In praise of Acrocorinth

In praise of Acrocorinth

We were in the Peloponnese region for about two weeks in April (Kalo Pascha!) and one of the absolute highlights of the trip was Acrocorinth. Not Ancient Corinth, but Acrocorinth. If you are anywhere near Corinthos and have a couple hours (minimum), do yourself a favor and go there. Not only is the place amazing, with incredible views, but we hit it during spring wildflowers. We loved it so much that we stopped again on our way back out of the Peloponnese as well as our initial stop on the way in.

Sep/Oct itinerary advice

My wife and I spent five days in Florence over Christmas 2024 and have been to Rome several times in the past couple years. My wife really wants to see Tuscany in fall and I have hotel reservations for Tuscany in late September / early October this year. I made the reservations last fall and included some days in Rome at the end, but much as we love Rome, we ended up being there this spring (Buona Pascua!) and are not feeling like we need to go back quite so soon. Am looking for suggestions on what to put in the place of Rome in the following itinerary. I don't know whether I could extend any of the current cities (would require that rooms be available in any subsequent hotels so that I could change those reservations also).

Thoughts? Obvious is Venice. Maybe head to the mountains (Dolomites)? What other locations in Tuscany/nearby would you recommend--given where we're already planning to go? (We will be day-tripping to San Gimignano, Pienza, and several other towns near where we are staying.)

Where can you fly to nonstop from FLR for cheap and maybe do a couple days someplace else?

Thanks for any suggestions!

PS: what is post "flair" and why did I have to add it?? Confused!
