Europe Trip 2013

Posted in Canada forum 13 Feb 2012, 00:38

I am planning a trip with my children in 2013.

We are planning on going to Ireland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom.

We are very excited about this trip and would love to hear anyones advice on where to stay or things to see. We are also looking at places to rent for a week in each place.

I also welcome friends to add me so that we may make friends to meet once we are in Europe.

    As time goes by we are slowly defining our trip to Europe and we have decided we will not visit Spain but visit Greece instead. Where do you recommend staying and places we should visit? Are there any good tours that we should look into while visiting Greece that you would recommend?

    Nice to hear that JoJo! It depends though on the time of the year that you want to come! would it be summer or winter? I can reccomend you many places worth going. If it is summer, the islands that Greece has are worth traveling! However that depends on you; where you want to go, what do you want to see etc. Don't hasitate to send me, we can be in touch! It would be a pleasure to meet you also :)

    Hello!!!

    It really depends on what you want to do while in Greece. There are the party islands - Mykonos, Paros, but since you said you are going on a family trip I don't think that's what you are looking for :)

    I agree about Santorini, because it is a beautiful place, but since it has grown very popular the past few years it is possible that the prices are higher and it is a bit too crowded.

    I can recommend you Rhodes, because I have recently been researching "less popular" Greek islands... If you are interested in historical heritage, I think you might enjoy it :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes

    Thank you very much for the information you provided and yes this is exactly the kind of information that I am looking for. I will definately be looking into Rhodes Island.

    It would be very nice to keep in touch with you also and perhaps one day meet when we are visiting in your area.

    We plan on taking our trip through the summer months July and August of 2013 we may decide to stay a little of September as well depending on how long our expenses last.
