Santorini has taken first place in the choice of Canadian travelers in the top category “Bucket List Destinations”, in the “Travelers’ Top Picks” awards of the company Air Canada Vacations.
“This recognition is proof of the incredible charm and beauty that Greece offers to travelers from all over the world”, the organizers note characteristically in their relevant announcement.
As they say, “Santorini offers postcard-perfect perfection with its whitewashed houses and blue domes soaring above volcanic rocks as the sun sets over the azure waters, painting the sky in vibrant hues.”
The awards, held to celebrate the airline’s 50th anniversary, allowed participants to vote for their favorite international destinations in 10 categories and share their personal travel experiences, while also winning cash prizes and other travel offers from the airline. “The awards invite everyone to shine a light on some of the world’s hidden gems and make them accessible and exciting for all Canadians,” said Nino Montagnese, vice president of Air Canada Vacations.
The official event took place yesterday, Thursday, September 18, 2025, in Toronto, and during it, the head of the Greek National Tourist Organization North America Service, Konstantinos Harokopos, had the opportunity to answer questions from the organizers regarding the uniqueness of Santorini and Greece in general as top destinations in the world.
The Greek award was received by Mr. Harokopos, in the presence of the Consul General of Greece in Toronto, Ioannis Chatzantonakis.
