In late July 2026, the Global Beach Index placed three Greek beaches—Laffoni, Falasarna and Balos—among the world’s 25 best, highlighting their water quality, visitor ratings and seasonal appeal. A separate survey also noted the Ionian beaches Fteri and Voutoumi for their seclusion and natural beauty.

A week later, the World’s 50 Best Beaches ranked Greece’s Fteri Beach as the second‑best beach worldwide, underscoring its striking limestone cliffs and limited access. The same report also mentioned Cyprus’s Nissi Beach as the second‑best in Europe, but the focus remained on Greece’s continued ascent in international beach rankings.
