Looking for a nice vacation spot for 4-5 guys aged low 20s after pesach, preferably otw way to Israel (from NYC), not too expensive, not history based vacation. Which spot was most enjoyable for you?
Varna and Sofia, Bulgaria! They’re beautiful, a ton to do, dirt cheap, and they have direct flights to Israel.

I think we're settling in on Italy; Venice, Florence, and Rome seem like places we would enjoy. Multi city flights from NYC are less than $400. Do you think there's more to do in Bulgaria?

Italy is much more practical kosherwise and has much more things to do. I thought you’re looking for something out of the norm. But definitely Italy over Bulgaria!

You're going to need to narrow it down - part of the world? What do you want to do?
I would love to do Europe if I find a place that'll be child-friendly. I went to Paris & Switzerland with a 1-year old, but now he has a younger brother that wants to join the trip  ;).

Assuming that these are Low-Cost Airlines. I hope you're aware that baggage isn't included in most of these flights even NYC-Europe.

ElAl may not be Low-Cost but definitely Poor Quality.

I wouldn't go there for 7-10 days, of course you'll find stuff to do no matter how long you stay there,
IMO max 7 days 5 days is perfect.
