I haven't been to Greece but Barcelona is gorgeous. The beaches in Croatia are good too (stoney but warm clear sea).

I would highly recommend San Sebastian, in Spain! So fun, relaxing. Amazing beach, total foodie heaven.

I just shot a wedding in Ireland (in June) and though I wanted to head off afterwards to somewhere in Europe I ended up staying my extra week in Ireland and do not regret the decision. Might I suggest the same? Ireland is such a beautiful country; there is so much to see and the people are quite lovely as well....

Come to Spain Sarah! you won't regret it!! great weather, yummy food and nice people. If you're around Barcelona I'd suggest going to Girona (Costa Brava) there are beautiful little villages in the coast like Begur, Palafrugell and Tamariu.

Hi!Well,if you're going to Greece,then definitely Skiathos!Or Sithonia..
Someone said that sea in Croatia was warm,I have to say that was probably a lucky incident,Adriatic is so cold...If you lean towards Spain,I'd suggest Barcelona,beach is fun,sea is warm,and then there's,well,Barcelona!If you need any other information feel free to ask,I'm from Europe so I've been pretty much everywhere,especially in Greece.

Croatia!! Stunning beaches, amazing food, easy and beautiful island hopping, incredible history. Did I mention super affordable? We were there a couple summers ago and loved it - happy planning!
