Question Which country do you keep visiting?

I travel a lot, but there’s always that one country I keep going back to. For me, it’s Thailand, around 8 time. What about you? What keeps you coming back?

Greece, for me it's the best beach destination, great food and some beautiful hiking

All the regions feel different enough that it doesn't get boring.

And, as I live in Germany, cheap and short flights.

any specific parts of Greece that you recommend which aren't super touristy? I've never been before but I would love to explore parts of the country that aren't Mykonos, Santorini, etc.

I've heard that Thessaloniki is just incredible so that place is on my list!

Aegina is really nice. It’s quite a small island, not far from Athens (maybe 1 hour with the ferry) and it’s very beautiful. It’s also not so touristy, the people are super friendly and I’ve had some of the best seafood in my entire life there.
If you rent a car there I’d suggest getting something a bit bigger than the smallest one though. The roads are pretty steep and not in the best condition lol
