Tourist "culture"

We're on the road again after a much needed rest day in Nafplio. Yesterday we had a short day of cycling and visited the ancient sites of Tiryns and Mycenea which were very impressive - Mycenea was spectacular. But in all that we were surrounded by what is both a blessing and a curse for Greece - massive tourism. I can't help but be increasingly cynical of tourists (I know, I am one also) that faceless, mindless mass, each person trying desperately to pretend that they are the only tourists in the whole country.
