The problem
Online tourism guides about Crete are either aggregators of copy-pasted content (TripAdvisor, Booking), French blogs dating from five years ago and never updated, or hotel sites disguised as guides. None offers live data (weather, opening hours, beach conditions), none covers the 22 languages of tourists actually arriving on the island, and all are loaded with ads and third-party tracking that ruin the experience.
The solution
Built an independent tourism guide with no ads, no tracking, no hidden affiliation. Automatic pipeline of translation and editorial content generation to 22 languages via LLMs, with human guardrails on quality. Live data integrated: weather by locality, upcoming events, local news, opening hours of natural sites. Architecture Next.js 16 with hourly static generation + ISR. 24,000+ pages served.
