Pick by what you want
🇪🇬 Choose Egypt if
you want the oldest thing on this list, a river trip through it, and Red Sea diving, at prices nowhere in Europe matches.
🇭🇷 Choose Croatia if
you want the clearest water in Europe, walled old towns and national parks, in a country you can drive down in a day.
