We drive when doing France so ferry or tunnel but then some kind of apartment/gite, I don't do caravans.
It's fair to say most beaches are ok once you leave England. Was in Angakar, Cyprus last August...a stone throw away from the Med....the beach was good...people are cool, too busy living their own lives, the bread is always nice abroad with a Cheese board selection and the fresh Fish dishes are yum. Pussy looks fine too..that living in the Sun fine....would love that life...id be one of them Vespa and fine pussy kinda guys you see on your Hols.
Not going abroad this year...giving flying a miss, not 100% confident with flying nowadays..going to Edinburgh for about 4 days...then going to Cornwall...got a Barn conversion thing booked for the week in August.
Menorca is a lovely island,loads of great beaches cala galdana a big one and playa blanca a small one are the two i remeber but they're all nice.
