@3phish: "Isle Hope is probably one of the most beautiful marinas in the country with old historic homes on Bluff drive. Savannah has more to offer than river street and the downtown area. The golf is better and the ladies are gorgeous. Go boating to Wassaw and observe the beauty in the marshes"
The problem with a response like this is it is more for those who live in Savannah than those who visit. I don't go to any city for the marina - no matter how beautiful. I don't go to play golf - you can do that anywhere. I don't go to look at gorgeous ladies. How would a visitor go "boating" without joining some cheesy tourist trip? So while I'm sure its a wonderful place to live, I agree that Charleston is the better place to visit.

If anyone still cares about this thread:
Have been to both, once to Charleston, 6 times to Savannah. Loved them both. While Charleston is a bustling city and probably has more to do and see, there is something special about Savannah that you can't describe. It has kind of a laid back mystical appeal. There is just a feeling I get when you are there that I do not get anywhere else. It is almost like you have stepped back in time. While in Charleston we were always on the go seeing this place and that place and eating great food. When in Savannah, the best thing you can do is park yourself in one of the squares and just watch. You can almost feel the history that happened there.
Just my humble opinion!

Both are wonderful cities, you can't go wrong. I think Charleston and surrounds has a bit more to do, so I would say 2-3 days there. And 2 days in Savannah. Savannah feels like you are stepping back in time. The drive between them is also lovely. Have so much fun!

Welcome to Fodors Larissa8287. If you are planning a trip it is usually better to start a thread of your own with your specific questions, rather than tagging on to old moldy threads - especially a six year old one.
