I arrived in Greece with sky-high expectations. I left disappointed and wishing I'd avoided these 5 mistakes.

Next time I go on a trip to Greece, I'd do a few things differently to have a better experience.

When one of my most anticipated trips turned out to be one of my most frustrating, it was entirely my own fault.I travel professionally for a living, but I still get caught up in excitement and unrealistic expectations when planning. Like many travelers, I'd been dreaming of Greece for years. I watched "Mamma Mia," scrolled through Instagram, and let the images build an idea of what the trip would be like.In the end, I left the country feeling disappointed and wishing I'd done a few things differently.Booking a cruise instead of staying on-site didn't give me much time to explore

It was a little overwhelming arriving in Santorini with so many other people at once via cruise ship.
