Where Should I go: Skyros or Leipzig?
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.
Leipzig
Leipzig is a city in the eastern German state of Saxony. Leipzig is Saxony's coolest city, called "The New Berlin" by many. It is a playground for nomadic young creatives, but it's also a city of enormous history, a trade-fair mecca and foundational in the eyes of music lovers due to its intrinsic connection to the lives and work of Bach, Mendelssohn, and Wagner. When it comes to art, the neo-realistic New Leipzig School has stirred up the international art world for well over 10 years.
