Back to newsGreece has been named one of Lonely Planet's Top 21 summer destinations, reinforcing the country's standing as one of Europe's most sought-after warm-weather travel choices. While the full ranking highlights Greece broadly, Crete consistently draws visitors for its combination of beaches, ancient ruins, mountain villages, and local cuisine. For tourists planning a summer trip, this recognition reflects strong international confidence in Greece as a travel destination. Visitors to Crete can expect well-developed tourist infrastructure across popular areas such as Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, and Agios Nikolaos. Booking accommodation and car rentals well in advance is advisable for peak summer travel, particularly July and August, when demand is highest across the island.
