I’ve always been partial to a Greek beach getaway and after years of exploring almost all of the country’s many, many sunny hubs I’ve become somewhat of an expert, too. I’ve seen everything from the white stone houses of Santorini to the (in my opinion, overhyped) beaches of Mykonos, but this summer, some of my …

As Europe grapples with overtourism and locals start turning hostile towards visitors across numerous destinations, it’s only natural if you’re wondering whether taking a Transatlantic trip in the fall is even worth the hassle.

Home to paradisiacal Mediterranean beaches and ancient cities with origins lost to time––some of the oldest known to mankind––Greece has been one of the most popular destinations for Americans this year, and this is likely to be the case still going into the fall.

Turquoise seas, balmy weather, softly biting pistachio gelato as you explore a cobbled town dating back to immemorial: there’s nothing quite like a Mediterranean summer. The only downside?

Could you imagine if Cancun went lights out for 50 years?! That’s what happened to a popular Mediterranean resort town back in its heyday. It’s true.

The Mediterranean may well be the hottest place to be this summer, both literally and figuratively, and we don’t know about you, but we’re not exactly keen on sharing a narrow strip of beach with hundreds, if not thousands of beachgoers, nor risk a heatstroke with the record temperatures to come.

Ibiza is known for its vibrant nightlife and diverse music scene, including performances by famous DJs like David Guetta and rows upon rows of upscale holiday villas and high life, but in all fairness, I didn’t love it all that much.
