Back from Albania (1,000km by car)
by Lucioles84 · 2025-11-23 · 4 replies
At the risk of drawing some harsh criticism, I’ll admit we were really disappointed: sure, this trip—taken at the end of September—was short (a week), but we’d planned this little road trip (1,000km by car) as a first scouting mission. We won’t be going back anytime soon!

First mistake: we flew into Tirana (from Marseille) when it would’ve been better to fly to Corfu and rent a car in the south of the country instead of staying in the capital, which frankly isn’t all that interesting. From Tirana, we headed east toward Lin, by Lake Ohrid (a very poor region facing Macedonia), then to Korça, which guidebooks call "the most pleasant city in Albania." From there, we drove to Gjirokastra, an old Ottoman town (170km of mountain roads that took us nearly 5 hours...), then further south to Butrint, near Greece. The goal of these stops? To visit UNESCO World Heritage sites. In Lin, 6th-century mosaics; in Korça, a remarkable icon museum; in Gjirokastra, the citadel. At Butrint, we fled at the sight of all the tour buses parked in front of "this major archaeological site in the Mediterranean" and headed back north! The entire Adriatic coast is undergoing severe overdevelopment: developers are destroying the coastline to attract even more tourists (11 million visited in 2024, while Albania only has 3 million residents). We preferred to leave the coastal road (in excellent condition, a future highway) to visit Berat, an Ottoman town topped by a citadel. Our favorite spot. Why were we so disappointed? Villages without charm, outskirts of major cities in advanced decay, trash along the roads... The weight of the communist dictatorship and forced industrialization over forty years is still felt everywhere. The country is recovering but betting on tourism. The result? Newly built villas for the newly rich, beaches near the capital already polluted... Too bad, because the natural landscapes are often stunning, the locals are welcoming (young people learn English, though their parents speak little), and prices remain very reasonable—except in the capital. We’d chosen to stay with locals as much as possible, but like in Croatia, families are turning their homes into guest houses (~35 € per night, hearty breakfast included). Renting the car cost us 312 € for a week (with an international rental company—it’s probably cheaper with a local one, but I prefer understanding the contract I sign), and we cautiously took the optional insurance. Just so you know: Albanians drive fast, seem unfamiliar with traffic rules, overtake before curves, ignore yellow lines, and rarely use turn signals...)
Is Zanzibar worth visiting?
by Bidulette · 2025-11-01 · 6 replies
Hi everyone, I’m planning a two-week trip to Tanzania at the end of December and beginning of January, including 3 or 4 days in Zanzibar. But after reading some posts about the island, I’m wondering if it’s really worth it.

Are the beaches on the mainland just as idyllic as Zanzibar’s? I’ve also seen there are other islands, like Mafia Island, which is less touristy.

Another question: for my arrival, I don’t want to stay in Dar es Salaam, as big cities don’t really appeal to me. Would Bagamoyo be a good base, or would you recommend somewhere else?

To give you more details, I’m not traveling with a tour operator—I’m more of a backpacker and prefer local transport.

Thanks for your advice!
Feedback on Vietnam itinerary in December
by Pristyle · 2025-10-14 · 12 replies
Hello everyone, We’re heading to Vietnam for 14 nights over the Christmas holidays as a family of four—I haven’t booked anything yet. I’d love your insights on Halong Bay (or Lan Ha Bay). We’re torn between going or not and spending an extra night in Ninh Binh (or somewhere else you’d recommend! Somewhere with a more picturesque vibe) given the late-December weather and cost (which agency do you recommend?). The upside might be that we’ll be there during the low season, so maybe fewer tourists? (Even though it’d be New Year’s Eve night.) Here’s our itinerary: Arrival in Ho Chi Minh City around 1 p.m. 2nd night in HCMC (no time for the Mekong Delta ☹️) Flight to Da Nang 3 nights in Hoi An Bus to Hue, 1 night in Hue City visit, overnight train to Ninh Binh 2 or 3 nights in Ninh Binh? Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay? 2 nights in Hanoi Departure Thank you so much in advance for your invaluable tips!
Looking for feedback on bike touring in Central Asia
by Lumazero · 2025-10-02 · 5 replies
Hi everyone, We’re planning to spend 5 months cycling as a family in Central Asia. To align with the weather, we’re thinking of arriving in Uzbekistan in April, heading toward the Ferghana Valley in late April/early May, and wrapping up with a long stretch in Kyrgyzstan from mid-May to early August.

