How to get the most out of two weeks in Europe

I just traveled to five countries in Europe in two weeks. That might sound like a lot, but in Europe, people do it all the time! For most US-Americans, one of the biggest barriers to international travel is our relatively small amount of vacation time. If you only get 2-3 weeks of vacation from work (which is the unfortunate standard for many of us), using that time to travel across the pond to visit one place can seem like a waste.

Living in Reykjavik, a tiny capital with big city perks

Despite being one of Europe’s smallest capital cities, the lively Icelandic hotspot offers all the cultural perks of a much larger place.

Bright-eyed, ’80s-hair college graduate Sally (Meg Ryan, at her peak) perkily uttered that enthusiastic assessment of big city life to Harry (Billy Crystal, at his) during the opening road trip of 1989’s sincerely rom-, indisputably com classic, When Harry Met Sally… and she wasn’t wrong. Everyone knows New York is where things happen, and the film’s Manhattan had never looked more happening. Even 25 years after its debut, the movie has everything: autumnal walks in Central Park, huge apartments with impressive views, fake orgasms over impossibly thick pastrami sandwiches.

Crete: The island of archaeology and powder-soft beaches

Heraklion, the Cretan capital, was Europe’s fastest-growing tourism destination of 2017. Those visitors are coming to Greece’s largest, most diverse island to enjoy 3,000 square miles of mountains, valleys and sandy shores lapped by the Aegean and Libyan seas — as well as 3,000 hours of sunshine a year.
