I arrived in Greece with sky-high expectations. I left disappointed and wishing I'd avoided these 5 mistakes.
My first trip to Greece wasn't what I expected. Next time, I'd skip Santorini and Mykonos, skip a cruise, and avoid other travel planning mistakes.
The author visited Greece on a cruise and left feeling disappointed, after which they reflected on the mistakes made during their trip. First, they booked a cruise instead of staying on-site, which limited their ability to fully explore the area. This was compounded by the large number of passengers on the ship and the limited space on the island, resulting in long wait times to reach desired destinations.
Next, the author only planned their trip around popular islands such as Santorini and Mykonos, which led to a rushed experience and a lack of time to truly appreciate the beauty and culture of the region. Lastly, the author missed out on planning their itinerary for Athens, resulting in a day of wandering and getting lost in the historic city, rather than focusing on the iconic sites and landmarks.
The author suggests avoiding cruise travel in Greece, focusing on smaller, less touristy islands, and planning ahead to make the most of their time in Athens.
