The European Best Destination Competition is an event organized by the European organization “European Best Destinations” aiming to promote Europe in an audience of over 3 million visitors, media representatives and professionals in the tourism industry. The Organization has been working with almost 355 members and the competition is running for its 7th year, inviting visitors to select their European destination of preference.
For the second year running, Athens has been chosen to participate in the competition. The section of the competition, dedicated to the city, describes some of the city’s best features, while listing important sites, trending hotels and top things to do. Last year, with the participation of representatives from Tourism Offices, community managers of social networks and 244.696 voters, the city reached the 3rd position.
