Holiday Ideas for a group of guys

    I’m trying to put together a holiday for me and my mates. We are all 20/21 year old guys. I have been in Crete before and would go there again or to somewhere like it, basically we want a party holiday with lots of sun, a good beach and the rest! We are all in college so not rolling in money. Would it be much cheaper just to book flights and accommodation myself and not as a holiday package? Anyone know of cheap flights from Ireland to a good destination? And how cheap would I get the accommodation?

    Thanks for the help!

    Well it might be a little out of your price range and not really for a two week stint either, but i went back packing a few years back in SE Asia and in particular the islands of Thailand and it is still the best holiday I ever had. Just a suggestion mate.

    Its a little more pricier than the 2 weeks in Crete malarky though, mainly due to flights over which cost about a grand return in general. but cost of living and accomadation is cheaper in comparison so if you are planning on staying more than a fortnight its a possibility.

    Some of the guys are on work placement for the summer so we'll only be going for about 5-7 days. I should have mentioned that!!

    Crete AKA Hersonissos or Malia is akin to going to Ibiza.

    You "might" consider that.

    Personally I would pick the Canaries. You are always guaranteed a party, lots of Irish, lots of sun and cheaper than Ibiza and Crete.

    Yeah for a week your options and limited and Canaries are cool, if you want the hectic one go to Playa del Inglés or if you want more relaxed Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria which is lovely too. just a suggestion mate.

    How about going to Ayia Nappa although it probably wouldnt be the cheapest place so it might not fit into your budget range
