Is it even worth going to Greece anymore? I don't want to be part of the 6000+ human tsunami that supposedly descends on these places. Wall to wall people is not my idea of a good time under any circumstances. I _can_ stand the heat. But my translucent Canadian/Scottish complexion makes direct sun very undesirable. Even _with_ sunblock.
Yeah, I hear you about crowds. Our schedule limited us to summer, so there you go. If we had more time, exploring the smaller islands might have been better. Our ideal time to visit is closer to shoulder season, around October. Much less crowds and cooler weather. At the moment, we're part of the invading herd. And it was hot! I wear that silly duck bill hat for a reason- it saves me! I would say Greece is such a rich and important destination, it's worth going to - on the off season if you can manage it.
@@ThePortLowdown Thank you for your reply. I'm retired and my wife can vacation whenever she wants. So on your advise, we will be looking at the off seasons.
Thank you very much for sharing! Great video! Like 25

Great! And lucky you! I'd love to know how it all works for you. 👍👍
BTW, this lady's website has some good info too. Not cruise related, but pretty detailed about all things Greek
