Thread: Athens or Venice? Help

I absolutely loved Venice. The neatest thing was being on the cruise ship coming in to port & passing St. Marks square. Yes, there has been alot of deterioration , but it's still an awesome city.
I'm sure which ever one you choose, you will have a fabulous time !!

My wife and I have visited all the area's. We would pick Venice, Monte Carlo and Ephesus. Ephesus is a once in a lifetime experience. Would go back to that area and spend more time. Make sure you take a walking tour in Venice and visit some of the backroads. You will be amazed.

1) Venice - pure magic

2) A push - you can get to either from the other

3) Ephesus

I think it really is a win/win choice!

Athens has so much history. If you studdied ancient history in school, you will find much of it right there. (Sorry for the italics. I don't know what I hit by mistake. I guess I keep hitting it because my writing is schizophrenic!!!)

As someone else said, Venice is magical. Personally, this would be my choice. There is only one Venice and it will touch your heart like no other city.

Monte Carlo has the palace, the changing of the guards, the Oceanographic museum and the famous casino. It is up on a hill and quite beautiful. If you choose it, you can also stop at Eze. I think it is the same bus line.

Nice has the Promenade des Anglais, a beautiful boardwalk along the coast. There is a great flower market in the AM, there is the old part of town and there are several wonderful museums in one of the suburbs. (It begins with an "S" and you can take a bus.

I supose Monte Carlo would be more glamorous!

I have never been to Ephesus or Croatia, so I can't comment.

Whatever you choose, you will love it!

Wish I were going! I would at the drop of a hat!

Or did it mention VENICE? It like comparing San Francisco (Venice) to Detroit( Athens). There is NO contest here.

Finally, someone with an opinion!

In a contest between what could be called one of the most historically important places on the face of the earth versus a place that has some really pretty canals, I have to definitely side with Athens. It's like comparing the Smithsonian to Disneyworld.

Now let's use a real contrast. How about Rome or Athens? Which one would win?


Me, I still love London.

ah Neal, thats to easy. ROME ofcourse

Okay, Lars, now for the big question. "Why?"
