National Geographic Ranks Greece

Thursday November 12, 2009

The scores are nothing to get particularly excited about but it's graded on a curve - even the top-rated Norwegian Fjords only achieved an 85. But tell me - are these the places you would have chosen? Where should National Geographic be looking next year?

I agree with the comments on Santorini Nat Geo, now too many tourists, beautiful island I love it but its time to have a cull by putting up prices a little bit.
