Never go to a place because it's popular, if you wouldn't go there if nobody else was there, you probably won't enjoy it when other people are there.

If you have a deep and strong interest in a place or a thing, it's great to visit no matter what. Low season might be better

I took a trip to Cleveland and Cedar Point for an extended weekend and found it to be alright.

Cedar Point is an easy concession ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Egypt is great for diving. The nature on the Sinai peninsula is at least interesting, if not gorgeous in places. Political instability and the general culture do mean that you can have a bad time there, especially as a woman.

Egypt is the kind of country where I want to see things in it, but I kind of want to get the sanitized experience if I go there.

Too many tourist traps. It's annoying.

[โ€“] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 3 days ago

What kind of tourist traps?

Santorini is really nice, but my god it's hard to dodge the stupid orange duck-faced bints stopping to take selfies for the 'Gram every ten seconds

I absolutely loved Rhodes and am so so so eager to return. Would love to visit Lesbos and Milos too.

Agree on Santorini, and Mykonos, both lovely but very over toured.

Iโ€™m glad I went once, but agree and am ok with not going back. Milos is 1000x better imo.

I wasn't a big fan of Bermuda, but I feel like it was more to do with what I like to do when traveling.

Food was expensive and kind of bland. There wasn't that much to see or do other than relax by a body of water and drink.
