Corfu, Greece
Score: 62

"Magnificent renaissance setting. Beautiful architecture. But the large numbers of visitors have alienated many residents. The island is gaining a reputation for rudeness and unpleasantness associated with large numbers of arrogantly-behaving northern Europeans."

"The Venetian architecture and cultural patrimony of Corfu's historical center was excellently restored and in beautiful shape. Some of Corfu's loveliest inlets and grottos were buzzing with water taxis sputtering fumes everywhere."

"Old town Kekyra is focused on hip and cosmopolitan. The ancient buildings lining tiny alleyways are crammed with tavernas, shops, and nightclubs—all of which are crammed with tourists. The focus is on dollars, not heritage."
