    Go interrailing my friend!

    You can easily do this on your own and take the four weeks.
    If it were me and it might be pricy but I'd try to finish up in St Petersburg. It's magnificent

    Go Ryanairing all over the place. The cheap flights will probably be to places you've never heard of, but that's gonna make all the more fun!

    Tour around Turkey for two or three weeks. It should tick all the boxes, cheap, fun and plenty of other backpackers to socialise with. These guys are pretty good if you don't want to go independently. http://www.feztravel.com/Fez_Bus_Budget_Tours.asp, the best thing about them is that you can hop off hop on aslong as you give them notice.

    You can also do a blue cruise http://www.bluecruisesturkey.com/Itineraries/Cruise_Fethiye-Olympos.html, one of the best trips I've ever done, 4 days and 3 nights on a boat, all food is provided and you visit awesome little places on the coast. Starting in Fethiye and finisheing in Olympos, were you stay in a tree house for about €15 per night, with breakfast and dinner included. From there you go to Cappadocia and on to Istanbul, then down the coast.

    You should be able to get cheapish flights to one of the resorts, easyjet fly from the UK to a few different airports and it is a perfect trip to do solo or with a freind. Turkey is pretty cheap, the places you visit with the tour are geared to backpackers so the social aspects are fun and food and drink are good value and tasty, the locals are friendly and very welcoming.

    Its worth looking into if you haven't been before, and you'll be amazed at how great Turkey is away from the resorts.

    http://www.smartertravel.com/travel-advice/five-europe-destinations-that-won-kill-your-budget.html?id=2603489 here are the five destinations that will certainly not kill your budget while traveling in Europe. Europe is an expensive place to go for vacation but when you explore that certainly is worth while and you get to know that the money you have spent is not in vain.
    Traveling in Europe is best via train as all you need to get is rail pass that will help you to save many Euros. Though when you need to explore more in city or its out skirts then you can hire a good car from http://www.pointcarhire.com/uk/index.html as they give good service on cheaper prices.

    has anyone traveled around bulgaria over a period of 2 weeks,,,,thinkin of doing that as its crazy cheap


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,113 ✭✭✭cailinoBAC


    No I haven't. Have been around most of Eastern Europe, but not there, though I've heard some good things (not sure about sunny beach though). Anyway, check out http://www.inyourpocket.com/bulgaria or just check out the main page if you're looking at other parts of Eastern Europe.

    There's plenty to visit in the Baltic States. I spent a week travelling around Lithuania in 2007, a week between all 3 capitals in 2004.

    In 2005 I had 3 and a half weeks starting Tallinn, into Russia, back through Belarus and home from Vilnius. But when I was worried about possibly not getting the Russian visa on time, I figured I could travel around the Baltics, as I already had my flight booked into Tallinn and back from Vilnius. I can't remember how much I spent overall, but I remember when I set out it was 18 days to pay day and I had €600 left to my overdraft limit. And having the situation in Kazan where the ATM told me I had insufficient funds for a 100 ruble withdrawal (€3! - I still had some euro on me, just exchange place hadn't opened yet and I was looking for breakfast). But I did some couchsurfing (not through that website, but a different one that is less popular now) so that helped a lot on the costs, but also for company. I was a 25 year old single girl, just wanted to do that and didn't have anybody to go with me (My friends were going to Zakynthos and I wasn't interested), but most places I went I either had people to go out for a drink with, or show me around. It really was a fantastic holiday.

    I logged in deliberately just to call you a lucky b'stard.
    Go where your heart leads you and your pocket can carry you, my friend.
    Go and get out of this doom-mongering island and its pissy rain for as long as you can. Go and experience sunshine and warmth and laughter and cheap wine and cheaper women!
    But above all else, go with my green-eyed envy at your back.

    he's back 6 months at this stage! post was from march, planning to go in may/june.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,109 ✭✭✭Cavehill Red


    Still a lucky b'stard. I got away for two days this year. I'm not even going to embarrass myself by saying where I went. (Clue: it rained.)
    Even the memory of sunshine can sustain you through a crappy Irish winter, though, and fair play to the lad for making sure he went off and got some of those memories.
