Looking for recommendations
Fellow loungers, I’m looking for recommendations for a last minute trip for Christmas into the New Year, preferably Europe. Greece is enticing. Any suggestions? TIA

Athens
The National Archeological Museum has amazing exhibits and was not crowded. Go to the Parthenon early in the day before the cruise ships arrive. Food is amazing. Try lamb and rooster.
Meteorae
We wish we had spent more time there. Truly unique and very interesting.
Islands
We visited Santorini- it was hot and crowded. Beautiful but we would not go back. We stayed a few days on Tinos and Naxos. Small islands that are more laid back and peaceful.
If we went back, we would definitely visit Crete.

But we are interested in Karpathos. Have you been?

Definitely the type of place we would love.

maybe a river cruise in Europe? Lots of fun over the holidays in Europe.

Since neither one of us have been before; however, based on the recommendations from other Loungers, I’m looking into Austria and Switzerland as neither of us have been there either! I’ll post pics of our final destination!!!
Thank you everyone!!!
Happy Holidays to all,
Elliot

for Mediterranean climate. Sweden or Finland to be in complete darkness but everyone speaks english and there will be zero tourists.
