Help me decide on a summer holiday please

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

We usually go to one of the quieter resorts on a Greek island, which is perfect for us but tbh we think we should probably see more of the world.

SO - where would be good? It doesn't necessarily have to have a beach but it does have to be pretty much guaranteed that I won't get rained on! Doesn't have to be hot, although warm would be nice.

Needs to not rely on driving at all. Needs to be no more than £2500 max for 4 of us, and probably either b&b or self catering with nice places to eat out in the evenings.

So far I'm wondering about maybe somewhere in Italy. Or would Poland work? Might it be possible to have maybe 5 days in Krakow and then a couple of days elsewhere? Or is there anywhere in Germany perhaps? I have no idea!

Dp and 1 plus teen dds - it may well be our last holiday with both dds, although I hope not. We like exploring, museums, eating out, walking etc. And I hate crowds.

Any ideas much appreciated. Oh and no camping!

here in the South of France where I know for a fact that nobody would come to help if I were attacked

Is this true Cote...any personal experience? I spend a lot of time alone in France and wonder about safety. My mutt is less than ideal as a guard dog.

Yes, it's personal experience plus what I hear from friends.

I was stuck in traffic on Promenade des Anglais (seaside main road) in Nice in broad daylight when a mad man tried to open my car's doors and get inside. Thankfully I saw him coming and locked them. Then he started banging on my windows. Not one person came to my help, although by this point I was honking the horn pretty desperately. Drivers in the other cars around me were looking elsewhere and so were the hundreds of pedestrians around us. Thankfully cars started moving and I eventually got away.

This would never happen in Turkey. People would help, especially if the person being harassed is a single woman.

That is pretty shocking! I cannot understand how people can look away when someone, especially a lone woman, is being harassed and intimidated

Did it make you want to move away? I love our place in France, but sometimes wonder if we made the wrong decision from a cultural perspective.

Turkey sounds lovely! Along with Morocco, we will put it on our 'must see' list. Thanks

don't judge the south of France by Nice

Thanks for the Turkey info, Cote. Will do some more googling.

Horrible re people ignoring you during potential car-jacking incident.
