foxfanazer Posted 6 March 2013 Posted 6 March 2013 First lads holiday going to either Magaluf, Zante or Malia. I've looked at the prices and Magaluf is so much cheaper, but the others are said to be better. Anyone recommend any of the 3 against the others listed? Take a look at Sunny Beach in Bulgaria mate. It's mental!Average beer price is about 30p and shorts about £1 The weather is fantastic and the nightlife is amazing Went there last June and want to go again this year
FoxesAreBlue Posted 6 March 2013 Posted 6 March 2013 Anyone got any recommendations for a a weekend away. Not to far. Done the usual trips to the races and theater breaks over here. Fancy doing paris or brussels etc that sort of thing leaving friday and coming back sunday. Amsterdam
James. Posted 7 March 2013 Posted 7 March 2013 Anyone got any recommendations for a a weekend away. Not to far. Done the usual trips to the races and theater breaks over here. Fancy doing paris or brussels etc that sort of thing leaving friday and coming back sunday. Porto, particularly if you like port, is a great place to spend a weekend. I'd also highly recommend Berlin, even more so if you like a good, hard, German techno night. Otherwise Barcelona is one of the truly great all round European cities, Krakow is excellent if you like concentration camps and cheap beer and finally Istanbul is one of my all time favourite city breaks (although might need a bit more than just a weekend).
FoxLAD Posted 7 March 2013 Posted 7 March 2013 Take a look at Sunny Beach in Bulgaria mate. It's mental! Average beer price is about 30p and shorts about £1 The weather is fantastic and the nightlife is amazing Went there last June and want to go again this year I've wanted to go there! But my mates always want to go to a Greek island or Ibiza/Maga
foxfanazer Posted 7 March 2013 Posted 7 March 2013 I've wanted to go there! But my mates always want to go to a Greek island or Ibiza/Maga Persuade them mate. I've been to Ibiza and SB Is so much better imo and a thousand times cheaper
Uncle Albert Posted 7 March 2013 Posted 7 March 2013 Persuade them mate. I've been to Ibiza and SB Is so much better imo and a thousand times cheaper Sunny Beach is not better than Ibiza, I've been Sunny Beach it's cheap but not great.
foxfanazer Posted 7 March 2013 Posted 7 March 2013 Sunny Beach is not better than Ibiza, I've been Sunny Beach it's cheap but not great. Really? When did u go? We loved it! Then again there were more of us that went sunny beach than ibiza. I just thought Ibiza was far too overpriced for what it was
Uncle Albert Posted 7 March 2013 Posted 7 March 2013 Really? When did u go? We loved it! Then again there were more of us that went sunny beach than ibiza. I just thought Ibiza was far too overpriced for what it was I went 2 years ago now, not many Brits out there compared to your Magas, Ibizas and Greek islands. For a first lads holiday I would go Zante or Kavos!

For a first lads holiday I would go Zante or Kavos! Loads of Brits there last year, not that I'm too bothered about going somewhere with a load of brits
ousefox Posted 7 March 2013 Posted 7 March 2013 Yep zante is quality for a first lads holiday. Hope I can get a last min deal to go somewhere with a few of the lads this summer
ScouseFox Posted 7 March 2013 Posted 7 March 2013 Yeah, add another vote to Zante for your first "lads" holiday. Loved it.
Head Honcho Posted 7 March 2013 Posted 7 March 2013 Flying to Toronto on June 13th for 4 days and then flying to Boston and flying back from New York 10 days later. So we'll have 10 days to do what we want between Boston and New York so if anyone has any ideas we'd be grateful.
RonnieTodger Posted 8 March 2013 Posted 8 March 2013 Sounds like Zante is the best then, cheers. I don't mind paying more if it's better. Found some cracking deals for Magaluf though.

Guest MattP Posted 8 March 2013 Posted 8 March 2013 Sounds like Zante is the best then, cheers. I don't mind paying more if it's better. Found some cracking deals for Magaluf though. Not usually my sort of place but I did Magaluf for a stag do last summer and loved it, cheap as fcuk and everyone up for a laugh.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 9 March 2013 Posted 9 March 2013 Good city breaks include places like Budapest, Prague, Tallinn, Rome, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Heksinki, Bruges and if you can get a visa St Petersburg
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 9 March 2013 Posted 9 March 2013 Been to all the ones Carlito has listed and i would say the best are Tallin, Budapest, St. petersburg, Stockholm and Copenhage last 3 are a bit pricey tho
Ozwin Posted 11 March 2013 Author Posted 11 March 2013 So close to booking a few days in Turkey by myself but I keep telling myself it's a bit weird and I'll probably hate being by myself after a day.
Reynard Bleu Posted 12 March 2013 Posted 12 March 2013 So close to booking a few days in Turkey by myself but I keep telling myself it's a bit weird and I'll probably hate being by myself after a day. The Turks are a friendly and hospitable people, particularly in the smaller resorts. Go for it , enjoy the peace and being able to do what you want when you want. Visit some of the fantastic ancient sites in a wonderful country.
Head Honcho Posted 12 March 2013 Posted 12 March 2013 So close to booking a few days in Turkey by myself but I keep telling myself it's a bit weird and I'll probably hate being by myself after a day. Here's a good tip for you.Instead of going to a resort consider flying to Istanbul and tour the towns on The Bosphorus and slip in a couple of days in Istanbul. Stunning scenery and cheap as chips. I travelled from Istanbul to Kilyos, takes about an hour but I hopped on and off at all the towns on the way. Istinye, Sariyer, Yenikoy and Tarabya being the highlights. You could easily spend a few days checking them all out and the Istanbul nightlife moves to this area in summer so no shortage of pubs and clubs. Be sure to go when the Istanbul weather is at it's best as it can get chilly in early and late summer.
Alexikokopops Posted 12 March 2013 Posted 12 March 2013 Yeah, there is so much more to Turkey than the resorts. I went at the end if last year for a couple of weeks and the only bit I didn't like was when we accidentally ended up in Oludeniz which was just full of English people and Sky Sports. It's a beautiful country.
Head Honcho Posted 12 March 2013 Posted 12 March 2013 From Toronto take a day trip to Niagara falls,absolutely amazing Yeh cheers looking to spend our first night in a hotel overlooking the falls before heading back to Toronto for the weekend. Maybe we should do it the other way around and spend our last night there!

Lots of good street food, so much to see and do, and plenty of opportunities to meet like-minded travellers.
