoubtedly deserve the attention of the British.
In the list of the ten “secret” areas, Kimolos stands out as the first place which is considered the “opposite” of Mykonos and Naxos which impresses with the experiences it offers away from crowds, the endless coastline and the mountainous settlements.
Preveza, Zagori and Metsovo with their picturesqueness and impressive landscape worthily represent mainland Greece. Syros with its pure local products and Eastern Crete that pulsates with untouched beaches and small taverns could not be missing from the ranking.
Alonissos holds its own special place on the list, inviting visitors on a journey into the mysterious world of the first underwater museum in Greece.
Finally, the article concludes with a reference to the hospitable Kastellorizo and the seductive Santorini.
With the first underwater museum in Greece, Alonissos is internationalized with the interest of visitors coming not only from Europe, but also from much more distant markets, said the Mayor of Alonissos Petros Vafinis.
“Both Greeks and travelers abroad responded enthusiastically to our call for holidays in Naxos, so that in some periods we can even surpass the data of 2019”, stressed the Deputy Mayor of Naxos and Small Cyclades, Vangelis Katsaras.
