Venice, the “City of Canals,” is a romantic destination that takes on a different allure in the fall.
As the summer tourist crowds dissipate, Venice regains its tranquility. You can explore its iconic sites, such as St. Mark’s Basilica and the Rialto Bridge, without the usual crowds. Take a gondola ride through the narrow waterways, and as the city’s ethereal mist hangs in the air, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a dream. Pair your experience with a warm cup of hot chocolate or an aromatic coffee at a local café.
With its consistent winds and sun-baked islands, Greece is arguably the best place in Europe to go sailing. Spend your days cruising between rocky coves with impossibly clear water and tucking into olive oil-doused mezze at one of the many waterside tavernas. Here are the top postcard-perfect places to go sailing around Greece and its islands.
