Grand Resort Lagonissi on the Athenian Riviera has been recognised in one of the most competitive categories at the 2016 World Travel Awards, indicating that the Greek tourism industry is fast-becoming a world leader.
The five-star Grand Resort Lagonissi was voted Europe’s Leading Luxury Wedding Resort at the World Travel Awards 2016, one of the most prestigious accolades in the hospitality industry. The announcement was made at the 2016 Europe Gala Ceremony, held in Sardinia, Italy, on September 4.
Located on the seaside peninsula of the Athenian Riviera in Greece, Grand Resort Lagonissi held off stiff competition from around the world, including luxury resorts in Italy and Portugal, before being awarded with the title. The property has also been recognised as Europe’s Leading Meeting & Conference Centre at the World Travel Awards 2014.
“We are so proud to have been recognised as Europe’s best wedding resort at this year’s World Travel Awards,” said Nikos Tzimas, the resort’s general manager. “From all of us at Grand Resort Lagonissi, thank you for your continued contributions and support in making us one of the best hotels in the world!”
