Around the Mediterranean in $400s-$490s RT

Fun fact: Studies show that the Mediterranean diet, a cuisine and culture so iconic it was honored by the UN, is associated with heart health, weight loss, and an overall reduction in early mortality.

Therefore, I think it's totally reasonable to say that flying to southern Europe and spending a week chowing down on moussaka and baklava is the best thing you can do for your health. A Mediterranean vacation might be the only thing standing between you and an early grave!

Luckily, we happened to find a ton of super cheap flights to the south of Europe. We've got the usual favorites like Milan and Athens, but check out the rarer spots too—Tirana and Cyprus are pretty terrific this time of year!

Sure, you could stay healthy by eating vegetables and going to the gym. But this way seems a lot more fun :-)
