Is Is Argentina cheap or expensive right now for the US traveler? I am receiving some very mixed results on this topic! I am planning a trip there (for at least 2 weeks) in February.

My group is deciding on going for a high school grad trip at the end of may for a week. We live in Europe so we’re between Santorini and Zakynthos and I just wanted to know from anyone’s personal experience which is better and cheaper?? I’m getting mixed answers online from bloggers.

I only hear about car renting but if I search up online it says that both islands have good public transport…
