Will you help me plan my trip to Europe?

some suggestions: if you go in late feb start in Spain, you will catch carnival; best place is Cadiz!! You can fly into Sevilla & take a train from Santa Justa train station or bus from Plaza de Armas into Cadiz, but book early all of Sevilla will be heading into Cadiz!!! Once your in europe you can get some great deals, check airlines like Ryan Air, but plan airlines like this only fly in & out limits airports. Check their wesite and under destinations it will give you a map of the airline routes.

In late February - early March the weather could be cold and foggy here, in northern Italy. A better choice might be April - May it's still before tourist season starts, but good weather and lots of festivals. Barcelona is a good choice in Spain. In Italy, you could go from Venice to Florence to Rome then on to Bari and catch a boat to Santorini. There are lots of museums, art galleries, etc on days when the weather isn't so good, but they're all good places to be out when it is nice. Spain, Italy, and Greece are doable in a three week period. I wouldn't recommend planning much more than that or you'll be spending all your time in transit. www.venere.com is a reliable site for finding hotels in the various locations. You shouldn't have a problem finding a place to stay on arrival at that time of year. Most of the train stations and airports in the major cities have reservations offices. This would provide a lot of flexibility in your schedule. You might be more comfortable knowing that you have reservations though. There are lots of websites to check airfares. Expedia.com is pretty good or http://farechase.yahoo.com/. You don't necessarily need a travel agent, but a good one can be helpful. I usually find the flights I want on-line and go to a travel agent to print the tickets if electronic tickets aren't available for the flights I want. The trains are a good way to travel in Europe. For the longer trips like Barcelona to Italy, you might consider using the night trains. You can sleep through the night, and have a full day at your destination. Often the trains are cheaper than a hotel for the night. For trains in Italy, see: http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html. The German train site is useful for planning train travel throughout Europe: http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en Look for local festivals. There are often opportunities to try the authentic local foods and learn more about life at your destination. When you're in Italy some things, like fresh fish, may be priced per etto. Unfortunately, Carnevale will be early in 2008 - 25th Jan to 8th Feb in Venice.

1-Spain: Madrid - Barcelona - Seville - Toledo. Italy : Rome - Florence - Venice. Greece: Athens - Mykonos 3 weeks are enough, but don't expect to see everything. You should allow 3 days for each city. Stick to the main sights this time. Be selective. If you're going in February, forget about Greece. There's nothing to do there at that time. 2-Consider flying 'open jaw'. Fly into Spain (Madrid) and out of Greece (Athens) to avoid backtracking. The earlier you order your tickets the better. A travel agent is helpful but not necessary. 3-Mode of transportation: Train between Spain and Italy, and ferry or budget airline between Italy and Greece. Plan your train schedule here. http://www.bahn.de 4-February and March are not the best times to visit Spain, Italy and Greece. Especially Greece, which is famous for its beaches. 5-Stay in hostels and bed and breakfast. http://www.hostelz.com http://www.bedandbreakfasteurope.com 6-Here's a good planning website. You can plan your whole itinerary via this website, but make sure to sign up. http://www.europetracker.com 7-Other tips: http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/tips/tips_menu.htm Contact me if you need more information.

the greek island it's called Santorini and it's really beautiful. Still my fav country is Spain. Don't miss Barcelona and i would suggest before you go to Italy, check Azure Coast in France and Monte Carlo have fun
