It’s topic number one for love songs – a broken heart and breaking up that’s hard to do but it happens – and when it does, people seeking solace and recovery can find it in Greece, which topped a travel website list of places to travel after it happens.
When there’s a breakup, the site Travel and Leisure said Greece is the best place to visit to get over it to get it off your mind, get away from a daily routine that might be a reminder of being heartsick and have a positive life experience.

To find the top spots, the team made a seed list of destinations and then used data from Tripadvisor, World Population Review, Worldometers, and World Travel Index to evaluate each spot and make the picks.
Those were evaluated on its wellness amenities, available classes and workshops, access to nature, cultural tours, shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and its affordability, friendliness, and safety as getting better barometers.
The results showed that Greece “excels in wellness amenities (9.3 per 100,000 residents), classes and workshops (1.3 per 100,000 residents), and retail shops (27.5 per square kilometer) and has some of the best beaches in the world.
Portugal came in a close second thanks to its bountiful wellness amenities, access to nature, and its high number of cultural tours, followed by Singapore by Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, Japan, and Australia.
“Traveling after a breakup can be one of the most therapeutic ways to find solace and regain a sense of self. These findings underscore the vast opportunities the world offers for healing and new beginnings,” Yulia Saf, the CEO and founder of Miss Tourist, shared in a statement provided to Travel + Leisure.
“The world is full of experiences waiting to rejuvenate the heart and mind, from the culinary delights of Italy to the tranquil natural scenery of Switzerland. Let these destinations inspire you to take that first step towards healing and self-discovery,” was the advice but they left out Greek food and ouzo.
