In addition to the tourist holidaymakers, there are must-see places in Greece that successfully defend themselves against mass tourism, thanks to which they manage to maintain authenticity and maintain local traditions. These include small, less accessible islands: the peaceful and unspoiled Alonissos, romantic Hydra , Ithaca , which is still watched over by the spirit of Homer, dotted with colorful villages of Karpathos , and Symi - the pearl of the Dodecanese. Here you will find peace, traditional architecture, unspoiled beaches and taverns with Greek delicacies. And all this in an unspoilt commercial release. If, on the other hand, you are interested in places off the beaten path on the mainland, be sure to go to Kavala, whose showpiece is the stunning Old Town.
