A full day can be a lot unless you are doing Universal Studios, maybe combine a few hours at Palawan Beach with the sunset view and dinner on the mainland.

Taxi seems easy but expensive for a week trip, should I stick to the MRT mostly.

The overnight train is a classic experience, definitely book a soft sleeper cabin for comfort and security. Buses are cheaper but less comfortable for long hauls.

The overnight cruise prices seem high, are the views really that spectacular or is Ninh Binh a better choice for limestone karsts scenery!

I totally agree. Starting the day with genuinely fresh bread and those sweet pastries is a game-changer. It makes a normal breakfast feel like a real treat. Nothing beats that fresh-baked smell.

Those places are truly magical. The half-timbered houses and cobblestone alleys in towns like Rothenburg really create the perfect fairytale atmosphere. It is the best kind of time travel, and they are beautiful to see in person.

That sounds incredibly exciting. Walking across the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge with that cliff edge view must be a real adrenaline rush. It definitely sounds like a must-see for the thrill and the scenery alone. So glad you enjoyed it.

It really is a charming, slightly self-deprecating cultural habit. It's hard not to find it endearing sometimes.

You must be talking about Manti! They are an absolute revelation. I agree, that combination of tiny dumplings, yogurt, and garlic is so good. If you are in Istanbul, a place called Suriçi Manti is famous for doing them perfectly. I hope you get to try them again soon.

Ephesus is amazing, and that Celsus Library facade is just stunning. I agree that some context is crucial there. A self-guided audio tour is a great alternative if you want to move at your own pace but still get all the history and detail. It's often the perfect middle ground.

The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento is incredible. The preservation is amazing, and I agree that seeing those massive structures at sunset is a magical, ancient feeling. It truly is one of the most stunning historical sites out there. I am glad you got to experience it.

Naples coffee culture is truly on another level. For a coffee enthusiast, you absolutely have to visit Gran Caffè Gambrinus. It's classic, historic, and they make a perfect Neapolitan espresso. It is a must-see.

Yes, it is absolutely true and it is one of the best things about Granada. The free tapas tradition there is legendary and makes it such a fun, affordable city to explore. You can practically make a dinner out of just a few rounds of drinks. Great value.

I absolutely agree. Even just a few polite words in the local language makes a huge difference. It shows respect and people are always much warmer and more helpful when they see you are trying. It just makes the whole experience smoother and better.
