These 10 Destinations Will Be Totally Trending In 2017

Flight search aggregator Skyscanner has crunched the numbers from millions of flight searches over the past few years and found what’s trending with Aussie travellers.

The crowned champ is the gem of the Aegean Sea and a well-known Greek must-do, Santorini. Santorini is the kind of place that elicits a resounding sigh from anyone who mentions it. It’s picture perfect Greece with its white-washed architecture, steep cliffs littered with houses, and deep blue sea – it’s no surprise to find this on tops of the list. Over the past three years, flight bookings to Santorini have increased by an enormous average of 45 percent.
