Help choosing destination
Hi,
I will travel with my girlfriend around the 1st of May but we have three options: Amsterdam, Azure coast or Istanbul.
Let me first tell you about them a little bit.
Amsterdam
It is a 7 day trip (3 nights sleep). First we would visit Munich and be there for 8h sightseeing and visiting Hofbrauhaus brewery, and then continue for Amsterdam where we would get the next day. The first day in Amsterdam we will be mostly sightseeing, take a ride in a boat on canals and we will visit a pub. The second day there is Queen's Day celebration. Third day we are free to do anything on our own. The fourth day Zaanse Schans and Volendam. In the evening we are leaving Amsterdam and going to Vienna. The next day we will spend in Vienna and that is it.
Azure coast
It is 6 day trip (3 nights). We would stay in Nice.
Day 1- Nice sightseeing
Day 2- visit to Saint Tropez, Caen, Antibes.
Day 3- Monaco, Monte Carlo, Menton
Day 4- We are leaving Nice and going to San Remo and Genova and that is it.
Between those visits we will have some free time in Nice to do something on our own.
Istanbul
It is also 6 day trip (3 nights).
Day 1 - sightseeing and free time
Day 2 - visiting more sights, free time and in the evening Turkish night (a dinner in a restaurant and belly dance).
Day 3 - cruising Phosphorus
Day 4 - free time and in the evening leaving Istanbul and that is it.
What would you suggest me to choose? I like all three options and cannot decide. Thank you

I'm confused too.
How can you possibly have only 3 nights in 6 days?
Are you planning on taking escorted tours? If so then I would not do any of them based on what you've given us. You don't say what sightseeing you'll be doing nor do you give a link to the tour which would be helpful in choosing one of them.
You're leaving in 2 weeks and have not booked anything?

There is a lot of time spent in travelling because it is a long way to those destinations so we could be 2 days in bus without sleeping in a hotel. But we are 23 and 21 and traveling with people of that age so it will not be much trouble.
I could give you links but they are in Serbian so I do not think that you'd understand.
Anyway, I would like to know which destination of the three is most interesting to visit.
There is free spots so it is not a problem.

They are all interesting places but for someone your age I would suggest Istanbul. I think you'll have the most fun there plus you will get to see something very different from Serbia. Because you have a short time it's better to go to one place so you will be able to see more sights and become familiar with one city.
Istanbul is a beautiful and colorful city and the history is very interesting. The mosques are so lovely. There are three small mosques near each other where you'll find few tourists and can spend some quiet time looking at the wonderful tiles. I can't remember all three but your guide will know them. One is the Yeni mosque. The Grand Bazaar and Spice Market have good shopping. The food is good and there is a good variety of flavorful vegetable dishes.
I think you'll like Istanbul very much.
