vacation abroad
In all perhaps Spain, Portugal, Turkey or Egypt is hovering in my mind.
Mayorca is possible but Im not sure being an indian how fast i can get the
visa doneas we are in august already .
That is why im also thinking of Turkey..
I love Turkey and highly recommend it for a great, relaxing holiday. I've
always gone to the area near Antalya -- if you go near Kemer, there are
mountains (that change color over the course of the day), pine trees and
sea. (The other direction, to the east of Antalya, is flatter and less
attractive, although the beaches are wider.) There are magnificent ancient
ruins and sights all over the place. The diving is decent (tho not anywhere
as good as the Red Sea). The food is excellent (Turks have a profound
understanding of vegetables), the shopping is fabulous, and the people are
very friendly and warm. If you go a reputable tour agency (check out the
ones recommended by the Turkish Embassy), and go high-end, the
accommodations are lovely. It's not hard to rent a car, and there are plenty
of day trips you can make. I haven't been to the area around Bodrum
(although the diving is supposed to be better there); I think it is flossier
and more expensive.
I also love Egypt (diving! diving!), but it's really, really, really hot in
August.
You know you'll have to report back to the list:)
