Tourist-heavy areas often have overpriced restaurants that serve mediocre food. Falling into the trap of eating at these establishments can leave you disappointed and out of pocket.
How to avoid it: Venture a bit further from major attractions to find local eateries. Check reviews online or ask locals for recommendations. Look for restaurants filled with locals rather than tourists.
If there’s a common word that describes the hotels of the Greek islands, it’s 'epic'. The stereotype of a Greek island guest room is practically legendary: whitewashed walls, cave-like forms, and impossible views from cliffs overhanging the sea. It’s one of the better formulas you’ll find anywhere and, like the sirens of Greek mythology, it’s an irresistible scene that has attracted travelers for decades.
