frank_spencer Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 The down side to koutoloufari is the big fucking hill coming back from hersonissos. Oh that and the antique plumbing meaning you can't flush your shitty bog roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Early November winter sunshine. CBA with going back to Cape Verde. Mrs won't go near the Canaries (TBF I've been more times than I can count). Are we stuck with T'egypt if we are chasing the sun? Had a quick gander - Sunrise Royal Aqua Makadi Bay - has a few waterslides - beach has coral within a few feet of getting in, pools are heated. Alternatives Albatros Citadel at Sahl Hasheesh or Sentido Mamlouk nearer to Hurghada itself. Anyone been any of these 3???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its usually mid 70s in Southern Spain early November and very pleasant, worth a second look as it will be cheap flights as well. If you want heated pool try the Villitania hotel a few miles outside Benidorm (its a different world from Benidorm) it has an outdoor heated pool, its a Melia Hotel.

Youri McAnespie Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Jordan and Israel - anyone been? Especially land border crossings between the two, Visas etc. I know there's Google but I trust the seasoned travellers advice off here more better.

Went to Taba in Egypt a few years ago and you can see them from the coast , was going to go on a day trip to Jordan then a car bomb went off the night before and spoiled it for everyone Taba was lovely, really secluded in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah, I did similar. Went to Jerusalem on a day tour. Border was fine but it was really militarized as I perhaps should have expected. You don't need a visa for Israel. I think you do for Jordan but I think it's just an online formality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to both, Jordan on a cruise, so didn’t take the county in as we sailed into port aquaba and just stayed on the boat, Israel stayed in Eilat, really enjoyed it but was about 20 years ago, went north to tell aviv via the Dead Sea, and Jerusalem tour which is a weird place but a must do, missed a trick by not taking in Petra, stayed in the hotel sport which was decent back then.

Like others, did Taba and took the day trip to Jordan. Boat over to the port of Aqaba and then bus to Petra. Was stunning. Don’t recall any fuss with visas.
