Where Should I go: Syros or Fussen?
Syros
Syros may not be as well-known as Santorini or Mykonos, but this enchanting Greek island in the Cyclades has its own unique charms that are well worth discovering. From its neoclassical capital Ermoupoli to its idyllic villages and pristine beaches, Syros offers a delightful blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. While Syros is less expensive than some of the more famous Greek islands, it's still wise to plan your trip carefully if you're on a tight budget. The shoulder months of April-May and September-October offer pleasant weather and lower prices on accommodations. Budget travelers can find rooms for as little as €20-40 per night, or opt for camping around €5 per person. Eating at casual tavernas and buying food from local markets can also help keep costs down.
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.
