A captivating and revamped world map has unveiled the top European holiday destinations that are most sought after on a global scale. Surprisingly, the number one spot goes to the picturesque Greek island of Santorini, followed by the Mediterranean paradise of Ibiza in second place, and the Spanish Canary Island of Tenerife in third place.
This remarkable map, generated using data from Google searches, includes country names supplemented with their residents’ most popular European holiday spots. Researchers analyzed 12 months’ worth of Google data from 185 countries to determine which EU destinations were the most frequently searched using terms like “destination + holiday” or “destination + vacation”.
Santorini takes the lead as the most popular European destination in a whopping 47 countries worldwide, including the United States, Finland, Colombia, Bolivia, India, Australia, and New Zealand. According to CV Villas, Santorini’s charm lies in its breathtaking sunsets, warm climate, and stunning scenery, making it an unsurprising must-visit hotspot.
Ibiza secures the second position, with a total of 29 countries, including Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Kenya, Mexico, Jamaica, and Portugal, showing a preference for this enchanting island over any other European destination. CV Villas describes Ibiza as a well-loved tourist destination due to its scorching summer weather, exotic landscapes, and stunning beaches.
Tenerife claims the third spot and is praised by CV Villas for offering a plethora of attractions for tourists to explore, including the famous Mount Teide volcano. Visitors to Tenerife can enjoy incredible views of the island, the largest of the Canary Islands. CV Villas emphasizes that Tenerife is an excellent winter holiday destination, with average high temperatures of 20°C during the colder months.
This Spanish gem is also the number one European getaway choice for 12 European countries, such as Spain, the UK, Germany, and Belgium. Sicily and Corfu secure the fourth and fifth positions, respectively, while other Greek destinations like Kos, Mykonos, and Crete make appearances in the top ten.