I haven’t really dug into the third part (Kyrgyzstan) yet, but from what I’ve seen on the forum and online, cycling across Uzbekistan doesn’t seem all that appealing: long, straight desert stretches with lots of trucks.

Has anyone come across any "hidden gem" routes they’d be willing to share? I’ve already noted that it’s best to avoid riding toward Tashkent. I’m looking for routes between Bukhara and Samarkand, and any nearby areas that are nice for cycling.

I’d love to fly into Dushanbe to reach Samarkand, but we all agree that it’s not a good fit for the season (early April) if we’re cycling, right?

Thanks for your feedback! Ludo
What to choose for a first summer trip to Asia: Indonesia or Thailand?
by DomBegga · 2025-08-04 · 90 replies
Hi there,

I’m planning my first trip to Asia next summer with my partner and our daughter, who’ll be 3 and a half at the time, for 4 weeks (maybe 5).

I’ve heard that the timing is better for visiting Indonesia, but I’m hesitant because Thailand seems more accessible, and I’m worried that traveling to Indonesia during high season might be less enjoyable and a lot more expensive due to the number of tourists. We love cultural sites as much as natural ones, and we’re big foodies. We’re not necessarily looking for luxury and tend to take our time, travel by public transport, and look for accommodations with a good value for money—though we do occasionally splurge on a high-end restaurant.

I’m also wondering when and where to buy flight tickets and how comfortable the journey will be (especially for our daughter) if we fly with Thai Airways or Garuda.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts and tips!

Croatia: which region is ideal for hiking and snorkelling?
by Laumac · 2025-05-28 · 2 replies
Hi there, Once again, I’m turning to VoyageForum to kick off my trip planning—this time, it’s Croatia! I’m treating my 29-year-old daughter to a trip where we’d love to combine hiking and snorkelling. I’m not sure if we can focus on just one region, but that’d be ideal since we’ll only have 10–15 days in August this year. Could anyone point me in the right direction for a first lead? Are transport links easy to navigate? Is it better to go with Airbnb or a hostel? Thanks in advance for your tips! Laurence from Bayonne
Tips and suggestions for a trip to Northern and Southern India
by RogerG · 2025-05-21 · 8 replies
Hello,

We’d love some tips and suggestions for a trip to India we’re planning for February 2026:

We’re a couple in our 70s based in Canada (Montreal), and we’re planning a 3-week trip to India in February 2025.

We’re looking for a moderate pace, with comfortable but authentic and immersive accommodations, and good service.

Ideally:

Northern India (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Ranthambore) Southern India (Kerala): Cochin, backwaters (cruise), Munnar

Charming or traditional lodgings (haveli, guesthouse, small hotels), comfortable without being luxurious.

Travel by train where possible, and with a private driver for the rest, plus likely a domestic flight.

What do you think?

From Bangkok to Krabi, Thailand by Car!
by Attila · 2025-04-15 · 317 replies
This first trip of 2025 will have the taste of Asia.

More precisely, Thailand!

It’s not my first time—I’ve often traveled across Southeast Asia between 2000 and 2015. (This travel journal, for example...)

But it’ll be my partner’s first steps in this part of the world.

The itinerary we’ve chosen will alternate between familiar sights for me and new discoveries for both of us.

I’ll get to see how the country has changed in 20 years—and what’s stayed the same!

We were torn between the north and the south of the kingdom. Fears of smoke from slash-and-burn farming and a desire to relax on the sand tipped the scales toward the south...

What if we rented a car?

I think driving in sprawling Bangkok would be a bit ambitious, so we’ll only book our vehicle from Hua Hin to return it in Surat Thani.

Other transportation will range from tuk-tuks to overnight trains and ride-hailing services.

And of course, the plane!

I’d love to travel from Auvergne to Bangkok by road, but 15 days wouldn’t be enough...

Plus, the current geopolitical situation isn’t exactly favorable...

So, once again, we’ll be stuck for hours in the less-than-comfortable economy class of Qatar Airways.

The arrival time was on schedule, entry formalities were quick, and all our luggage made it.

We left Lyon in wind and cold—now we’re breathing in the warm, humid air of กรุงเทพมหานคร.

To reach our hotel, we first took the metro, which dropped us off in the city center in about 30 minutes for the incredible price of 1.18 €.

A few taps on the GRAB app, and we booked a ride-hailing service for the last few kilometers.

We waited a while for our driver due to insane traffic in the area, but once in the 4x4, we were at our lodging in no time.

We chose this small hotel for its riverside location, tranquility, and price.

