Travel Smart: Why Large Suitcases Are a Major Mistake for Your Greek Getaway

Travelers planning a trip to Greece or similar European destinations are being urged to reconsider the size of their luggage. A recent viral video highlights the significant challenges posed by large suitcases on cobblestone streets, numerous stairs, and ferry transfers. In the video, a travel content creator shares footage of tourists struggling with oversized bags in what is identified as Italy, noting that the same difficulties, if not more, apply to Greece. "Large suitcases are a big mistake," she states, emphasizing the need to navigate "ferries to contend with and the gangplanks and all the stairs in the very high villages." The advice underscores that while a large suitcase might seem convenient for extended trips, the practicalities of navigating ancient cities and island hopping can quickly turn it into a burden. Travelers are strongly encouraged to pack light to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable journey.
