While the rising costs and crowds could never keep us from coming back, there’s no denying they can dim the magic a little. We are Travel Off Path, after all, and our main …

Picturesque pebbly beaches straddling azure bays (with what’s probably an ancient castle or Roman ruin in the background), soft lemon gelato, and blood-orange-tinged sunsets: There’s nothing quite like a European summer, and if you’re anything like us, you’ve been saving up for months for that idyllic Transatlantic getaway in July-August.
