hey guys first time poster long time reader

me and 3 of my buddies are planning a Eurotrip this April/may, we are planning on staying in hostels the whole trip, with the exception of a night or two in a hotel

we are planning on visiting the following destinations:

-Greece (iios and santorini, 3 days each)
-Rome 3 days
-Amsterdam 4 days
-London 3 days
-Barca 4 days
-Ibiza 3 days

were wondering how much a trip like this would cost approx., what cities are more less expensive, whether its cheaper to fly, ferry or take the train, what hostels are the best in theses cities and their prices…??? pretty much anything would be great

I am leaving from Tel Aviv, Israel with $5000 for 75 days
Split, Hvar, Pag, Jezerce, Budapest, Brno, Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Interlaken, Florence, Barcelona, Ibiza Town, Buñol, Valencia, Córdoba, Seville, Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakech, Chefchaouene

When do you leave? You might enjoy Queensday in Amsterdam.
Start looking at Barca hostels soon—seems like the good ones book up fast.
Others might disagree, but I’d say London is the most expensive, perhaps followed by Amsterdam.
Have you figured out where you are flying in to and do you have those tickets yet?
You could ferry or fly between Italy and Greece, you can fly just about anywhere, and cheaply, too, if you figure out your itinerary enough time ahead.
Just my opinion, but if ferrying time allows, you could probably shave a day off Ios and Santorini each, and then add another island.

I think flying would be the best option for many of those cities as they are scattered. Yea, Cil’s right, London will be the most expensive, followed by Amsterdam and Rome.

I am leaving from New York, NY and traveling for 64 days

Stay at Kabul hostel in Barca. The best hostel. Queen’s day is a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.

If you’re a long-time reader, maybe you know we have a Hostels forum.Smile
It’s easy to google hostels and book online, though.
We also have a Transport forum for transportation logistics, but you need to figure out your itinerary.
FlyCheapo can help you with routes.
Air Canada has some decent airfares these days, we are using them ourselves in late April/early May.
Maybe you can begin in Amsterdam, then head to London, and from there get a low-cost flight to Athens. If you can find an affordable open jaw ticket, that would help you, otherwise you will have to loop back to Amsterdam.
