If you're planning a Greek vacation, it's a pretty good bet that you're going to be visiting Santorini. In 2023, there were 3.4 million visitors to the small island with a population of only around 20,000. Cruise ships bring in around 17,000 passengers a day to Santorini. That means, if you want to see the famous Santorini sunset from the town of Oia, you're going to be packed in with tons of other people (as you can see in the pic below), and even worse, you could be waiting hours to get a ferry from the ship and more time to take a chair lift to the city. It's gotten bad enough on Santorini with overcrowding from cruise ships that some cruise lines are canceling planned stops, meaning that, even if you've booked a cruise there, you still might not see it.

This Is Arguably The Worst Way To Visit The Iconic Greek Island Of Santorini

Travelers headed to the Hawaiian islands, particularly Oahu, who plan on driving should heed this Hawaiian heads-up: Driving and parking your vehicle around the island can get very tricky. It's understandable that tourists grab rental cars to explore Oahu since there are so many things to do there beyond Waikiki Beach, but adventure by rental car is best had when prepared for local driving and parking conditions. The biggest surprise for Hawaiian tourists renting cars is that most meters, even those close to or in larger towns, still only accept coins. While "smart meters" that accept credit cards are being rolled out in downtown Honolulu, parking meters around Oahu and other islands largely remain coin only.
