Reaching the 4th place, Madeira was surpassed by the Aeolian islands, Italy (1st place), Dalmatian, Croatia (2nd place) and Santorini, Greece (3rd place). Completing the top 5 were the islands of Cyclades, in Greece too.
Madeira has been accumulating awards and nominations in prestigious international journals. This is another recognition of the quality of this destination for holidays , which joins to other appointments, highlighting the recent election of Condé Nast Traveler magazine, who attributed to Madeira the sixth place in the ranking of top ten European islands.
