You many think of Greece as predominantly a sun, sea and sand destination, even if you like to soak up the culture too. But with its mild climate, history and beautiful landscape, Greece has a lot to offer all year round. It’s also taking great strides in sustainability, and by its very nature, its culture has some features that make it a hit with ecotourists.
“Organic produce markets and island seafood makes it an unintentional leader of the world’s most sustainable food,” explained Lonely Planet. This year, the travel platform has refocused its Best in Travel awards on “destinations that are making incredible contributions in the areas of sustainability, diversity and community,” and it named Greece as the Best Food Destination for 2021.
