Greece: Best European Destination at the Telegraph Travel Awards 2025
Greece has been named Best European Destination at the prestigious Telegraph Travel Awards 2025, dethroning Italy after 25 consecutive years at the top.
This recognition, awarded on July 11 at a special ceremony in London, is a strong vote of confidence from 20,000 readers of the British Telegraph, a high-profile audience of frequent travelers seeking authentic experiences. The award was received by Ms. Eleni Skarveli, Head of the GNTO (Greek National Tourism Organization) Office in the UK.
According to the Telegraph editorial, Greece rightly earned the title, as it offers a unique variety of destinations, combining:
• World-famous historical landmarks, from the Acropolis to Knossos.
• Authentic hospitality and rich gastronomy.
• Dozens of islands with distinct character, from the cosmopolitan Cyclades to the tranquil gems of the Ionian Sea.
• Experiences covering all aspects of tourism – cultural, maritime, culinary, and wellness.
Why this recognition matters
Being awarded by one of the UK’s most influential travel authorities creates significant momentum for Greece’s tourism and real estate market:
• It strengthens the country’s image as a safe, authentic, and premium destination, increasing demand for high-end accommodation.
• It attracts high-net-worth travelers, who often become buyers of holiday homes.
• It boosts key sectors such as luxury real estate, branded residences, boutique hotels, and value-added tourism projects.
What it means for investors
This growing visibility for Greece is more than just a tourism success—it acts as a catalyst for new investments:
• Rising demand for luxury villas and holiday homes in premium locations.
• Increased interest in hotel developments and boutique projects on lesser-known islands.
• A stronger Golden Visa market, as more Europeans see Greece as their “second home.”
Greece is emerging not only as a top holiday destination but also as a strategic choice for tourism and real estate investments, combining strong returns with an exceptional lifestyle.
Conclusion:
The Telegraph Travel Awards 2025 recognition confirms that Greece is entering a new era of international exposure, creating even greater prospects for those active in tourism and luxury real estate.
