Cheesy title I know, but classic really. I'm heading to Switzerland from Pamplona in July (after the running of the bulls) and from there through Italy to Greece. I need some help deciding where to go and what to see over a 6-8 week period. I am budgeting, so hostels and pensions - have done camping in Europe and I like a mattress! I'm interested in everything, but seeing as though it will be peak season I would like to find smaller places to stay (Amalfi coast??) where people are friendly and there are smaller queues. If anyone has been to Cesky Krumlov in Czech Republic you'll know what I like. I will have to go to Rome (of course) but other than that I'm not too keen on major cities. Thanks

Between Switerland and Greece there is certainly a lot of
territory to cover. The Amalfi Coast is beautiful, but don't
expect it to be either cheap or lacking in tourists. The
Cinque Terre is still popular, but still less so than Amalfi.
The Tuscan Hills are full of lovely towns, but in summer you
will have to hunt for those 'out of the way' places.
If you're spending time in Greece, and want to avoid the
crowds and meet some 'real' Greeks, don't just limit your
self to the Islands and Athens. Lot of places in the Mani
(Southern Peloponesse) are traveler friendly but no too over
run. Further North Ionannina is worth a look, and you can't
miss Meteora, although at the moment Thessaloniki might be
worth missing, based on its proximity to Macedonia. Expolore
and have a great trip
