Default What is your favorite European megalithic? (other than Stonehenge)

Not megaliths, but we did similar in Petra in the 1990s. Having 'suffered'
the package tour in the first half of the valley amid hundreds of others,
we spent the night in a nearby small hotel and were the first to walk into
Petra just after dawn. We had the entire valley to ourselves for an hour
or so. Total magic.


Ah, good tip. A little OT but we're visiting Israel/Jordan in April and
I'd wondered about spending a night in Petra just for that...
