Despite overtourism taking over parts of Spain, France and Italy, there are still many places where package holidays and weekend getaways have yet to catch on.

'Smart' holidaymakers are increasingly casting their nets in search of pristine sand or empty monuments, eschewing the usual destinations in favour of lesser-known places such as Albania and Slovenia.
