Overview

• An Avis analysis of online search volume and hashtags places Lesbos first in current island trends, followed by Porto Santo and Symi.
• The reported list signals rising interest rather than confirmed shifts in travel patterns or tourist arrivals.
• Crete remains a heavyweight destination with more than one million visitors in 2023, and popular sites like Elafonissi experience heavy crowds.
