YOUR DESTINATION, IN CONTEXT
Greece has a published GLD Country Score of 74/100, in the High range.
Greece combines recent legal progress with uneven social experience and a tourism geography split between mainland cities and highly seasonal islands. Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos and other destinations should be read individually rather than through a single resort image.
