Greece Voted as Top Destination for 2023 at News UK Travel Awards

Milos

According to The Sun's London readers, Greece emerged as the top travel destination in the world for 2023.

The prestigious accolade was presented to E. Skarveli, the Head of the GNTO UK & Ireland Office, during the News UK Travel Awards held in Turkey this year.

In a compelling article, travel writer Ryan Gray transports readers to the enchanting island of Milos, hailed by Travel + Leisure as the "best island in the world" for 2021. Gray describes Milos as a hidden gem, offering dreamy landscapes bathed in sunlight and surrounded by the most mesmerizing azure waters.

The island's crowning glory lies in its immaculate beaches, renowned as some of the cleanest in the entire Greek archipelago. Gray celebrates the warm hospitality of the locals, who eagerly invite visitors to explore their charming villages. This sentiment is echoed by Tiktoker Kristian Gaupset, whose viral video showcases Milos' crystalline waters, which he claims glow in an ethereal shade of blue. With beaches of various colors and compositions, from shell-strewn shores to rocky coves and sandy stretches, Milos promises beachgoers a diverse and unforgettable experience. TripAdvisor's top-rated attractions on the island include 16 remarkable beaches, such as Kleftiko Beach, Sarakiniko Beach, Plathiena Beach, Firiplaka Beach, and Firopotamos Beach.

Stepping beyond its stunning coastline, Milos reveals an abundance of historical treasures. Gray highlights the ancient Roman theater in the village of Tripiti, a remarkably well-preserved structure that offers panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the picturesque harbor of Kilma village. Additionally, Milos takes pride in its catacombs, recognized as one of the world's three most significant catacombs, serving as a testament to the island's fascinating past.

A mere four-hour flight from the UK, Milos welcomes travelers with its warm climate, which continues to embrace visitors even as autumn descends. September graces the island with average high temperatures of 26°C, gradually tapering to a delightful 22°C in October. This idyllic weather, combined with Milos' natural beauty and inviting atmosphere, makes it an irresistible choice for those seeking a remarkable autumn escape.
