"If you're wondering where you should visit next, you need to ask a professional. I consulted with Ovation Network to find out which destinations the company is recommending for travel in 2023." writes Christopher Elliott for Forbes.
"After a year of unprecedented demand for travel, our travel advisors are recommending destinations that are new alternatives to old classics," says Sunil Mahtani, executive vice president of Ovation Network. "They're places you can celebrate, reconnect and curate lasting memories."
'Why visit? A Greek Island that has been famous among Greeks for decades, Paros’ landscape fascinates with its undulating hills dotted with private chapels, as well as fertile valleys, golden coasts and picturesque whitewashed villages.'
