Where are all off to?

 

Where's the value > Brexit/collapse of the pound?

 

 

Greece is considerably more expensive than Turkey this summer

I have, lovely country.

Lake Bled

Ljubljana

Piran

Postijna caves

All worth a visit.

We hired a taxi driver for 3 days, who took us all over the west side of the country. Even went to Trieste and a trip into Croatia.

Definitely want to visit again before it's too late

Did you fly from Manchester? I seem to be struggling trying to find an airline that flies direct to Ljubljana from Manchester. I think Adria airlines might fly direct, but I'm not sure.

Is that cos you're much more likely to be hacked to bits?

Don't touch the money

 

Could you not have done greece for the same price?

 

Or albaniz

No basically. Resort looks nice though so will see

Adria do fly direct

We're in on a great deal; hope we make it back

It was 2006 & 2007 when I went. Flew from stansted using easyJet. Was a pain, but the only option then.

Worth the effort though????

For me, if you avoid Marmaris, Turkey can be lovely

 

Dalyan for instance is gorgeous, Turgetries is great for families and Gumbet can also be fantastic

Been to Turkey once, the hotel was brilliant and the staff just as good. Went into Bodrum one day, couldn't wait to get out of the fucking place.

Snap. But Belek. Hotel was one of the best I've stayed in.

 

Actually, tell a lie, spent 2 weeks in Marmaris..... was 13 days too many!

 

And a few nights in Istanbul. Had a better beach than Marmaris!

Is Antalya OK?

I did Istanbul for my 30th, one of the best cities I've ever been to, utterly fantastic, so much to do that everybody needs to go there at least once in their life

I've read that Kalkan is a very nice place to go.https://kalkanturkey.com/about_kalkan/

took him to Middlesbrough , spilled  beer all over my new people carrier.

 

scared for life

Agree.

Kalkan nice but Kas further round the coast is even nicer IMO. Both are easy reach to Patara beach and gorge and canyons. Very cheap at moment. Fly to Dalaman or Antalya and hire a car. World heritage sites nearby. People are lovely and less mither than other

Turkish "resorts".

For 2018 I want to do three weeks somwhere, June/July. DOnlt want to lounge around on sunbed for three weeks. Thought of Oz/NZ but wrong time of year?

 

Don't really fancy USA. Always fancied Japan.

 

Any ideas.

Russia for the World Cup

 

Only joking of course

 

I'd suggest you reconsider North America, even if you look at something a bit different like Canada

 

Japan is high on my list also, apparently April is the best time to go (so I've heard)

 

Other than that I'd suggest driving round Europe, me and the Mrs spent a month doing it last summer and loved it. We did a week in Northern Italy, through the South of France into Spain (San Sebastian) then up the Atlantic coast of France home. I really would recommend it highly, we set off from Chorley at 6am and were in Brussels by mid afternoon, its easier than you'd think

Northern Australia, as its the dry season, so best time to go

 

Bungle bungles, Ningaloo, Broome, Homestead areas Darwin?

Get round Europe. Me and the doris have got an interrail pass for July, the one we have got is 15 days travel in a 30 day period. Going to a few places round Germany, Austria and Swiss Alps

Might see you over there were going to Alsace region for a few days before heading down to the French Alps.

We're not going to be far from there Nobster - starting off in Bacharach on 1st July then 2 nights in Baden-Baden

Currently in Paphos. Have to say it seems a lot more expensive than last year but then the exchange rate is shit on the euro

OK is about where I'd put it. Hotels are quite good but very big and very busy and full of Ruskies. Fuck all to do outside the hotels - didn't find any streets to go wandering around to find bars. Basically a long strip of concrete with themed resorts like The Titanic
