Bonjour voila je reviens vers vous pour vous en redemander, encore et encore, , , et encore, , et encore au sujet de Iasi la belle ville de Roumanie
j'y suis aller l'an dernier pour retrouver une amie la bas.
et je dois y retourner d'ici 1 petite semaine, pour une periode d'1 a 3 mois.
alors voila, j'aurai quelques questions purement technique a vous posez , je vous poses ici les point clefs auquel je dois faire face.
du coté sans soucis
- nous partons a 2, moi et ma douce.
- pour les billets d'avions, aucun problemes j'opte pour la tarom a depart de lyon
- coté papiers pas de probleme non plus, (la carte d'identitée valide etant suffisante.
voila par contre les points qui me font venir ici sur ce site exellent. ( slluurrppsss la bonne leche ^^ ) 😛😛😛
1/nous allons devoir residé a l'hotel durant toute cette periode, (entre 1 a 3 mois) nous n'avons pas d'autre choix malheureusement 😠
j'ai regarder un peu sur le net, et apres un rapide tour je vois que les hotels sont de l'ordre de 50 euros la nuit pour une chambre pour 2 personnes.
ce qui equivant approximativement, a 1800 euros par mois, si nous passon toute nos nuits dans un hotel a 60 euros la nuit (j'ai compté large) 🏴☠️
2/ la bouffe, je ne me souvient plus trop le cout de la bouffe la bas, mais j'ai compter approx 30 euros par jour par personne (en + dans les hotels nous avons droit a un petit dej pour le prix de la chambre, , Bref ... lol ce qui revient approx a 900 euros pâr personne par mois si on bouffe tout les jours au resto bien sur (je prefert compter large.. tres large meme lool, car on risque tout de meme d'aller pas mal manger chez des amis, et surement payer quelques chose a force )
3/je compte approx 1000 euros d'extra, ( sorties, trajet en bus ou en taxi, ou train, quelques achat dans des magasins, quelques nuits folles en boites de nuits, bref la routine),
et la bing 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️, on arrive a quelques chose du genre 1800+1800+1000=4600 euros par mois
ce qui fait + de 9200 euros pour 2 mois et 13800 euros pour 3 mois.... whaaaaashaaaaaa... ca fait un peu mal au cucul j'avou
pourriez vous m'aidez a y voir plus clair, niveau budget et combien penser vous que je dois compter pour 1 mois bien tasser.
car c'est le coté bouffe qui me fait un peu peur, je trouve cela ultra cher, 900 euros par mois par personne , , aidezmoi plz a savoir si j'allucine ou je me suis planter quelques part loool
car bon je vous rassure j'ai compté tres large.
dites moi juste si je suis totalement dans le vague ou pas , j'avou j'ai totalement zapper le cout de la vie en roumanie
thierry?? tu est la ??? 😛
😇
milles merci les amis
je vous rapelle que la vielle est Iasi, et que je part d'ici 1 semaine (voila pour les options 😄😄😏😏 )
PS j'ai oublier 2 choses
la 1er , le poids des valises et limiter a combien a l'aller ?
la 2em, , vous auriez une petite idée de cadeau , de francais a des roumains ? un truc bien de chez nous ? que je sois sur de pouvoir apporter en avion sans me faire serrer a la mon arriver a bucarest ou iasi lool , un truc legal et qui fasse plaisir en gros)
bonjour tu vas un peut fort ! prevoyant tres large du risque de rentre avec les poches pleines d'euro lol
vas faire un tour sur hostelworld/iasi ily a des appatement a louer pour 14 euro.pour la bouf. 30 euro pour vous deux cela fait 4 repas par jours pour 30 lei tu mange bien ici meme pour moins.
thierry doit avoir de bonnes adresse c'est son coin.j'espere qu'il vas te repondre.
si non vous pouvez toujour venir sans reservation vous ne coucherez jamais dehors avec les roumains😉 et chercher sur place .meme un apart' a louer pour trois mois autour de 200 a 250 euro le mois.c'est le prix a bucarest.
bon sejour daniel.
pour les valise j'ai entendu parler de 20 kg.si tu a beaucoup plus tu peut toujour les faires partir par cars.
atlassib fait ce genre de prestation pour iasi.comme pour toute la roumanie
depart de lyons tout les mercredi.fait vite.et tu arriveras avant tes bagages😉
C’est vrai que c’est budget énorme pour la Roumanie. A Iasi, tu as l’hôtel continental (et non inter continental) qui est pas cher. J’y ais séjourné il y a quelques mois pour 25€ la nuit avec le petit déjeuner. Tu peux essayer de négocier une chambre au mois. C’est hôtel est propre et tout à fait correct.
