Prices looked reasonable, from around 500 Euro/night. Of course, "from" is a jumping-off point and when I looked at our dates (early August), they basically doubled. That killed it for us, but at least now that we have a reference point for the experience we want. With that in mind, I'm hoping FT could put our collective wisdom together and find a cheaper alternative somewhere in Europe. It honestly doesn't matter where - living in a Delta hub (MSP), we can probably get to most places with one stop either in CDG or AMS. Appreciate any and all ideas!
Early August.... This year? I.e., in the next week? The flights are going to be pricey regardless, and there aren't going to be very many places with no people around....or that aren't going to be expensive. This is peak season for the Mediterranean.
