26-PAGE DIGITAL SAMPLE: magazine.natgeotraveller.co.uk/apr2025

With Greece’s whitewashed island villages and cerulean coves experiencing record-breaking visitor numbers, the April issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) invites readers to venture inland, where wild landscapes, alpine lakes and vertiginous mountains lend themselves to an entirely different experience.

According to the National Bank of Greece, the country drew an estimated 36 million travellers in 2024, with the island of Santorini attracting up to 19,000 arrivals per day during the summer months. While the popularity of the islands shows no sign of slowing, the mainland retains a sense of the untamed and undiscovered. This latest issue seeks to celebrate the sheer variety on offer throughout the peninsula, venturing from the isolated hiking trails of the Pindus Mountains to the beloved bakeries of Thessaloniki, a UNESCO City of Gastronomy.

Readers will also find a special Guatemala destination guide included with the April issue. Packed with inspiration, it threads together stories and experiences from across the Central American nation, from meeting the Maya artisans of Lake Atitlán to visiting the ancient ruins of Tikal.
