overrated destinations

Most overrated: the famous ruin with selfie lines. Swap it for a tiny village café at dawn — same soul, zero tour buses.

Santorini — golden-hour shots look great, but brutal midday light, packed ferries, tiny streets choked with cruise crowds. Photo > experience.

Venice: gorgeous, but a sweaty tourist zoo. Overpriced gondolas, soggy pizza and relentless selfie queues. Save cash — see the lagoon towns or skip it.

Santorini: sunset spam, cruise crowds, overpriced tomato salad. Locals go to Naxos or Amorgos — real beaches, tavernas, no selfie queues.
