Georgia
Tbilisi is the Caucasus rising — wine older than France, sulfur baths, and a food culture that astonishes.
Tbilisi is Georgia's affordable, charming capital — an old town of balconies and sulfur baths, churchkhela in the markets, and a wine tradition 8,000 years old. Eat khinkali and khachapuri, soak in a bath, and take the cable car to the fortress. One of the great value cities right now.

Croatia
Split is a Roman emperor's retirement palace — Diocletian's, still lived in, with the sea on one side and ferries to the islands on the other.
Finland
Helsinki is a Nordic capital by the Baltic — design, saunas, and a sea-archipelago on the doorstep.
France
Bordeaux is wine country in a city — a UNESCO riverfront of 18th-century stone and the world's wine capital.
Italy
Naples is Italy raw and real — pizza where it was invented, a castle over the bay, and Pompeii an hour away.

Thessaloniki is Greece's second city — Byzantine churches, a waterfront, and the best food in the country, Athenians say.

Bilbao is the Basque industrial city reborn by a Guggenheim — old and new in one rebuilt river town.
