Crete will be the most coveted European region in 2023. This designation is reinforced by the Cretan offer in terms of nature and well-being stays. The Mediterranean island is indeed very popular with hikers, who set off on a five to seven hour journey through the Samaria Gorge, the longest in Europe. Internationally, Crete is second only to Bali according to the data company which has analyzed more than 700 destinations worldwide.
The Algarve is an attractive option due to affordable hotel prices: 86.39 euros per night in the first quarter of 2023.
The France completes the top five with the Corse (5th) but especially the Brittany (4th), in line with the rise of the destination with the French. Last summer, the country of the menhirs had recorded the strongest evolution of the frequentation among all the hexagonal regions. Brittany had then recorded nearly 22 million overnight stays (+7.2% compared to 2019) between April and September according to INSEE. With the scorching summer, Brittany had offered its holidaymakers ideal weather without oppressive heat and an ideal temperature in the water.
In terms of European regions that offer another reading of holidays, between countryside and mild temperatures, the Wales takes a surprising sixth place in this analysis.