It’ll do the job perfectly—the only downside is the weak breakfast.

The room is inviting, and we collapse onto the bed for a well-deserved short nap.

Wake-up call in an hour for our first visits!

See you soon...

Road Trip NAM BOT 25
by Ruam · 2025-03-30 · 4 replies
Hi everyone, We're heading out again for a little road trip through South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia. Quick question: we're leaving from Midrand, taking the N14 to Vryburg, then heading toward the McCarthy's Border crossing. After that, we want to reach the Mabuasehube Gate. The question is, how long does it take to get from Midrand to the Mabuasehube Gate? We plan to make one stop near Vryburg to fill up on drinks and snacks. Thanks in advance for your replies, especially if anyone's done this route before! JP M
One-month trip to Nicaragua – feedback
by Chantalram · 2025-03-13 · 15 replies
Hi everyone, There’s not much info out there on Nicaragua in general, which is why I posted my questions here on the forum... but didn’t get many answers since it’s tough to find any anyway. It’s a stunning country, but my experience was mixed. There are areas with very few tourists (which is exactly what we were looking for), but as a result, there’s almost no way to get around (unless you walk, and even that’s not easy or always possible) and no real tourist infrastructure. Finding info is nearly impossible—there’s practically nothing, so it’s hard to know what you’ll find in a given place, whether it’s worth taking a 12-hour bus ride across the country, only to turn around 48 hours later. The easy and pleasant spots: Granada, Ometepe, San Juan del Sur and the Pacific beaches, León, and the Corn Islands. These are the places mentioned in guidebooks (the rest is jungle to the east, not many roads south of the lake, and no boats on the lake either—except for the Rivas-Ometepe connection). Venturing off the beaten path is really tough. The Caribbean coast: aside from the Corn Islands (which are very touristy but not easy to reach by ferry from Bluefields), or if you want to take a flight with La Costeña, book in advance—there are often very few seats! The rest isn’t particularly satisfying, especially Pearl Lagoon, where swimming isn’t possible due to unsafe water. Don’t expect a postcard-perfect setting. But everything’s worth it if you have the time... Buses: there are plenty, and they’re super cheap—but be warned, they stop everywhere, take forever, and are loud (though kind of charming in a vintage way). Too many buses can ruin a trip. Lodges: affordable on a small budget, except in Managua and along the entire Caribbean coast! For example, beaches like El Tránsito (which is gorgeous) charge at least $50 or $60 per night for a basic room. Good to know. In Matagalpa, we tried to rent a motorcycle to get around—impossible. I asked everywhere, but there was no way. So we cut our stay short because once you’ve explored Selva Negra, there’s not much else to do (an 8-hour bus ride to see a waterfall? No thanks). These might seem like small details, but they really matter when you want to enjoy where you are and discover nice spots—you end up stuck. Bring plenty of mosquito spray + oral antihistamines: mosquitoes and bites are a *serious* nuisance. (I got over 200 bites in one go during a trip to a humid tropical forest, even though I was covered and protected.) All in all, it’s an adventurous, exploratory trip. The people are great, and we never felt unsafe (even though some travelers have had *really* bad experiences). I thought there’d be a carnival since it was the right time of year—nothing. No dancing, not festive at all (compared to Brazil, for example, it’s the complete opposite). We saw animals, but no toucans, for example! For a beautiful, pristine, and well-organized trip, everyone agrees—go to Costa Rica, but be prepared to pay a lot more. Nicaragua is something else entirely. For surfers, though, it’s amazing! Personally, I love watching fish in clear, calm waters, hiking in nature, and swimming—I think I picked the wrong destination, but I’m glad I got to experience this totally wild side of Central America! :-)
Return to "The Wave" (Coyote Buttes North Advanced Lottery): access trail questions
by JeanMichel54 · 2025-03-04 · 10 replies
Hi there, I just got the "congratulations" email last night letting me know that our first-choice access to The Wave for June 16, 2025, was approved in the March 1st lottery draw! We thought we’d missed out since we hadn’t heard anything on the 1st or 2nd of March... It’s true that for the past two years, it’s no longer 10 and 10 people like before, but 48 and 16 who are allowed to enter the site through the two lottery processes. That helps balance out the surge in applications that must come with the place’s growing global fame... I haven’t found any info on this, but does anyone know how many applications are typically submitted each month per date for the Advanced Lottery? So, my somewhat lucky track record for 3 attempts: 2 successes for April 2009 and June 2025, and one miss for September 2011. We’re still a little nervous about the likely high temperatures, with hardly any shade or water on-site 😛. At Easter 2009, it had snowed a bit the day before... From what I remember, the access trail from Route 89 to Wire Pass Trailhead was doable without a 4x4, with a bit of ground clearance and careful driving (obviously no storms). A simple Toyota RAV4, like the one we’re planning to rent, should be fine in dry conditions? We’ll be heading there from Page on the morning of 06/16 (how long’s the drive?), then heading to Kanab for 3 nights in the evening. Thanks for any tips you might have! 😉
Cécile, from Big Sur to Sausalito
by Ducono · 2025-02-05 · 32 replies
After our first trip discovering the American West with our teens, Cécile asked me to go back for a romantic getaway to this wonderful destination. Whatever my wife wants, so here we are on a plane in September 2022, heading to San Francisco. Since we’d already visited the main parks two years earlier, this time we took the scenic route:



