Where to go in May?!

Want to go away in May, me and the misses. Half board, £500 per person max. Any suggestions?

    Long weekend or 4 nights Rome, nice place for a visit and within that budget. Went last year and plenty to see and do if you like achitecture, history and walking oh and plenty of bars and cafes too.
    :hello: Lets all save a £ or two, lets all earn a £ or two, and lets all enjoy spending that £ or two wisely.

  • Cyprus is beautiful in May. Just starting to get warm and still nice and quiet. The locals say that the islands is at it's best in May and October.. Well the ones I spoke to did.. Been to Cyprus in late June too and it was a little to hot for us clouds.. Could of done with a few more of us there.. Clouds that is..

    You might want to avoid the last week in may as i think it's half term in most schools about then
    I know cos I'm looking into taking the kids to Crete then and the gits are charging about £100 extra each for that week, have to go then cos it's my reading week as well then so no begging to the school for a few days off term - sigh.

    Good point about the end of May..We went to Cyprus last year in the first week in May and the weather was stunning. The year before same week we went to Crete and it rained for five days and we had to buy extra warm clothing and have heating in the apartment all day and night.. This was not the norm but we will pack accordingly whenever we go away at the start or end of a season.. I suppose thats why there is a start and a end to a season in some places..:o

    have a look at www.directholidays.co.uk- they have some excellent prices, but you need to continue to the the booking stage to see them.
    your budget is healthy and you havent fiven many details but the first one i fond was £773 for 5* Hb in fuerteventura hich would be lovely at that time of year.

    Yeah, whatever. I'm a grown up, I can take it...
