When planning a family holiday, travelers often seek a balance between relaxation and adventure, culture and comfort — and now the perfect destination has been named: Greece has officially been recognized as the world’s best family destination.
At the prestigious Travel Bulletin Star Awards 2025, Greece won the title of “Best Family Destination”, surpassing strong contenders like Spain, Cyprus, Portugal, Majorca, and Turkey.
Judges praised Greece for its ability to combine rich culture, stunning landscapes, delicious cuisine, and family-friendly hospitality.
Why Greece Stands Out
With over 30 million visitors last year, Greece remains one of Europe’s most beloved travel destinations.
Islands such as Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, and Santorini are especially popular among families for their crystal-clear beaches, child-friendly resorts, and cultural attractions.
According to Travel and Tour World, Greece’s strength lies in its adaptability — the country consistently delivers safe, affordable, and inspiring experiences that appeal to families worldwide.
Recently, Greece was also named “Best Short-Haul Destination” by the Food and Travel Reader Awards 2025, reinforcing its reputation as a year-round, high-quality travel destination.
For the Perfect Family Getaway
Whether you choose Athens with its iconic Acropolis or a seaside resort along the Aegean coast, Greece promises the ideal mix of history, sunshine, and warm Mediterranean hospitality — truly deserving its title as the world’s best family destination.
