I think the lumix 14-140 is one of the best zoom all around lenses. Personally I have taken some of my best photos with it. The Leica 12-60 would also be a great but expensive choice, starting from 12mm. I have the cheaper lumix 12-60 which is also fantastic.

Hi Yannis.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll be in Greece this fall and will be using the new lens, which one I'll decide on soon!

I was in Greece this past Summer and used the PL 12-60mm as my main lens:

But you'll see from my writeup that I missed the reach of the 14-140mm over the better IQ of the PL12-60mm.

The 14-140mm used to be my main travel lens and I think I'll be reverting to it for my next trip. Here's me using it for my trip to Vietnam last December:
