My partner hates to travel. So after 19 years, here is what we have figured out:

1. I travel without him. I've logged 30,000 miles without my partner in the past year. I travel with friends or I meet up with friends at some destination.

2. If he goes, we only travel 1st class (biz in a pinch) and stay at 5* hotels. I make the travel easy for him. I also know he likes places with nice cafes and cool bars.

We just did two weeks in Greece and I think he had fun. Athens is kind of a pit but a 5* hotel helps!

Mykonos and Corfu are wonderful.