Sinon tu devrais de mettre en contact avec échange Roumanie, ils auront surement des tuyaux à te donner ou de voir le site onelinero, le forum ou les petites annonces, tu as pas mal de roumain qui le lisent. Dans ton cas il te faut trouver une pension ou un hébergement chez l’habitant ou une location d’appartement. Cela te coutera moins cher et c’est terriblement plus sympa. Une question toute bête ? Ton ami ne connait personne qui pourrait t’héberger ?
Sinon 30€ pour ton budget bouffe c’est bien mais pour deux. Tu manges au resto pour 5 à 8 €
Par contre trois mois à Iasi, tu risques de t'ennuyer. Tu as la Bucovine comme je te l'ais déjà indiqué (3 heures de bus environ de Iasi), sinon si tu as un passeport, il serait dommage que tu ne te visites pas la république de Moldavie et plus particulièrement Chisinau. Tu as une vie nocturne assez sympa à Chisinau. Si tu veux des infos pour la Moldavie, n’hésites pas.
oui de toute facon on compte passer le temps a vadrouiller en roumanie
iasi n'est que le point de chute, et puis bon en amoureux c'est toujours mieux ^^
a oui petite question a 3 copeks , je voulais apporter ma ps3 (oui oui la console), pour pouvoir s'amuser entre pote la bas, je leur ai promis de regarder si c'etait faisable
mais je me demande si je ne risque pas d'avoir des souci aux aeroports??
j'ai bien sur la facture de l'achat de la console en question.
mais pas des jeux... cela pose t'il un probleme?
car sinon je ne la prend pas, pas d'inquietude je ne vais pas scotcher la tv ou la console + que de raison, c'est juste pour s'eclater, et comme je suis loin des 20 kilos de bagages, je voulais savoir si c'etait faisable ou si ca risque d'etre un nid a embrouille aux douane a l'etranger ou a l'aeroport en france.
je faist une escale a bucarest.
* serait-il preferable de la mettre dans un bagage a elle toute seule, pour que si jamais c'est refuser, je puisse la donner a mon chauffeur ?? qui n'est autre que mon frere qui nous emene a l'aeroport ?
merci de me preciser cette derniere chose rapîdement, je suis sur le depart je m'envole, le 19, dans 1 jour
sinon tkt thierry, j'ai bien noté toutes tes petites idées^^
Je sais qu'il est un peu tard, mais tu peux toujours aller demander une chambre aux résidences Gaudeamus. Ce n'est pas très cher, 50 lei par personne. C'est sur la colline de Copou. J'y étais l'an passé et c'est très bien. En plus il y a des cuisines pour te faire à manger.

Hello,
I’m looking for a snowy destination in Europe that’s accessible by car from Lille, not too expensive, and family-friendly. We have two kids aged 4 and almost 9. We don’t ski—we just want to soak up the Christmas vibe, go on short walks, and sled right outside our rental.
We’d considered Slovakia (the Tatras—but that’s 15 hours by car) or the Czech Republic (closer—Jizera Mountains, Korenov). We’re also hoping for some sightseeing (castles, monuments) and that festive Christmas atmosphere.
Do you think the Czech Republic would work for us for a week?
Thanks,
Hi there,
We're heading to Crete at the end of September, staying in a hotel near Agios Nikolaos—Zeus Premium Mirabello Bay.
Has anyone stayed there before, or at least in that area?
What are the possible outings?
Are there buses to get around easily?
Is the weather still pleasant then?
Thanks for your feedback!
Hi there, the island of Limnos (or Lemnos) looks like a great spot for a September trip: not too many tourists at that time, plenty of hiking opportunities, beaches, villages, etc. That said, guidebooks mention an airbase on the island, with some sources saying there are more or less frequent aircraft flyovers. For those who’ve been there—how’s the situation with this? Lots of air traffic or noise issues?
