Travel to where in June / July / August?

Do you want a beach holiday with a few days out or a proper adventure?

Your post suggests the former, in which case there is not that much point straying beyond Europe in the summer months.

Beach holiday yes. Adventures sound like alot of faffing about

Island hopping in Greece? No need to fix a route in advance, just make it up as you go along. If you are looking at 3-4 weeks away then that gives you plenty of opportunity for an adventure. I get bored if I'm in the same place for more than a week.

When you say island hopping do you mean within Greece or the surrounding areas near Greece like Italy, Bulgaria etc. If there is a particular place in Greece with lots around it closeby then we may be up for that. Moving about day to day into different hotels or different countries probably not. I can see the appeal though, we would just find it far too stressful.

Is it your plan to stay in one place and go for days out or are you planning on putting a tour together?

Might you consider an apartment and some self catering?

Do you like sightseeing or is it more of a beach holiday you have in mind (you mentioned waterparks)?

Also, not sure how old your dad is and what sort of travel he's up to as some places are very hot in August.

Generally I'd say you'll get better value in June and early July than the rest of the time you mentioned.

Early July before the kids break up will probably be the plan, The UK that is. I know EU tend to finish late May early June.


My Dad just turned 50 by the way but isn't really a hang around the Hotel pool sort of bloke. He just as I will want the trips as well as rest days around the beach, pool and what not and even though we are not big drinkers we will probably spend quite a bit of time in the bars during the day or at night. He's fine with the heat by the way.


As for self catering I have always done that in the past and will probably do so again. I prefer choosing my meals and places to eat from. Wherever we settle for I'll definitely be reading the reviews online for best recommended food places to try . and as for hotel, apartment we'll sort that out once we settle on a destination. I don't mind either way but in the past I tend to settle for a decent star rating hotel with good reviews.



Beach holiday for sure.



My Dad likes the sound of Cyprus. The Egypt one mentioned is an interesting one. Greece as mentioned above as well is another place well recommended. With me within Europe I don't really mind where I go providing it's warm and has a lot of things to do.


We have never visited any of the above including Bulgaria or Croatia. I think those were also mentioned. Just had to edit to add something else as well a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 3 weeks we have decided on. We will check the overall costs when we come to booking something.