We arrived late in the evening, spent a short night at the hotel, and picked up our rental car to hit Highway 1 and the Pacific coast. The sky was gray, foggy, and a bit disappointing for now.



As Brittany lovers, we know coastal weather can change quickly... but no! Bixby Bridge was just a quick view from the car, and it was only 11°C outside.



We had a quick picnic on the spot, quickly bothered by the local wildlife.



And then—miracle! This charming animal made the wind shift and brought us sunshine. So this coast is absolutely worth the trip—it’s just stunning.



Only the sound of the wind and the seals’ calls disturbed the tranquility of the moment.





But even the best things come to an end, and we turned inland toward the sequoias. We drove through a long plain with fruit trees, vineyards, and endless straight roads.





First night at the hotel, tired but happy! !

Hiking and Swimming in Mauritius in April

South Africa in Three Trips
by Michel85200 · 2024-10-16 · 89 replies
Hello,

In these post-COVID years, South Africa (SA) has drawn me back again... The long-time forum members will say I'm a bit obsessed (I've now surpassed 20 trips to this country, including 2 in Namibia)... But new readers can find my old travel journals and enjoy this new installment. So, three new trips... each lasting a month... always too short. I’ll try to be pragmatic.

Let’s start with the basics! You can plan your trip from your couch with complete peace of mind. Through any Booking site or directly (sometimes cheaper), I’ve never had any issues with my direct bookings—they’ve always matched what was promised. For national parks outside KwaZulu-Natal (where it’s KZN Wildlife), use the SANparks website, or Nature Reserve for that type of "accommodation." Air France, Lufthansa, or KLM... depending on the year and circumstances. Most flights are overnight, allowing you to arrive early in Joburg and... leave this city I don’t much like as quickly as possible. KLM offers a daytime flight to Cape Town... just arrange your first night’s stay. You drive on the left in SA (you knew that, right?)... you get used to it. Passport: must still be valid for 6 months with several blank pages... Car rental? A car is pretty much essential, whether for short or long trips. It’s safer too. Aside from the secure Gautrain in Joburg and Cape Town (CT from now on), I don’t take the train. Except for the red bus drop-off/pick-up in CT, I don’t take the bus. In this specific case, it’s practical because you can access all of CT’s spots—including the famous Lion’s Head—without worrying about parking or traffic. These past three years, I’ve chosen Around About Cars as my rental company. I’m very satisfied with them. What kind of car? It depends on what you’re doing and your budget. The vast majority of roads don’t require a special vehicle. In a park, the "high ground clearance" of SUVs lets you see animals better and helps avoid potholes (the SA version—ostrich-sized), speed bumps (our "sleeping policemen" with a big belly), and tackle the last few kilometers or 100 meters that can be a bit rough with complete peace of mind. Do your research. For me, it’s 4x2 or 4x4 depending on... South Africans drive fast... and I feel safer that way. International driver’s permit? Legally required! Never asked for by a rental company, only once by the police—but I stood my ground, confident, and it went smoothly. Road checks? Yes, often—at least two every time, but they’re relaxed... Note that if a police officer wants to give you a fine, it must be done at the police station—insist on going there... they’ll usually drop it. If they suggest paying on the spot in cash to "make things easier"... it’s just for their pocket. There’s a special "police alert" number—remind them of it! The rand is the South African currency. Nowadays, cards work in many places. But note: a car rental company will ask for a credit card, not a debit card. Be careful: cash is no longer accepted in SANparks camps and other places (entrances, etc.)! It’s card only! I always carry some cash. I order it from Yeschange (sounds dodgy, but it’s very reliable). Phew... What an introduction!



