    I’ve been wanting to visit Greece in the near future, so this isn’t encouraging news.

      I’ve been wanting to visit Greece in the near future, so this isn’t encouraging news.

      It’s a large country with tons of nice places to visit. The problem is that lots of tourists flock to only a few spots. You shouldn’t have any problem as long as you spread around a bit.

      Greece is a relatively large country though, it’s not a city-state by any means. Tourism can still be possible there without over-burdening the few islands that suffer under their name recognition.

      I see it as a win for the environment and ultimately if one gets to go it won’t be like Venice where is almost impossible to get a picture with a thousand people behind and in front of anything from 11am to 7pm.

      Just don’t visit in the main months. I was on San torini this year on April and it was super nice without so many people. Yes you couldn’t swim because it was too cold but that’s it. The experience otherwise is the same

      If it means, that there is less tourism overall, you might have to wait a bit longer. But on the flipside you actually get to see and enjoy the country, instead of being crowded with other tourists all the time.
