Tripadvisor released its annual Travelers Choice Awards, a list of the top destinations for 2022 with several Greek destinations included in high spots in different categories.

Most notably, Crete occupied second place in the list of the most popular destinations in Europe for the current year, while in the corresponding world list, the largest island of our country “landed” in fifth place. Athens and Corfu were included in the list of European destinations. More specifically, the Greek capital ranked 14th in the preferences of tourists planning to travel to Europe in 2022, while the Corfu was in 16th place.

The criteria for highlighting the specific destinations each year are the following: the quality and the number of reviews that have been uploaded for each destination separately in the period from November 1, 2020, to October 31, 2021.

London took top honours for this year, in the European best destinations list, while also ranking second in the world, losing the top spot from Dubai.

In general, Europe is set to have a strong year in tourism for 2022, as Rome, Paris, and Barcelona are in third, fifth, and sixth place, respectively, with Constantinople (Istanbul) in Turkey coming in at 4.
