A Night Celebrating the Future of Travel
There’s something about a night at the Megaron Mousikis in Athens, a quiet sense that big ideas are about to be celebrated.
On April 28th, that feeling turned into a full celebration of innovation, creativity, and forward-thinking tourism during the Tourism Awards 2026.
And yes, Istion Yachting team was right there in the spotlight.
The Tourism Awards marked their 13th consecutive year, spotlighting initiatives that reshape the travel experience in Greece.
This year’s edition placed a strong emphasis on:
Sustainability as a necessity, not a trend
Authentic, place-driven experiences
Innovation with purpose
With the Greek National Tourism Organisation and Association of Greek Tourism Enterprises supporting the event, the message was clear: the future of Greek tourism belongs to those who build with intention.
Five Awards. One Clear Direction.
This year, Istion proudly secured five distinctions, reflecting a consistent commitment to creating meaningful experiences at sea:
🥇 2 Gold Awards
Sea: Yachts, Sailing & Diving
Adventures Activities Experience🥈 1 Silver Award
Hotel, Resort, Villas & Yacht Development Management & Consulting🥉 2 Bronze Awards
Sports & Adventures
Sea Sailing Experience
A collection that doesn’t just sit nicely on a shelf, it tells a story.
A story of evolving experiences, refined services, and a deep understanding of what modern travelers seek.
More Than Awards
Recognition is always welcome but what matters more is what it represents.
These awards reflect the people behind Istion. The crews, the planners, the thinkers, the ones who turn a sailing week into something unforgettable.
And while the industry continues to evolve, towards sustainability, authenticity, and deeper connections, we’re already there, sails set.
Looking Ahead
If 2026 is any indication, the horizon is wide open.
New ideas. New routes. New ways to experience the sea.
And we’re just getting started.
