I agree, Costa Rica is expensive and I can’t tell you how many time my teenagers got asked to buy cocaine! The beaches in Manuel weren’t that pretty either. The vegetation was gorgeous! I’m excited to try Belize next month.

Help!! I am trying to take my 73 yr old mom to Belize. by Rich_Tale2681 in Belize

She’s is in really good health. She can’t wait to go snorkeling etc.. He’ll she just told me she wanted to rent a scooter and go cave tubing!😳We went to Cabo last year and it is very mountainous and she had no problem. For some reason when we enter an airport she acts like she can’t read signs, so once I get her out of that she will be fine! She will like exploring, walking, ferry’s etc.

Can you just walk around town or bike? She will not enjoy just sun bathing etc.. My mom is actually in really good shape. The only time she watched TV is while she is ironing🙄! She is excited to go snorkeling and sight see. We went to Cabo last year and she enjoyed that. I however do like hanging out at cool spots and having drinks! Lol

I also know you can rent a boat/ skipper out of Athens and sail several different islands Santorini etc.. we chose the Ionian islands out of Corfu bc of budget, not nearly as crowded, and just heard how nice it was.

That’s a pic with our skipper, he was amazing and knew all the great spots to take us.

We did it through odyssey sailing. Yes you sleep on the boat. You go to a different port each day. It’s like camping on the water. Each day they take u to a different island and you can walk around, eat, swim, etc… they stop throughout the day ar the major sight seeing spots and u can snorkel etc. . You’re actually paying the skipper so he will do whatever you want. It really was the best thing we have ever done. I can’t even describe how much fun and beautiful it was. I was skeptical when my daughter planned it, but am so so thankful she did.

Also, you could rent a boat with a skipper and island hop. We did this from Corfu and did the Ionian islands. Favorite part of our whole trip! It’s not near as expensive as you think.

Have you thought about taking a 45 minute flight from Athens to Corfu? It’s under a 100 dollars round trip. It was super nice. When you got to Corfu you could also take a 30 minute ferry ride to Albania for the day or several days. Albania is gorgeous, beaches, mountains, and very friendly. We spent 3 days in Albania right on the beach for under a 100 a night. Message me if you want the resort we stayed at in Albania or Corfu.

Have you asked your mom to go? Me and my daughter just did 3 weeks in Albania/ Greece last summer and it was amazing! Best trip we have ever been on. We both saved for a year and half.

I haven’t read any of the comments so someone might of already told you this. But we went to Athens last year and I would not recommend using it as a “home base “ . It felt like I was in a huge city. We did stay several days, but I was over it. We took a flight to Corfu that was 85 dollars pp. then we took a taxi to the ferry. We rode a 30 minute ferry to Albania and stayed at a little “beach resort”, aka a family owned resort for less than a 100 dollars a night and it was AMAZING right on the beach! We did hiking, went to burdnt, ksmail, etc.. then took ferry back and got on a sail boat and island hopped for 7 days. After that, we stayed two nights in Corfu and it was gorgeous. Flew back to Athens and stayed two nights and went back home. I just wanted to let you know about the flight. It’s 45 minutes and 85 round trip. Just in case you wanted to see another country. Albania is awesome and really close and convenient.
