Back to newsA German travel outlet (Merkur) has highlighted a lesser-known Greek island as a destination worth visiting now, before rising tourism volumes change its character. The article positions it as an alternative to heavily visited spots like Santorini and Mykonos, appealing to travelers seeking quieter beaches, authentic local life, and more affordable options. No specific dates or events are mentioned. For visitors considering Crete as a base, the broader trend is relevant: eastern Crete in particular still offers villages and coastlines with significantly lower foot traffic than the popular north-coast resort strip. Travelers looking to avoid crowds are advised to book accommodation in smaller inland or coastal villages rather than established resort towns, and to visit shoulder season months such as May, June, or September for a more relaxed experience.
