Zante named top 2012 destination for Brits

Zante has been named the top destination for British holidaymakers for the coming 12 months.

Holiday company Cosmos put the Greek island at the top of the list as it predicted the most popular resort for Brits in 2012. Zante beat off competition from other favourites such as Florida, Tenerife and Majorca.

The island was commended for its "idyllic fishing villages" and "neon-lit resorts for party goers" as well as the "wonderful scenery". Whilst many teenagers head for the tropics of fellow Greek paradise Malia, Zante is becoming increasingly popular for young and old alike.

Many holidaymakers are now looking further afield than the traditional French and Spanish vacations as more people get adventurous on their travels.

A recent poll by the Wanderlust Readers' Travel Awards named countries such as Sudan, Greenland and Mongolia as the top "up-and-coming" regions to visit if a holidaymaker is looking for something different in a getaway.
