“i’m looking for suggestions for my 30th in 3 years, I’d had my heart set on Egypt but have well and truly set myself off of it with the more honest reviews about pushy/aggressive people and tbh I’m just too “oh what could happen” to turn back to it.”source ↗
“Is it smart to fly to Chania and stay in small village near, or would it be smarter to put more money on plane tickets and fly to one of Greece’s islands?”source ↗
