When I was 18 and younger my idea of a great day in London was to wander around the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Natural History Museum or see a movie or a play in the West End. Not all teenagers are heedless hedonists without a cultural fibre in their bodies.
As far as Covid destinations are concerned, I would caution against the Greek Islands - every cruise company I know has chanelled all their ships to out-and-backs from Athens. That means the possibility of massive congestion everywhere, especially in places like Crete, Mykonos and Santorini.
