2018 Holiday Plans


TheAuthority

Recommended Posts

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 :D

Also a short break to Dubrovnik planned.

I’m off to Peru in July.

Very active, hiking, cycling and canoeing. 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

As much as I love seeing villa get beat in the premier league, we have decided on Skiathos in June and Cape Verde in September :)

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

Have you been to Pefkos or Rhodes in general?We usually do Marmaris but we're thinking of branching out.

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

Santorini for me and Mrs T, couple of days after Wembley

Santorini is one of the most exceptional places on earth.

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.

Stockholm for me in July for a long weekend. Any tips or tricks? 

all depends what you are looking to do. If lads weekend then start saving but if going for family or quiet trip then it should be ok sightseeing

Off to Belarus on Sunday with Tonyh Jnr  -  note to self don't get pissed up in Wembley and miss the train home

Would have preferred it as a lads do destination as I think it has a bit to offer , but at least this way I get to explore a lot more  , Monday we are off down to the Stalin Line to drive around on a tank and fire a machine gun ( don't tell his mum !!)

and North Korea is now booked for Sept .... Can't wait for his where did you go in your summer holidays discussion in school :)

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.
