I queried the search function and had no replies so in an effort to streamline my own search, I thought I would ask you all.
I am looking to travel to a western italy coastal resort within easy travel distance from southern France with a return flight to US from Milan. (Nothing booked yet so any option is open). Travel would be in mid October 2024. While looking up some Italian hotel websites i my search area, I can't see availability but am not sure if that is because the resorts are closed for the season or that they do not book out that far. I am thinking of the area near or around the northern borders of the CT but am open to other areas and/or islands. Any suggestions?
My sister and I will be ending a France river cruise in Nice (or environs) on a southbound trip. Our trip (right now) actually starts in the UK and ends in Italy. We plan on the end of Sept to mid-Oct 2024. All plans are subject to finalizing our river cruise itinerary but those dates are a loose approximation.
My other question is more general. My sis has never been to Paris. I was there 40 yrs ago. We do plan on spending some time in Paris pre-cruise but should we consider going back to Paris and fly out of there and skip Italy?
I am a cafe culture kind of person, my sister is the social butterfly. She loves the ocean and any type of location near water. I am a history buff and like museums. I could spend hours on a park bench reading and people watching. She, not so much.
We are both retired so the timing is quite flexible. We are looking at 3-4 weeks.
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. I should probably also post this in the General Europe category, yes?
Thanks in advance.
