1. Morocco

2. Greek islands

3. Israel

4. Spain

5. Southern Italy

Maybe you could combine Spain and Morocco and get the ferry accross to Tangier. I did that a few years back and it was good fun. Felt very exotic heading off to Morocco by boat. Maybe you could start in Barcelona, head down the med coast, relax a bit in the resorts of the costa del sol, and then head over to Morocco and down to Marakesh or Fes.

Sounds interesting Mike...I'm planning a trip and I want to take in Barcelona and then some surfing. I hear Morocco has some good surf. Couple of questions:

- how would a person get from southern Spain to Morocco?
- where are the good surf locations in Morocco?
- is the nightlife in Morocco good i.e. can a person drink there or is alcohol banned/frowned upon?


Cheers,

Morocco - A great place to get away from the masses of tourist traps/"resorts"
Greek Islands - Know nothing.
Israel - Well, you better not let on that you're Irish, they hate us.
Spain - Can be a lovely place, try to stay in mountainous areas, otherwise you'll just end up with more resorts.
Southern Italy - Scorching hot + Mosquito will drive you mad, better to go at a different time of the year.
