We’ve decided to go to Skopelos for 2 weeks at the end of April. What kind of weather should we expect? Any special things to know about this remote island? Thanks for your tips

hi there we’re planning a trip to the three Baltic countries: Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. What’s making us hesitate is the weather—we think June might be the best time, but is the rain still moderate, or is it a real deal-breaker for the trip? Looking forward to your tips! jean-marie

Hi everyone, I’m supposed to be heading to Romania (Bucharest & Transylvania) next week for 10 days, and I’m really worried about the weather. Every day, the forecast seems to show rain (Sibiu, Brașov, Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca). But it’s never clear like "rain all day"—it looks like a mix of sunny spells, rain, and clouds. So I was wondering, for those who know Romania well, what’s the weather generally like in Transylvania in spring? Is it common to have mountain thunderstorms in the late afternoon, or is it more persistent rain that lasts almost all day? Thanks in advance! 🙂

Hi there, I’ve planned a trip to Santorini and Amorgos in mid-April for two weeks, and I bought my flight ticket just before the seismic tremors started. Now I’m torn between going or canceling my trip. I’d love to know what the situation is like on the ground for tourists. I’ve read that half the residents have left the island and there’s a staff shortage. I’m wondering if hotels, restaurants, shops, buses, and taxis are operating normally? Also, I’d planned to do some hikes, especially along the cliffs, but I’ve read that some areas are now advised against or even off-limits due to risk of collapse. If anyone has visited Santorini or Amorgos recently, I’d love to hear your experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I’m really torn between Tenerife and Rhodes for the week of April 12–19. I’m worried Rhodes might still be a bit chilly in mid-April, and I’m afraid there won’t be much to do in Tenerife?

I’d love to see beautiful sights—whether it’s towns or landscapes—but also lounge by the pool in shorts (or even a swimsuit if possible??). What do you recommend?

Will it be possible to swim in the pool at either (or both) of these destinations?

Thanks for your help!

Hi What’s your experience of Prague in winter like? Weather, vibe, etc. Thanks so much

Hello, now that I'm retired, I'd like to go to Greece from January until the end of April. So I'd love to know which island and part of the island has the mildest climate (warmth and wind) for that period. I've done some research, and the islands that come up most often are Crete and Rhodes.

I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks!
