KHV Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Will hit one of the Greek islands in June as I love them, we try and do a different one each year. I have two weeks off in September too but I have no idea where to go in September so any advice would be welcome Also a short break to Dubrovnik planned.

Taking in Rainbow Mountains, Machu Picchu and the Amazon. Going with a travel group for the first time so will be interesting to see how it goes. Managed to persuade a couple of the lads to eventually renew their passport so hoping to get to Barcelona and watch a game towards the end of the year. the train to MP from Cusco is very scenic and well worth doing , maybe just hike it one way if you hadn't already considered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robtaylor200 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 just booked our October holiday to Gran Canaria AGAIN. Campa international Maspalomas We try to have one sight seeing holiday (Santorini in June) and a late sitting in the sun resting and chilling. Love it there, always warm and sunny, great café and bar culture, live and let live and not too pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Doing Berlin just after Easter for my brother's 40th. I speak fairly decent German but never been to Germany weirdly, and I love a good city break so really looking forward to it. Then it's looking like Barbados in November.

Yes I have visited Rhodes and stayed in Pefkos. Pefkos was really nice (it's been about 10 years!). It was a fairly quiet village when I was there, there were plenty of restaurants and bars there though which is what I like. The beach was nice. I would strongly recommend car hire on Rhodes as it's quite large and there are loads of places to go and lots of archaeological sites to see if you like that sort of thing? (I do). Lindos is fairly close and worth a visit and Rhodes Town is a must see too. It's a world heritage site. Plenty of stunning beaches and resorts to visit that are not too much of a drive. The only place I wouldn't recommend is Faliraki, if pissed up rowdy british people is something you enjoy then by all means give it a go, it's not my scene these days. I would strongly recommend Rhodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody is looking for things to do: - wine tasting at Santo Wines. - Explore Oia - walk along the coast st Thera (Fira) - lots of steps up and down. - grab a boat over to Thirasia. (Sunset cruise or something) - check out the Akrotiri Archeological site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Asia is pretty much nailed on now for November. Looking at starting (and ending) in Bangkok, but open to ideas where to go inbetween. I guess it depends on what flights go out of Bangkok on any given day. Will probably want to chill out somewhere for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