Thailand, 4 Years Later...
by Sawadeebaht · 2024-10-10 · 7 replies
Well, yes, it'll be me, the one, returning to our travel or vacation site about this destination. A site still imitated, never equaled, and by far.

A country that, when you discover it, charms you. Then comes the time for nostalgia, followed by one or more returns to the Land of Smiles. It's almost inevitable.

It's a real gut punch when you've met and grown fond of locals, only to learn about all the hardships the Covid sequence brought upon them. Broken careers, shattered hopes, disrupted lives.

Like after the tsunami, life and activity have bounced back, sometimes in different forms. Many things haven't changed much: the exchange rate, the quality of the food, the politeness and kindness of the Thai people.

As for us, we've lost members of our VF Thailand community along the way, to whom we pay our respects, but we're now happy to reconnect with both old and new faces. Sometimes in life, it's a chance to start over, forget old worries and squabbles, and be able to exchange thoughts again on one of our favorite topics.

A quick shout-out to Monsieur François Boucher, without whom, as the saying goes, none of this would have been possible. The growing success of VF over the years silences any criticism on that front. He kept his word on both the maintenance and sustainability of the site. Finally, he can be congratulated for his courageous stances during this troubled period, which, in hindsight, we must admit he got right. On a personal note, it did me good to hear voices like his speak up.

Soon, for the Thailand destination and all others, the word Covid will finally stop appearing, and long live the new era!

Sawadee khrap, with my respects to the gentlemen, my regards to the ladies, and my greetings to everyone else.
Naples, à moitié déçu... English translation pending
by Curniciello · 2020-09-18 · 7 replies
Bonjour à tous,

Me voilà revenu de Naples. Je ne savais pas où partager mon ressenti, les forums de Tripadvisor et du Routard semblent morts. J'espère qu'ici j'aurais des retours.

Grand amoureux de l'Italie, et surtout grand lecteur, je me suis rendu cette année à Naples pour la première fois. Autant vous dire que de Stendhal, à Goethe, en passant par Lamartine, Dumas ou plus récemment Jean-Noël Schifano, Naples me faisait "littéralement" rêver.

En ce qui me concerne, je suis un jeune qui tend vers la trentaine. Je parle encore mal l'italien, mais suffisamment assez pour maintenir de petites discussions, manger au restaurant, commander, ou comprendre ce qu'on me dit.

J'ai longtemps hésité avant d'aller à Naples avec tout ce qu'on pouvait lire sur Internet et dans les guides. Je ne suis pas du genre à m'habiller touriste. J'aime les beaux vêtements, même à l'étranger. Et emporter mon appareil photo ne me rassurait guère.

Arrivé sur place je me suis rendu compte que sur ce point tout était faux. Les jeunes napolitains aiment d'autant plus les beaux vêtements. Je n'ai pas compté le nombre de Balenciaga aux pieds des jeunes filles du Quartier Espagnol. Naples n'est pas plus, ni moins dangereuse que Paris. J'y rentrai tard le soir (avant minuit tout de même) entre les courses nocturnes de scooters sans que je sois embêté. J'ai néanmoins trouvé le centre historique et les alentours de la gare un peu plus suspects le soir. Certainement car ce sont des passages touristiques dans lesquels il est plus facile d'y repérer le touriste

Sur la question de l'insalubrité, même constat que le point précédent. Les Quartiers Espagnols et Rione Sanità sont étonnement propres comparés au centre historique, aux alentours de la gare, ou encore du Longomare qui pour le coup était vraiment sale. Mais ayant voyagé dans d'autres pays, ce n'est pas ce qui a retenu mon attention. De toute façon, j'étais prévenu. A titre de comparaison, Rome est une réelle déchetterie ! J'ai visité des capitales pauvres, et pourtant impeccables. Mais ce n'est pas le sujet

Nous arrivons aux points qui m'ont déçus. Mes amis m'ont vendu Naples comme "la ville la plus chaleureuse d'Italie" dans laquelle "Je me ferai des amis". J'ai personnellement jamais été aussi mal accueilli dans cette ville. Je pensais qu'après un confinement qui a fait du mal à l'Italie, et qu'en l'absence de plus de la moitié des touristes extra-européens, ils seraient "heureux" de me recevoir au restaurant. Pourtant, à chaque fois j'avais l'impression de déranger. On me poussait vers la sortie alors que le restaurant était vide à 12h, on ne faisait pas l'effort de me parler ni de me comprendre. J'étais souvent servi en dernier après les locaux

De même, en ce qui concerne l'amabilité générale, c'est l'unique ville d'Italie où je n'ai rencontré personne. J'ai été perdu une fois au début de mon voyage, j'ai du demander 5 fois avant que quelqu'un m'indique le chemin. Par chance, c'était une française expatriée ! Les autres se détournaient, et pourtant je demandais en Italien.

