The problem of choosing excursions is always very acute for tourists. To take or not to take - that is the question! . . : ) More precisely, not even so: if you take, then from whom?
At the end of July, I rested in Bulgaria, on Sunny Beach. It was a sin not to take the chance to visit Istanbul. Fortunately, the multi-Schengen in my passport allowed me to do this.
At the end of November, I managed to visit Hurghada once again. Egypt in those days was just preparing for the elections. Although in general everything was calm, but a certain tension and, most importantly, uncertainty about the future is felt.
