Its been a long time since I was there and we stayed in the Sir Antony in Las Americas, I always said I would go back as it was a cracking hotel, missus wants to try another resort so I may give that a look. Cheers

Half way through a 10 day stay in Alykes in Zante.
Really chilled out, and much cheaper than Lindos where we usually go in the summer.
Just took redundancy before we came out - 12 weeks garden leave, so looking for all of august on another Greek island. Any suggestions?

Try kefalos in Kos quiet and cheap beach a bit stoney
Try roda and akaravi in Corfu both nice
Try pefKos in Rhodes
Do a little research
Try skala in kefalonia
There is many nice Greek places
Potty about our airport not going to many Greek islands

I've just booked there for 2 weeks in December. I've read the storm season finishes in November so we should be alright. Have you been at that time of year?

Went to Skiathos beginning of May, bloody cold and pissed down 7/9 days. In the two days where the sun was out, it was fantastic. So good in fact, we’re going again on Saturday. I’ve been to the Greek islands around 20 times, this is one of the best.

Love going to Greece and the islands we’ve been going for over 40 years different islands time and time again
However you are restricted to certain islands from our airport
You can go to many more from Manchester

We went to Ios, flew to Santorini from Newcastle and got a ferry there, only took 30 minutes, less busy and much cheaper than the popular islands. Planning on doing a three week island hop next year when the Mrs raps in work.

The bad time to go to the carabean I would say is
June/July —- October/November and I have been in July to barbados and jamaca in November/December and had great weather

Same place. I always go to Runaway Bay but usually in March or April. I've just booked a self catering apartment this time. I like getting out and about over there.

A question for all you lads, hope you can help me with. Our lass and my daughter have just said they are going abroad around the beginning of September. Could you recommend anywhere to go for around the
£1500 mark between them as we are going away quite a bit ourselves and money will be a bit tight with this unexpected new holiday. Normally I would go but since we got Lily
( dog ) I don’t like to leave her. Flying from Leeds/ Bradford would be nice but any Northern airport is ok
