Rhodes was the most Googled travel city/island of 2023

Referring to Rhodes on the most Googled travel cities and islands of 2023 list, Conde Nast Traveler said the island is “pretty special” managing to “slowly build itself back up” after the devastating fires last year.

“The island has yet to fully recover, but the interest from travelers eager to support Rhodes is testament to the island’s beauty”, it said.

In efforts to restore tourism to Rhodes, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis offered on UK television to cover the cost of weeklong holidays for those affected by the destructive fires last summer.

Also on the list ranking 6^th is Cyprus.
