Anon is a retard for going to the tourist fly traps, in greece you gotta travel a bit before you get to the real good stuff
That just sounds like Faliraki or some similar hellhole full of your own countrymen. Try going five minutes or so out of town.
I was in Faliraki a few years ago and it was really nice. I was there in late October though, so there were only like 20 other tourists in town and all the penny arcades and tourist shops were already closed.
I’ll never understand why people fly to the south in the middle of the summer, when the weather is nice here anyway.
Rented bikes in Mykonos in October, can confirm it’s nice and quiet, and the flights are dirt cheap.
waiter spits into plate and I thank him
Oh man, OP didn’t spit back. Water gonna get spilled
Your own fault for going to major tourist hot spots.
Goes to shittiest parts of country
Complains country is shitty
Can’t explain that.
be tourist
go to spots that specifically cater to tourists
it sucks
If you come to America for your vacation and go to Detroit, that’s your own fault.
That comparison doesn’t really fly, Detroit isn’t really a tourist hotspot. Florida would fit the bill better
That’s why I avoid vacations abroad like the plague. I absolutely loathe being around people, and people on vacation abroad tend to be the worst version of themselves. I’d much rather stay at home than deal with that.
Eh, you can do vacations and largely avoid people, if you do some research ahead of time.
For example, my SO and I visited their home country, and we avoided most of the tourist traps, and hit the one or two we wanted to see during off peak hours. In fact, our whole trip was right after the busy season, so we were able to have good weather w/o all the nonsense from tourists. We visited a national park out of state nearby my family at the start of the season (when weather is the most iffy), and we lucked out and had fantastic weather and almost no crowds (backup plan was to hang out with my family, and they ended up joining us).
The trick isn’t to avoid vacations abroad, the trick is to do them on your terms instead of whatever others expect. If you want to see France and hate crowds, don’t visit the Eiffel Tower or Versailles, go somewhere in the countryside and get a nice B&B and maybe time it w/ a local festival to enjoy local culture.
