Going to Greece for the first time, but want to avoid going to the more tourist trap type of places. Any recommendations to go/check out? Spending roughly 8 full days there.

In the islands, Paros is a good option, or Crete and getting away from Chania, since that’s touristy. Or stick to the mainland away from Athens (after visiting there for 2 days) - there are stunning places there like Nafplio (SW) and Thessaloniki (North).

Santorini is visually very neat but absolutely a tourist trap

Naxos is also quite touristy but it felt genuine and was by far my favorite

Meteora is absolutely touristy BUT breathtaking

Paros was dope, I’m actually debating on Mykonos but I’m not sure since I’m going alone 😂🤣. Don’t spend more than 24 hours in Athens and focus on the island you want to go to.

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
