Greece also holds a special place on the list, with a destination that hides an impressive world beneath its blue waters - and promises an experience that's hard to forget.
The Aegean among Lonely Planet's top destinations for 2027
This time Lonely Planet didn't single out a specific Greek island, but the entire Aegean as a destination ideal for diving to shipwrecks and underwater caves. The Greek islands and the coasts serve as the starting point for exploring an impressive world beneath the surface of the sea, where centuries-old shipwrecks and spectacular underwater caves lie hidden. As the guide points out, every shoreline tells its own story, connecting Greece's past with the Aegean's marine life.
