10 Places To Visit But Where You Should Avoid Taking Pictures!

#8 – Santorini, Greece

If you are roaming through websites to book hotel rooms, you will probably see suggestions to go to Santorini. The iconic Greek island has become a touristic attraction due to the typical white and blue buildings, and everyone wants a picture – you don’t even need a caption to let people know where you are.

But this kind of gentrification is making it impossible for locals to live there, and it is something that we need to take into consideration – are all all-inclusive vacations being harmful to the people who live in the places we want to visit?

Architecturally speaking, this is also one of those beautiful places to see before you die, but when visiting, you need to keep in mind this is a place of faith.

Respect people’s religion, even if that means you will have to dress in a specific way to enter this temple. We all have different conceptions of the world, but if we all care enough to respect each other, the world will be a better place.

#10 – Holocaust Memorial, Berlin

World War II wasn’t even that long ago, and the holocaust is a part of the world’s collective memory that still speaks to us in a whole different level.

Going to a place that is supposed to be a memorial just “for leisure” is not fair to that collective memory and it is not fair to what the monument represents. If you want to go there to pay your respects, go. If you want to go there to take a selfie, stay at home.
