I wholeheartedly agree with you assessment on Venice as well as your aversion to overcrowded tourist areas. I’m at the place of seeking out lesser known/visited places to avoid the crowds there for “instagram” moments, as well as port cities that are frequented by hoards of cruise ships.

I’m glad that I visited Venice once, before the recent tourist explosion, but I will probably never return. There are plenty of other beautiful and culturally rich places in Italy without the crowds that I am exploring when I travel there.
