Going to Maine

[kksfish]

Hi everyone!
In July the DW and I will be taking the month to travel to Maine, our first visit !

Looking for a recommendation on where to go and where to stay for a week or ten days? Hoping to avoid some of the crowds and more interested in dining, micro brews, and scenery plus some local or regional activities. Would appreciate any info on CG near that area as well. We will take a week to drive there and a week home...and yes I am familiar I-95 and will avoid traveling on it! That’s why I am taking a week for travel in both directions....

Thanks in advance for the recommendations
