For example, 3 to 5 days in Rome or Cairo may be enough to see all of the top sights, but you may find 3 to 5 days in other locations, like Crete, to feel rushed. In my experience, country hopping works best with a time frame of 3 to 6 days for each destination, allowing you enough time for a total of a 7-12 day trip. From a geographical standpoint, you'll also…...
