Default Holiday Ideas

We have just got back from Egypt and really enjoyed our stay we have been the last two years because it seems hard to beat. We paid £400 for 7 days all inclusive and the weather was around 38-40 every day and swimming with the fish was amazing. The one thing it missed was evening entainment which we would like on are next holiday.

This is what we are looking for.

Budget under £500 for 7 days.

We don't mind what board we are happy with all inclusive or self catering.
Got to be Hot in August I think everywere will be any way
No 18-30 resorts.
Would like a bit of evening entainment karoke bars etc night places to eat.
Something to see where we go I would'nt mind doing a few trips or renting a car.

We were thinking about a greek island but they seem to have a lot of problems at the moment.

We have also been recommended fuerteventura.

Any ideas would be great

Thanks.

fuerteventura is great, hot all year round, tons of sand dunes, they get tiny amounts of rain so hardly any insects, I recommend hiring a jeep then go off roading (all over the place). Easy to catch a ferry to the other islands if you want to explore a bit (the volcanic national park on the next island is like a different planet defo worth a visit).

There are tons of bars/restaurants etc but if you want "culture" then your out of luck as virtually no one lived there untill the 70s so its all been built since then, its all a bit nasty in my opinion + tons of Brit places.

My Girlfriend keeps saying we should go to Egypt but we could only get time off together in October and I'm not sure what the weather will be like in Egypt at that time of year

I went to Mexico last year and that was one of the best hols I've had, loved the snorkeling but the flight is a bit of a long one

Turkey, we're going in a couple of weeks time. We're going to marmaris which has a bit of everything, nice resturants and bars, it not in the euro so it's pretty cheap. We paid £450 for 10 nights 4* all Inc

I would go to Spain, you will easily get a cheap all inclusive and they have a copy of everything plus there is proper life on the evenings when you go out into the bars.

Cyprus, Paphos. Have been 5 times and love it. Going again in July.

Sea like a bath. Very friendly people, wealth of different foods.
