Which one for whom?

Why Italy?

Rome, Florence, and Venice. Three cities are enough. The real question is which one you decide, together, to linger in.

Italy is the easiest home a group trip can have, and the plan that comes apart the fastest. You each arrive with a list: the Colosseum, a bridge, a gondola. The list is fine. Set the pace wrong and the city turns into a queue.

Why Greece?

Visiting Greece in the summer offers a wonderful experience, especially if you stay for at least four days and travel with a group of friends.

Greece is a country filled with historical riches and natural beauties. Visiting in the summer is an ideal time for sea, sun, and cultural explorations. Staying for at least four days provides enough time to explore historical sites and relax on the beach. This trip with your group of friends will allow you to create unforgettable memories.
