Any of the Greek islands I would say are your best bet for cheapness, I've been to Malia and Kavos, and both are really cheap, hard to get rid of your money. Really good local food for cheap.

Ibiza on the other hand is a money hole, the best place in the world, but it's so expensive, even trying to do it cheapily would be a nightmare I'd say.

Also heard Turkey is really cheap hope you find something and get away.

thanks very much, i went to malia last year, it is really cheap when you get out there, but that seems to be amongst the more expensive deals coming up to get there.. thanks! just need to find a mega cheap deal!

You not said how much your budget is?! I went to zante 4/5 years ago for two week 299 b+b and prices like that still seem to be around (not been looking too much though!) and that, i would say is very cheap.

Think you might also find that the 17 yo will need to have a consent letter from parent/guardian if booking through a travel agent.

Also you might struggle with 3 of you, not too bad if you get 3 person room but if you get a 4 person room or 2 doubles then expect to cover for the 'missing person'

Kavos is pretty cheap if you do it right. Find a cheap flight and then book the room separately, rather than booking a package deal.

The last time i went (which was a few years ago) we stayed at the Sailors apartments and it cost something silly like €17 per day for the room, which you book direct so there are no travel agency fees. Sailors was in a prime location as well, right on the beach, just off the main strip new Desperado's grill. http://www.sailorsbeach.co.uk/
You can also get a flight, turn up and get a room when you arrive as there are a lot of cheap apartments that are owned by bar / shop owners which they usually rent out to workers. Again they're pretty cheap as there are no booking fees. They're cheap and cheerful and fine if it's just used for sleeping and getting dressed in.

Most Greek resorts do tend to have got quieter over though.. From 2001 i've done Kavos about 5 times and Malia once and it was quieter each time we went.

as long as that's just the travel money then you'll be able to do it but it'll depend on if you can find cheap flights or not. I've not had chance to go away for the last couple of years but the last time i did the flight was only about £130