Thanks in advance
I'm currently planning a trip to Cyprus for late October. I have a few questions:
- I plan to visit Nicosia, Paphos, and Ayia Napa. What do you recommend in Ayia Napa?
- Is it easy to get around by bus from one city to another? Or do you have any private drivers to recommend?
- Do you have any hotels to recommend?
Any tips or advice is welcome!
Thanks in advance
Hi! I'm torn between these two destinations. If we go to Crete, we'll probably head to the Chania region and the south, which seems wilder. With 10 days and a car, it should work out. If we choose Sardinia, we haven't figured out the exact area yet. We love hiking, swimming, and eating well. We have 10 days at the end of September and prefer to avoid crowds this year. In May, we went to Menorca and really enjoyed it—great hikes, beautiful beaches, good food, and not too many cars.
Hi,
I'm looking for a private transfer from Istanbul Airport to the historic center of Sirkeci. Does anyone know a company? I've found a few:
GetYourGuide,
Istanbultour24.fr (more interesting because they offer round-trip transfers at a lower price).
If you've used any of these services, I'd love to hear your feedback.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I'm looking for info on the Pristina–Skopje bus route.
Can you leave from the main bus station in Pristina?
I’ve also heard about a bus station near the theater...
If anyone has details, I’d love to hear them—thanks!!!!
We want to book our tickets to visit the Acropolis site and the associated museum. For these reservations, we need to specify entry time slots.
For the Acropolis alone: the first slot is at 8:30 AM.
For the museum: 10 AM? 11 AM?
We like to wander around, so here’s our question: if we haven’t finished exploring the site after 1.5 hours, is it possible to go back in after leaving the museum?
We’ll be buying tickets from the official websites—audio guides are mentioned. Any feedback on those? On sites like Get Your Guide, the prices are much higher with the audio guide included, but does that mean better quality?
Hello,
We're heading to Istanbul from October 7th to 12th. I’d love to do a dinner cruise on the Bosphorus on a more intimate boat (no show) with a private table and alcohol (wine, since it’s a birthday dinner). Could anyone recommend a reliable company (I’m not looking for a private yacht either) that organizes this kind of evening?
Thanks in advance,
Hi, I’d like to buy a ticket to go to Terezín from Prague using the Pid Litacka app, but I don’t know which zone to get the ticket for. Thanks for your help! 😊
Hi there,
After booking an Airbnb last January for this summer’s vacation in Sarajevo... My "host" canceled our reservation without any reason—this has never happened to me before.
Of course, now it’s impossible to find a place to stay at a "normal" price in Sarajevo with parking...
So we’re falling back on the capital of the Republika Srpska, Banja Luka, which had already crossed my mind before I booked Sarajevo.
I already have quite a few ideas in mind, without having dug too deep into the region yet.
But if anyone has already been there and has suggestions? Even for restaurants—I’m all ears!
And even if it’s not right next door, I’m planning to spend a day in Sarajevo!
Hi, I’m going to Turkey for 3 weeks. I’ve heard that you can’t book through Booking.com once you’re there and that everything has to be reserved in advance. Is it true that Booking.com doesn’t work in Turkey? Thanks to anyone who’s already been or is there—if it’s true, how do you handle bookings?
I’d love to get your opinions and advice on a destination.
It’s actually for my 19-year-old son who wants to go to Greece with his cousin, who’s the same age.
They’re looking at leaving on October 24th for 7 to 10 days.
For their trip, they want gorgeous beaches where they can swim, beautiful typical villages and historic cities, stunning landscapes, but also lively spots for their nights out. In short, they’re not just going there to laze around—they want to make the most of it...
But here’s the thing: will the weather be too iffy at that time, especially for swimming?
Also, would Crete be the best choice for what they’re looking for?
Then, a travel agent suggested Tenerife instead because of the weather at that time of year—he said the climate there is the same all year round. But will they find landscapes and beaches as beautiful as in Crete?
Hi there,
Our first trip to Greece as a couple. We're planning to spend 7 days in Greece from August 30th to September 5th. We'll reserve 2 days for Athens at the end of the trip. For the remaining 5 days, we want to visit an island—any recommendations? Thanks for your tips and details, we really appreciate it.
Hi,
What tips can you give me for dealing with a car rental scam attempt in Lithuania?
In our case, it’s the Avis-Budget agency in Vilnius trying to scam us.
