Taking the Girlfriend on holiday but where?

Hi,

I want to take the girlfriend on a holiday in the coming summer but not sure where exactly to go. We are both 19 years old. I also got probably a couple of mates coming but looking to go some place where theres a lot to do.

Can anyone recommend me a good place which aint too expensive.

I would love to have gone NYC but its just too expensive for a 2 week stay. I dont think they can have 2 people in a 1 bedroom hotel place :D

  • depends what type of holiday you want

    eastern europe (ie budapest etc) is chaeap as chips
    A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.
  • Egypt is a good alternative place to visit.

    It is reasonably cheap to get to & very cheap once you are there.

    Try the Red Sea Resorts.

    Diving, sun, a trip to Cairo maybe?

    Go to Malia. You've got the nightlife and a decent beach. You've also got the old town if you fancy it quiet (although at 19 i can't see why you would). You've also got Star Beach not far away if you fancy something different during the day.
    With it being a popular resort you've the usual water sports down the beach and also excursions, booze cruise, shopping trips, nice boat trips etc.

    Plus if you go after mid june it's not too expensive as all the bars and clubs do 2-4-1 / 3-4-1 drinks offers.

    Does she know? 2's company 4's nearly a football team.
  • yeah she knows

    I was thinking of maybe going to the south of france, also Monaco but is that just too expensive?

    I am going in the summer time, the flight budget is probably £100-£200 and the hotel must be cheap as possible but dont want the whole holiday to go over 1k.

  • Hey,

    When I was 19 I went to Lindos in Rhodes with my girlfriend and it was awesome.

    Nice quiet resort that is very unique, and if you want there are good bars and clubs and if you want something a bit more in your face rhodes town and stuff is a short journey away.

    The food is nice and all restaurants are on roof tops so you have a view over the whole town.

    If you need more information or pictures or anything feel free to ask.
