Amsterdam and or Germany.  Really a lot of the country's are so small and close. You can take the train and be there in no time.

Do you recommend getting a e sim for the phones? Trying to plan details for a trip we are taking in a few months. I have been looking into it and I find you can buy an e Sims for multiple areas but can't figure out how you switch each time..
Itinerary is...
2 day layover in iceland
4 days Barcelona
10 day cruise France, 3 stops in Italy, 3 stops in Greece, 2 stops in Turkey.
5 days istanbul
2 day layover in london.
Input and advice appreciated.. also questions about experience shipping stuff home.. got a bad feeling about the wife and shopping habits.......

Call your mobile company. There are fairly cheap plans for calling in and from Europe.

 :yeah:

We have T-mobile and got every country we needed for free.  Some plans allow you to add a bunch of countries for a few bucks, much easier than juggling sim cards every time you cross a border.

We use Verizon and get the travel pass.  Works in 210 countries.  Better coverage than in the US.

Turkey is cool but just be aware that every "tour" will have a stop where they try to sell you a rug or pottery. 
If you do make it to Bayeux I recommend eating at "La Rapiere" https://www.larapiere.net/

if you have time stop in Eze. It’s between Nice and Monaco.  Cool little city in the hills.

In Istanbul, definitely hit the Hagia Sophia.  Buy both passes, the mosque and the museum and hit the museum first.  It's an incredible museum that gives background on the history of the building which helps to better appreciate what you see. 

The grand bazar is pretty lame, I only went to walk through the same entrances that Marco Polo did.  There are tons of better places if you want to buy anything or just stroll the streets.
