Shop 'til you drop in exotic Europe

Charis Atlas Heelan of Frommer's posted this past Thursday a list of tips for shopping in exotic locations (Shanghai, Bangkok, Seoul, Hong Kong, but also Athens, and Istanbul.)

We find out that shopping in Euros is not necessarily scary if you know where to look in Athens, and that Turkey is, in addition to socks, a major clothing brand producer.

So if you are to heed Ms. Heelan's advice, go on a shopping spree in Athens and Istanbul. And here's the package to help you do it: Athens and Istanbul by Air - 6 nights from $745 - if you travel by the end of March.
