Hi guys, it's been a while. Hope you're all doing well.
I know quite a few of you travel or have travelled internationally, so I thought I would ask you guys since I seem to be asking everyone I know.
I'm going to be traveling internationally for the first time this year. I'll be participating in an archaeological survey project for one month this summer in Turkey. I'll be flying in a week early to stay in Istanbul (By the way if you have suggestions about what I should see there, please suggest them)
So, since I'll be so close to Europe I figured I should take advantage and see another city. I've already looked into doing a multi city flight and if I add one European city to my flight package it's only about $300 more. Problem is I'm having trouble figuring out where I want to go (I'd love to visit every major city, but that's not feasible). My criteria are that 1) it be a major European city,2) that ability to explore areas beyond the city with relative if I want to, that I'm able to communicate at least somewhat in the language (I'm fluent in Greek and English, and am proficient in Italian and Spanish). I'm hoping to spend about 10 days in whichever city I chose around the beginning of August.
Any suggestions, advice, etc. are greatly appreciated
