If it's any consolation, my family in Greece tells me that Greece is considered to be less expensive than other EU countries...

Have fun regardless!

thanks ladies!!

I looked into prague. When DH went a few years ago he was getting 5* 4 course dinners for $5-$6 with drinks. From what I saw, now meals at those same places will run us like $200! WHAAAATTTT! Thats a huge difference in like 4 years!

Oh ya definatly! but it was just so cheap a few years ago we thought it would still be relatively cheap. But Nope!!!

I think Croatia was switching over to euro this year but my friends that have gone said it's like a small cheap italy. they really loved it and said the prices were decent.

I went to the UK in Oct and was relieved when I finally got to ireland. i never thought i'd be happy to pay euro prices, but after the pound i guess anything sounds cheap. it's really ridiculous.

not to mention it's going to get so bad here b/c they are offering importers more $$ for product so that drives up prices here and we get less product and less quality product, e.g. seafood, other commodities etc...

i def thought greece/turkey was an avg prices european HM. my mom paid 10K for the same trip over a decade ago. our trip came out to 12K (16K w/ taxes & a few excursions), but our hotels are amazing and we have 5 flights included.
