“Winning beaches this year promise a dream holiday“I send the Tripadvisor representatives, who made a top of the best beaches in the world. The “Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best” awards celebrate the highest level of excellence on travel. And these are offered to those who receive the most reviews and opinions over a period of 12 months. The travel review platform has made several tops, including one with the best 25 beaches globally. Also, rankings are also made at the level of continents or various regional tops with the most beautiful beaches.
“This year’s tops cover six continents and 50 countries, gathering over 100 of the world’s most beautiful beaches”, Said Kristen Dalton, President Tripadvisor, according to CNN.
According to Tripadvisor the most beautiful beach in the world is the Elafonissi beach on the Greek island Crete.
Known for the pink sand and its clear and hot waters, this beach located on the southwest coast of the island can be ideally visited in May and September, when tourists can enjoy peace before and after the tip of the summer season. Elafonissi beach returns to the tripadvisor top for the first time in 2021.
On the 2nd place of the standings are Banana Beach in Phuket, Thailand, which is ideal for boat and parasailing walks, and divers and snorkeling enthusiasts will discover color coral reefs and exotic fish. Eagle Beach from Oranjestad, Aruba, ranks 3rd, being appreciated for his white sand, quiet waters and aquatic activities.
