There is nothing wrong with visiting some of the world’s most popular destinations such as France, Italy, Spain or Thailand. They sit at the top of travel wish lists for good reason. But over tourism is now a reality in many of these places, and if crowds are not your thing, the experience can leave you feeling frustrated and frazzled rather than inspired.

Some of the most rewarding trips happen in lesser visited countries which receive far less attention. Looking beyond the usual hotspots often means fewer queues, better value, and the simple pleasure of standing in front of a landmark without weaving through a wall of selfie sticks.

From the turquoise shores of the Balkans to the mountains of the Caucasus and the vast landscapes of the Arabian Peninsula, there are countries delivering dramatic scenery and depth without the noise. Feet Do Travel shares three underrated destinations that may surprise you — and deliver far more than expected.
