Condé Nast Traveler "researched, debated, and vetted, from a large pool of fantastic cities, regions, and countries with new reasons to visit" and ended up putting in third place, not surprisingly, the Cyclades.
As travel editor Ali Wunderman writes:
Is there anywhere more popular than the Greek islands right now? This past summer, the Cyclades—an island group that includes Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Milos, and Ios—dominated social-media feeds with beautiful blue and white backdrops, thrilling beach clubs and nightclubs, and unparalleled shopping.
With more smart stays being unveiled in 2024, as well as new flights, next summer is the time to make a Cyclades trip happen.
Etihad, British Airways, and Saudia added new routes to various Greek islands in 2023, plus the 2022 launch of Cycladic, the first inter-island airline, means it’s easier than ever to get there. Hotel business is booming.
Santo Pure in Oia on Santorini has just added 20 new suites, and next year it will be joined by sister hotel Santo Mine, a 37-suite luxury resort. Slick boutique hotel Kalesma on Mykonos will launch its spa for the 2024 season, including a hammam and cryotherapy area. Five-star, 80-acre Gundari Resort will open on Folegandros next May, while a new One&Only property will come to Kea in April.
Such plush hotels are rare on these islands, expanding the options for luxury stays in the Cyclades.
