Where to stay in Venice area by area

The Mediterranean coastline in southwest Türkiye (the preferred name of Turkey) has long been a vacation paradise — and if the crossroads of beach and luxury with some international travel added in sounds appealing then start planning your next trip to Kaya Palazzo Golf Resort Belek.

Travel has gotten weird. First, nobody did it for a couple of years. Then everybody did it at once and airports fell apart. “Revenge travel,” became a thing. Airports mostly figured out how to keep track of luggage, and people kept going places—too often the same ones. Major cities across Europe have enacted anti-tourism policies.

Venice has long been teetering in a delicate state, suffering the impact of over-tourism exacerbated by the effects of climate change. While the Italian city has desperately been installing measures to curb its list of growing issues, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is not satisfied with its progress, recommending that the city and its lagoon be put on its World Heritage in Danger list of sites that are “threatened by serious and specific dangers.”

As Venice continues to struggle with mass tourism, and post-pandemic numbers show no sign of decreasing, Unesco has sounded another warning bell.

Venice is so congested that it has become the embodiment of overtourism. Each year millions of tourists flock to this small city, home to a dwindling local population of 50,000, and the hordes in St. Mark’s Square are legendary.

The city offers plenty of fascinating attractions spared from the congestion, in fact, some of them could use more visitors. Here are some ways travelers can minimize the inconveniences even while visiting the most popular sites.

On Monday, the UN's cultural organization UNESCO recommended that Venice, Italy, be added to the organization's list of world heritage in danger, AFP reported. 

The sights, the sounds, the smells… Marrakech is swirling with enough sensory treats to pull you in and never let go. Between the bustling, motorcycle-flooded Medina market to the handfuls of relaxing spas and riads, here’s where to go for an equally thrilling and relaxing vacation.

When you think of a culinary-fuelled trip in Tokyo, what comes to mind? Sushi from Masuda? Ramen from Fu-unji? Maybe. And while we don’t recommend skipping the classics, it’s your moral imperative to make some space for a new wave of Japanese fare: Neapolitan-style pizza.

One of the oldest cities in Italy, Naples has many amazing museums and a wonderful local food culture. It is, after all, where pizza was invented. But while Naples has been a tourist attraction for centuries, it has also gained a reputation as a slightly seedy and possibly dangerous place. Here’s what to watch out for. [viator_tour destination
