Summer Vacation

[catmanjack]

Trying to decide on a summer vacation of either Italy or Greece.
Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
I was thinking Italy myself but the woman has Greece on her mind now.
Will just be the two of us and will be there 8-10 days.

Sounds like you are going to Greece :)

I've always wanted to do something like this, but I doubt I will get the wife on board.

This will be part of our honeymoon, possibly marry there and enjoy our time.

What a choice! Rome is kind of romantic I hear and the sights are plentiful. Then again, Greece is the one European country on my bucket list

Crete..

I've got about a million pics from my daughter, who is "studying" in Greece right now with her school. Not knowing anything other than those pics, that's where I'd go.

(I would've said Italy otherwise).

I work with a guy that has literally traveled the world. I'll try to get his opinion next week if that is not too late.

Thanks and really appreciate the help!

Italy was my choice also just the thought of the Italian cities but I am getting the vibe Greece might be the choice.
Would enjoy seeing the photos if you ever get to share.

I was not impressed with Rome. Too much crime and beggars. Not been to Greece. Had plans a fews years back but political issues put the nix on it. Am considering it again though as it appears safe

We are planning now our summer. Son and his GF want us to take them to central Costa Rica. Other option is Iceland, or poss Spain/Portugal.

Going to visit with my daughter tomorrow who just returned from Greece. I'll try to remember to post pics. I can post a bunch that she and her friends posted on Facebook easy enough, but I won't necessarily have the back stories for all.

My coworker said Italy. But said both are great choices. Note that he tends to see the positives in all places. He actually suggested a cruise as I did. Surprises me as he is not a big cruise guy. He said there is a 7 day cruise in that area that he has done and would do again.

Mrs. BEvans and I were strongly considering a Rick Steves 9 day tour of Rome, Tuscany, the Cinque Terre and Florence:

Ultimately we decided I'm probably not quite physically ready to take on a tour of that type yet, but I think we'll do it in the future.

We have friends who went to Athens and Santorini last September and they thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't think you can go wrong either way.
