Where Should I go: Skyros or Fussen?
Skyros
Nestled in the Aegean Sea, Skyros is the largest and least explored island of the Sporades archipelago. With its rugged landscapes, pristine beaches, and rich cultural heritage, Skyros offers a unique Greek island experience away from the crowds. While Skyros is generally more affordable than popular Greek islands, smart planning can help stretch your budget further. Local accommodations can be found for low prices if you look in the right places. To save on meals, opt for local tavernas away from the main tourist areas. Many offer daily specials that are both delicious and affordable. The area around Molos Beach is known for its reasonably priced eateries.
Fussen
Fussen is a Bavarian town in Germany, just north of the Austrian border. Nestled at the foot of the Alps, tourist-busy Fussen is the southern climax of the Romantic Road, with the nearby castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau the highlight of many southern Germany trips. But besiders the country's most popular tourist route and Ludwig II's fantasy palaces, there are other reasons to linger longer in the area. Fussen's Gothic castle, Hohes Schloss, houses a regional art museum that is well worth a visit. The museum of St. Mang's abbey showcases Fussen's violin- and lute-making industry that is quite interesting for many. Nearby Tegelberg mountain has a ski resort, a panoramic cable car, and an alpine slide- all of which make for a great day of adventure. The town of Fussen is worth exploration, and, from here, you can easily escape from the crowds into a landscape of gentle hiking trails and Alpine vistas.
