Greece has been named the best country in the world for 2026 by Condé Nast Traveller, according to the publication's annual Readers' Choice Awards. The title was decided entirely by reader votes, meaning no editorial panel or algorithm picked the winner, just real travelers casting their preferences.
The votes came from UK-based readers of Condé Nast Traveller, one of the most widely read travel publications in the world. Their collective ranking placed Greece at the very top of a global list of destinations, above every other country on Earth.
The Readers' Choice Awards cover a broad range of travel categories each year, mapping out where readers most want to go and what experiences they value most. Greece finishing first overall means it outranked not just nearby Mediterranean competitors, but destinations across Asia, the Americas, and beyond.
Greece has long been a top destination for British tourists, consistently drawing millions of visitors annually to its islands, coastlines, and ancient sites. Being voted the outright best country in the world by this readership is a different level of recognition entirely.
No breakdown of the specific vote margins or runner-up countries was included in the available reporting, but the result stands as one of the most prominent international rankings Greece has received in recent years.
