International Travel Awards in Greece

190 nominations and 103 recorded winners between 2018 and 2026 — the full Greece participation record, its categories, sectors and winners.

Greece and the International Travel Awards

Hotels, resorts, travel companies and tourism businesses based in Greece have recorded 190 nominations in the International Travel Awards between 2018 and 2026, across 9 award years. 103 of those entries went on to be recorded as winners — roughly 54 in every 100 nominations received from the country.

Participation is concentrated in Hotels & Resorts (120 nominations) and Travel & Tourism (48), which together account for the large majority of Greece entries on record. Across the nine editions the awards team has recorded 95 distinct award categories against Greece nominations, reflecting how finely the programme segments hotel, resort and travel-operator recognition rather than a single national prize.

The record below is published directly from the awards system. It is a participation history, not a ranking: entries are listed because they were nominated or recorded as winners in a given year, and no position, score or rating is implied.

Nominate a Greece hospitality business

Nominations are open to hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, travel agencies, tour operators, destination management companies and other tourism businesses operating in Greece. A nomination may be submitted by the organisation itself or on its behalf.

  • Choose the category that matches what the business actually does — 95 categories appear against Greece entries in the records.
  • Entries are assessed per award year; the current year on record is 2026.
  • Fee and cost information is published on the fee / cost page.
  • The assessment route is described on the judging process page.

Nominate Now

What participation offers

  • Consideration in an international awards programme rather than a single-market listing.
  • A published winner record, carrying the category and award year, for confirmed winners.
  • Inclusion in the public winner directory, which is indexed and linkable.
  • Industry visibility alongside other recognised hospitality and travel organisations.
  • Gala participation opportunities where applicable to the award year.

Participation does not guarantee a win, media coverage, search ranking or commercial outcome, and nothing on this page should be read as implying otherwise.

How the selection process works

A nomination is submitted for a specific category and award year. Entries are reviewed by the awards team, assessed, and winners are then confirmed and recorded against that year. Once a winning category is recorded against an entry, that entry becomes part of the published winner record — which is exactly the data this page counts. An organisation can hold records in more than one category or year, and each is assessed separately.

The published process, including who assesses entries and how outcomes are confirmed, is set out in full on the judging process page. Fee information is kept separately on the fee / cost page so that neither page restates the other.

Greece nomination questions

Fee and cost information is published in full on the fee / cost page. Figures are not reproduced here so that the published page stays the single source of truth.

Can a Greece business enter more than one category?

Yes. The records include organisations that hold entries in several categories, and in several award years. Each entry is assessed on its own merits.

About the Greece award data

Every nomination and winner figure on this page is generated from the official International Travel Awards / Golden Tree Awards records, read at build time from the awards system's public data endpoints. Nothing is entered by hand and no figure is carried over from a previous version of this page.

  • Data last updated: 20 September 2026
  • Period represented: 2018–2026 (9 award years)
  • What counts as a winner: an entry with a winning category recorded against it for a specific award year — not payment, attendance or nomination alone.
  • Known gap: city-level data is not recorded against Greece entries in the awards system, so this page reports by year, sector and category only and does not break participation down by emirate.
  • Corrections: listed organisations can request a correction via the contact page; changes are made in the awards system and appear here at the next rebuild.
