    Went too Budapest last weekend. Great City, cheap beer and great culture.

    We went to the 'Shoes on the Danube'. A WW2 memorial to the Jews who.where lined up against the Danube and had there shoes stolen off them and then shot into the river.

    That’s an emotional memorial. Went to see it a few years ago
    Out of interest what’s a pint cost in Budapest now?

    Just crossed the Arctic Circle cruising back from Narvik and Tromsø.

    Bloody freezing and snowing outside but glorious sunshine as well, with incredible views. - Reminds me of the old days but I’m now quite happy to be holed up in the Observation Lounge.

    Stella, six quid a pint.

    The cheapest was £1.63 and most expensive about £3.50.

    We paid £38 for two pints, three glasses of wine and two, two course Italian meal.

    Crete?

    We stayed in Almyrida, to the east of Chania. Quite low key but with some charm. Chania is worth a visit, some historical sites within an hours drive. Walking in Samaria Gorge if that's of interest.

    We’re staying just to the west of Chania in May.
    We have stayed in Crete before, and love the island, as well as Chania. We generally go away in May to avoid the crowds, and Crete is one of the warmer and more settled islands that early. We have had some rain in other islands. We usually hire a car and drive around the island.
    If City reach the playoffs, gonna have to find a suitable bar!!!

    If you find somewhere in the east of the island I can highly recommend a trip to Spinalonga.

    Been mostly to Spain (mainland & islands), but have tried Cyprus (Paphos area) and Crete (Lyttos Beach). Not been to other Greek Islands, hence question.
    Wondering where in Kos and Corfu you'd recommend? Like a nice beach, walks, pretty, a few bars & shops but not too busy & touristy. Ta

    I've been to Cyprus, Kos, Santorini, Zakynthos, Poros and most recently Kassandra and they were all great.