We rented a car at Vilnius Airport for 2 weeks on July 28, 2019, to return it in Tallinn on August 11.
We brought it back on August 11 at the airport, in perfect condition, and with a full tank at the gas station right by Tallinn Airport.
On the parking lot, the receptionist’s booth was closed. So we had to leave the car in the lot and go to the counter inside the airport. The person at the counter told us their colleague had gone for lunch!
But they refused to come out and do the inspection with us because they were alone at the counter.
They told us we could leave and that everything was fine!!!!
Two days later, we got an email from Avis-Budget with two invoices saying the car was damaged—scratched on both sides—and charging us for a full tank of gas. That’s two bills totaling 800 €!!!! Coincidentally, the deposit was 900 €!
It’s clear this isn’t over!!
Have any of you been through the same nightmare? How did you handle it?
Thanks in advance!
I’m spending 2 weeks in Crete in September and will need a rental car.
I usually go with Europcar, but comparing their offer to what Aegean Rentals has, I see Europcar is charging no less than 400 € more for the same car and similar insurance!
I’d love to hear if others have experience with Aegean Rentals, and if so, whether it was a good one?
Hi,
We’re heading to Greece in early October and will be staying in Kineta, north of the Saronic Gulf, and renting a car.
Is it feasible to visit Acrocorinth, Mycenae, Nafplio, and Epidaurus in a single day?
Thanks for your recommendations!
Hi there!
I’m sharing our itinerary for May/June 2027—23 days. This is our first time in Greece, so we’re starting with the must-see spots. We’re planning another trip later to explore the north, Thessaloniki, Macedonia, and some islands.
- Athens, 4 nights
- Corinth area, 2 nights (Heraion of Perachora, Canal, Acrocorinth)
- Nafplio, 3 nights (Mycenae, Epidaurus, Methana peninsula)
- Gefira, 2 nights (Monemvasia)
- Areopoli, 2 nights (Mani). Maybe add an extra night and stay on the peninsula??? Based on my calculations, the Mani loop is about 100 km—doable in a day, but it’d be a quick trip.
- Sparta or Pikoulianika, 2 nights (Mystras)
- Dimitsana, 2 nights (Lousios Gorge, monasteries)
- Olympia, 2 nights (via Lagkadia?)
- Delphi or Arachova, 3 nights (via the west coast, Galaxidi bridge) (Delphi, Hosios Loukas Monastery)
- And back to Athens.
This is just a rough draft for now. We’re planning to stay in hotels or book through Booking.com. What do you think? Thanks for your feedback and suggestions!
Over the past twenty-five years, I’ve traveled the roads between France and Moldova a good ten times, sometimes via Central Europe, other times via the Balkans.
It was while traveling like this—what I call "hitting the road the slow way"—that I realized something simple: our neighbors' neighbors are very clearly our neighbors too. And that’s not insignificant.
After a break of a few years, I’m planning to hit the road again in September, this time heading to Kosovo, crossing through Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Having gotten a bit older, I’ve no intention of rushing—no need to speed ahead of the music! 😄
I’d rather take my time.
I’m not looking to see everything, but to soak in the atmosphere of the places, always leaving room for the unexpected and for encounters.
I’m especially drawn to culturally immersive, authentic, and welcoming regions: lively villages, backroads, preserved landscapes, markets, local festivals, traditions that are still very much alive... and, why not, a few offbeat, forgotten, or slightly secret spots.
If any of you know Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, or Kosovo a little, I’d love to hear your suggestions for itineraries, stops, backroads, homestays, village festivals, or local contacts, for example.
Planning to return to Belarus in mid-August, I just realized that since last September, Poland has reopened several border crossing points, and for buses, this means connections like Białystok-Grodno.
Several bus company routes, like on infobus.eu, take between 3 and 4 hours.
Trains from Warsaw to Białystok take about 1.5 to 2 hours.
This has the advantage of allowing comfortable train journeys with minimal time spent on a bus.
Also, the Terespol-Brest border might have shorter queues if you still prefer a Warsaw-Brest bus.
Note that another route to Minsk, if you have a paper Russian or Belarusian visa, is the Kaliningrad-Minsk train. It’s long—around ten or eleven hours—but you can lie down and sleep. An option if you fly into Gdańsk and then take a short bus to Kaliningrad.