J'ai longtemps rêvé de Naples, d'y rencontrer ses gens, de pratiquer mon italien, de partager un café, de parler à un pêcheur, de faire le tour de la ville avec un local. Et me voilà rentré bredouille

J'ai certainement généralisé, mais sur toutes les villes que j'ai visité, c'est la première fois que ça m'arrive. J'aimerais y retourner néanmoins, j'ai beaucoup aimé l’atmosphère, les paysages, et surtout essayer de rencontrer 1 ou 2 napolitains. Je ne sais pas s'il existe des associations de bénévolat ou des choses similaires où je pourrai rencontrer du monde, je vais essayer de me renseigner

Que pensez-vous des napolitains, pour ceux qui y sont allés ? Peut-être que des gens y vivent ? Ou mieux, des napolitains seraient présents sur ce forum ?

Peut être que je n'ai juste pas eu de chance cette fois-ci, mais le ressenti était général, l'ambiance était "froide"...

Remboursement du ferry Kiel-Oslo annulé English translation pending
by Bouaye · 2020-06-23 · 6 replies
nous devions faire la traversée Kiel vers Oslo en ferry, le 26 juin, pour un coût important (950€). La compagnie a annulé le ferry pour cause Covid. au début elle nous a dit que nous aurions un avoir. et non, on ne voit rien venir. ce qui est scandaleux, c'est qu'elle nous impose maintenant : - soit d'annuler le voyage purement et simplement, et on n'a droit à rien comme dédommagement - soit de reporter le voyage à plus tard, mais là c'est succulent : nous devons payer 104 € de frais de modification, en plus des 950 déjà encaissés. - et je dois répondre sous 7h sinon la proposition est annulée.

donc je me vois être obligé de payer 100€ pour ne pas en perdre 900 ! c'est proprement du racket. aferry est une agence quasi incontournable pour réserver en ligne, et il n'y a guère de concurrence. et, cerise sur le gâteau, il n'existe aucun moyen de s'adresser à eux : ni téléphone, ni messagerie, ni adresse postale. avez-vous eu ce genre de mésaventure ?

Vaut-il mieux conduire en Irlande/Grande-Bretagne avec son véhicule ou en louer un? English translation pending
by Mariecurry · 2020-05-15 · 31 replies
Bonjour à tous,

L'essentiel de mon interrogation est contenue dans le titre de ce fil : est-il plus aisé de conduire son propre véhicule en Irlande et en Grande-Bretagne ou vaut-il mieux en louer un une fois sur place ? Je pensais que circuler avec ma voiture serait plus commode mais je lis par-ci par-là qu'il est bien plus confortable (même pour nous) d'être au volant d'un véhicule adapté à la conduite à gauche et qu'on s'y habitue très vite. Par ailleurs, quid de la conduite à gauche ? Je suis preneuse de retours d'expériences, merci. 🙂

Bonjour à tous

Nouveau sur ce forum, je viens ici aux infos sur une croisière

Ma compagne et moi souhaitons partir en croisière pour fêter mes 30 ans

On envisage une croisière aux îles grecques depuis Venise. Avec le Costa delisioza

Les dates sont du 19 au 26 septembre

Déjà pensez vous que les navires auront repris les croisières ? Selon le site de costa c’est bon

On veux prendre une cabine avec balcon en total confort. On hésite avec samsara, qu’en pensez vous ?

Sinon vous conseillez de réserver par Costa où quelqu’un d’autre ?

Avec vous des conseils ?

Merci d’avance 🙏
Maintenir un voyage dans les Pouilles en août 2020 English translation pending

Bonsoir, j'aimerais l'avis des voyageurs sur un séjour que j'ai prévu dans les Pouilles du 17/8 au 6/9 2020. Au vu du contexte ce jour, et l'incertitude sur la sortie de cette crise sanitaire en France et en Italie, je me demande si je dois annuler mon séjour. Mes hébergements sont annulables gratuitement jusque début août, mais pas mon billet d'avion Air France Paris Bari Paris. Je peux juste le modifier. Que me conseillez-vous ?😐 merci de vos retours.
