Alright folks,a group of us(lads aged 28-30) are going to head on holiday in July most likely around the 27th for a week and I'm looking for recommendations. We aren't too fussy ,looking for a holiday with decent drink/food and sun,sea and good nightlife.Probably won't be too mental of a holiday some of the lads are getting too old for that  .we want a spot that wouldn't be full of knackers,young ****s falling around the place vomiting.We all have other holidays planned over the summer so we are trying to do this without spending a fortune,its only in the last few days that we were all able to agree on a time to go that suits us. |

Ayia Napa is a hell of a spot but not the cheapest. As well as the good nightlife there are plenty of nice spots for a meal. Beaches are unbelievable with plenty to do on them like watersports, bungee jumping etc. plenty to look at too  Ayia napa

probably going to book flights and accomodation ourselves.Always use skyscanner for flights and booking.com or trivago for the accomadation.Looking for places lads would recommend more so than travel agent sites,they always are going to talk up wherever they are trying to flog. Ayia napa is on the list but a few of us have been there a few times and looking for a change. |

never been but Croatia always looks like a nice spot not sure about the nightlife - there are some good festivals there you could go mental at one of them and then chill out after for a few days. ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught!

I'll take your sunny beach and bring it a few miles down the road to Nessebar, quieter old town. But Sunny Beach is good alright. Dirt cheap

Dubrovnik in Croatia. I was only there for two days on the way back from Montenegro but it seemed like a nice spot. Good weather, lively enough craic and cheap beer. Ideal. ------------- @MessiConor Hasta La Victoria Siempre |

I was in Sopot and I would go back again.Its the place I mentioned to the others but they don't seem pushed at the moment.I reckon we will probably end up going to Spain or Portugal,they are the only 2 destinations that we will probably get everyone to agree on. anyone ever been in Albufeira?Good spot for what I'm looking for? |

| Can recommend ayia napa as well. Not the cheapest but cheaper than Ibiza and same sort if thing. Green bungalows are a great place to stay. 24 hour bar and loads of Irish. Party all day and night |

i went to Dubrovnik a few years ago. Loved the place - wasn't the cheapest place in the world and the nightlife was ok but the people were great and the ladies were unreal. Up to Tallinn standard.

Did Ibiza, Playa Den Bossa a few times with the lads, only a half hour from the airport, Bora Bora beach is Incredible,Chilled out relaxed vibe to it,all the bars are cheap with the Nightclub Space up the road for a mad one.(Expensive). Playa Den Bossa isnt your typical Ibiza resort, its much more chilled than you would think.Savage spot for a bunch of lads on the rip.

Someone mentioned Ios earlier. I used to go there in my younger days (80's) when it was the dogs. Always packed with delicious finns, swedes and norwegians up for the full monty. There was always a few aussie backbackers knocking about and they were gamey as f**k as well. Ios was the place to be long before Ibiza or Ayia Napa. A bit of a trek to get to though, theres no airport on the island, so a flight to Heraklion/Pireaus and ferry to Ios. It was worth it  Its a small island, nice beach in the port but a fantastic crescent shaped beach on the far side of the island. All the action happened in the village which is at the top of the island especially in the open air square. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

If you dont want to be surrounded by knacker p*ssheads I'd steer clear of all the usuals like crete and ayia napa (ayia napa is class in fairness but not when you're hitting 30). Croatia's meant to be class, savage weather and most of it is coastal, going there myself in July for Ultra Europe festival! ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

I wouldn't say that now. Obviously don't go the week after the leaving cert results (unless you like them young) but in general the age is about 20-30 in my opinion, with more 20-25 year olds.
28 now so hate to think I am too old to go back! Would rather hit Ibiza next time I want to go on one of those holidays though.
Be lucky if I get a weekend in courtown this year!

Dead right there, stayed in the Green Bungalows twice, once in the middle of July and then the other when the results came out, biggest bunch of head wreckin kids were staying there at the time, middle of July would be the best time for it! ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Get yourself to Budapest. Great spot for a night out and then you can go to the sceznyi baths to cure the hangover the day after. The spartys are some craic too - basically a bit of a rave at the outdoor baths. ------------- 17 International Caps 16 International Goals COYFIG |

Going here for 2 weeks in August Last time I was in Ibiza I stayed in San Antonio and wouldn't do it again, its just a revved up version of Magaluf. Ibiza Town/Playa D'en Bossa looks much better with Space Bora Bora & Pach etc. One good part of San Antonion is Café Del Mar though, loved chilling out there for the sunset...------------- Co-Founder of The Paul McShane Fan Club, Portmarnock Branch |

Lads will be lads in Zakynthos. Was a great auld time when I was there, and we were in our late 20's. Saying that, I'd say wherever ye go will be be amazing, whatever ye make it. I do remember one bar did 8 jagger bombs for €20, so that always had us well on. ------------- The dark side.. And the light |

+ 1 Rossieman if you haven't booked yet Sunny Beach is definately what you are looking for. An absolutely brilliant spot and dirt cheap. Only snag is is that it is pricey to get there at the min. You're looking at 400+ for flight only. Maybe able to get a decent package deal though. Avoid all-inclusive as its a waste of money with food and drink generally very cheap. Pint for less than a euro most places. Supermarket-bought beer is for nothing. Loads to do and see. Lacks the 'Brits abroad' vibe that you get alot of places in Spain for example. Birds are magnificent also. Been there plenty of times so know the place very well. Gimme a shout if you want more info.------------- 'Joxer Goes to Poznan' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEjtiJ9udkM |

No 'Brits abroad' but plenty of 'Russian Mafia abroad' in Sunny Beach. Nessebar is worth a visit though. |

If you see a hotel with expensive cars, don't go near the place, a guy came out before to me with a machine gun haha. Another fella got fined €50 for pissing on the beach because the mafia run the toilets, yer man had a tazer when asking for the money ha. Keeps the crime low I suppose. ------------- 'The younger generation as in 17 -25 are certainly gayer than their predecessors.