There are also Belavia flights from Minsk to Kaliningrad, but they’re expensive. The route is scenic:
In any case, this adds a few more options compared to what’s been available over the last four years.
Hi there.
I’d like to know what the daily budget is for Greece in December. I’ll be landing in Athens and staying there for a week, then heading to some other islands—I don’t have a set itinerary yet. Also, I’ve heard that in December, or early January, the temperature is around 11–16°C. Is that accurate?
Finally, does anyone have a good recommendation for a cheap but clean hotel near the tourist sites? I don’t need a TV or any other extras. Also, is Greece gay-friendly?
I’d like to know the opening hours of physical stores between Germany and Austria, and between Austria and Slovenia, that sell the PAPER STICKER toll vignettes that still exist for 2026—non-digital ones. I don’t think they’re open 24/7, and I can’t find the info anywhere.
Thanks
Hi there,
We’re planning a 3-week trip in late September with our camper van to explore Bulgaria and Romania.
What routes would you recommend, starting from the South?
Is there an option to take a ferry in Italy, and is it worth it?
Thanks for all your tips!😊
Hi there, we’re a young couple and we’d love to go to the Blue Eye (Syri i Kalter) between today (26/06/26) and tomorrow (27/06/26).
Is anyone heading there and could give us a ride? We’re super friendly!
Thanks so much!
We're back. It's still a bit tough to get precise info, so here's a quick trip report!
A good starting point is Shkoder, a really pleasant city. You can easily explore Shkoder itself in a day or two.
Two accessible spots: Valbona and Theth.
In both cases, local travel agencies in Shkoder or online offer round-trip or one-way access packages. Super handy, especially for Valbona.
Valbona and Theth are both very steep! There aren’t many easy hikes for less sporty folks (like me!).
Valbona: The highlight is the amazing 2.5-hour boat ride across Lake Koman. There are day trips from Shkoder, but you’ll only get a short tour of the lake. The best option is to do the full crossing—so spend a night in Valbona (or two if you want to hike in the valley) and return.
Theth is deeply nestled in the mountains. The village at the end of the valley, which is a dead end, has lots of hotels, but they’re pricey. Other hostels are scattered along the mountainside road, but it’s a steep climb down to the village or to the start of the two easy hikes (waterfalls and the Blue Eye). For us, it was a one-hour descent (and ascent!). It’s fine if you have a car; otherwise, keep an eye out for a taxi (cheap) or try hitchhiking—it works really well.
Access from Shkoder to Theth is through an agency. The road is in great condition, and you can also rent a car for 2-3 days in Shkoder. If we did it again, that’s the option we’d choose.
We didn’t do the trek and returned to Shkoder each time. I can’t speak to its difficulty, but we were there in late May, and even experienced hikers had given up because of heavy rain and snow.
Hope this helps! It’s a stunning region you shouldn’t miss.
We’re a Canadian couple, both 77, and we’re already planning our vacation for fall 2027.
Timeframe: mid-September to mid-October... dates are flexible, and we might stay even longer.
Initially, I had planned this itinerary:
Athens (3), Naxos (4), Paros (4), Santorini (4), then a flight to Istanbul (7–10 days!!). This would let us maximize our flights and experience another culture.
That’s a lot of ferries, though... I’ve already cut out Milos.
Our second option would be to stay 2 x 15 days on two different islands, but I’d still keep Istanbul as our next destination... or maybe 30 days on one island that offers the chance to take day trips to other islands where the ferry ride is no more than 2 to 2.5 hours. For example, Naxos to Paros only takes 30 minutes. We could return the same evening or stay overnight.
Naxos seems like the best option!!!
For Istanbul, of course we want to do a day cruise on the Bosphorus and see Hagia Sophia. If we stay 6–7 days, what would be the other main attractions? Are there any points of interest we can reach by local bus?
Hi there!
We bought our tickets to Greece at the end of November 2025, and let’s just say the geopolitical climate has really taken a turn since then with the war started by the United States against Iran. Not to mention all the other conflicts happening around the world 😕... Anyway!
Our flight from Montreal is on May 1st, and I was wondering how things are currently being experienced in Greece.
We were planning to rent a car and had already booked accommodations on three Cyclades islands!!
The oil shortage is also worrying us...
If you could share some insights on this, that would be great!
