Greek term or phrase: πολυδιαφημισμένα-pejorative
Το κειμενάκι μου λεει ότι η τάδε περιοχή είθναι δαφορετική, μακριά από την καλσική εικόνα που παρουσιάζουν τα *πολυδιαφημισμένα* τουριστικά κέντρα.
Μου το παρέδωσαν ως εξής>
....far away from the “classic picture” presented by the famous tourist centres.
Δεν μου αρέσει έτσι, πρέπει να βρω κάτι πιο πιστό κια λιγάκι προς το αρνητικό...δεν θα λέγατε;;
Έχετε προτάσεις;;
Άντε, θενκς και καλή σας εβδομάδα

English translation:breaks away from the conventional image of the much-touted tourist spots
Explanation:
There are many possibilities. I suggest "much-touted" simply for the sake of variety. "over-promoted" is good too.

πολυδιαφημισμένα-pejorative
over-promoted


Explanation:
ΧΧΧ differs to a great extent from the typical concept/picture of over-promoted tourist resorts.

Η λέξη "μακριά" δεν σημαίνει το ίδιο πράγμα στα Αγγλικά, όπως στα Ελληνικά. Το ίδιο και η λέξη "κλασικός". Το ίδιο και η λέξη "κέντρο". Θα πρότεινα να αλλάξεις ολόκληρη την πρόταση για να ρέει, σαν να έχει γραφτεί απ' ευθείας στα Αγγλικά.

Το ζητούμενο εδώ, όπως βγαίνει κι απ’ τη επόμενη η ερώτηση, είναι η διάκριση ενός τόπου που προσφέρει κάτι διαφορετικό από τα προβεβλημένα, κοσμικά και κοσμοβριθή τουριστικά κάντρα.
