TripAdvisor: Beaches in Greece on World’s and Europe’s Best Lists for 2021
Four of Greece’s most popular beaches, located on the islands of Crete and Milos, are included on the lists of the Top 25 Beaches in the World and in Europe for 2021, which were recently released by travel planning and booking site TripAdvisor.
Crete’s Balos Lagoon ranks 21st on the Top 25 Beaches – World list and 6th on the Top 25 Beaches – Europe list.
Elafonissi beach, also on Crete, ranks 24th in the world and 7th in Europe.
TripAdvisor’s Top 25 Beaches in Europe list also includes two beaches located on the island of Milos in the Cyclades.
The island’s Kleftiko and Sarakiniko beaches ranked 9th and 13th, respectively.
The Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards are based on the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings from Tripadvisor travelers for beaches, gathered over a 12-month period.
New for 2021, the Best of the Best – Beaches also takes into account the volume of “saves” for beaches on Tripadvisor, reflecting the position that many travelers were in for much of 2020 — unable to travel, desperate to explore, lusting after the beaches they wished they could visit.
For 2021, Australia’s Whitehaven Beach takes the top spot amongst global travelers.
In addition, Spiaggia dei Conigli in Lampedusa, Sicily was announced best in Europe.
