My husband and I are planning a trip to Italy, Greece, and Turkey. We are in our late 20's and are up for some adventure, sightseeing, and fun. I have been to Europe twice before, but only for week long trips to London, Paris, and Amsterdam, so never on an a more extensive trip like we are planning. We have a preliminary itinerary planned and I am hoping other people that have traveled to these countries can give me any input they might have. Thanks in advance!
