Suggestions for first sun holiday?

QueenBee1

Hi all. Me and my best friend are looking to book a holiday for 26th of May for 7 nights. It is our first holiday so we just want somewhere sunny,not rough or dangerous and cheap. We are in our early 20s as well. Can anyone please recommend any nice places for us to visit and also any travel agents that would do any good last minute deals? Our budget is €300 each. Thanks in advance

if you want to fly somewhere that'll be most of your budget gone on flights... Otherwise, I'd suggest Barcelona. Lovely weather, walking distance to the beach, lots to see and do... Studio apt rental would be my personal preference.

The Snipe

I went to Porto Del Carmen in Lanzarottee last May for my first sun holiday ever, and I was quite impressed with it!

I would highly recommend it. We were right across from the beach in Los Hibiscus, and everything was cheap as chips! With loads of activities to do too!

Sala

If they are on a budget Barcelona will be too dear - even if you could get there cheaply it's pretty expensive for going out.

Budget travel has a ate deal on the 26th to kusadasi, Turkey. The flights are most of the cost so the apartment block wouldn't be great but you have your pool, sun etc. Plus it's self catering so you won't spend loads if you don't have it and if you follow the locals you can eat very cheaply. I went once, myslef and my partner in August, and it is not dangerous and was not at all rough.

I Need The Sun

Turkey is prb the cheapest. But you do hear stories about the place. Check out www.tripadvisor.com before you make a booking.

Have a look at booking flights and accommodation separately. Suggest you have a look at flights the faro in Portugal and head to the algarve.

Budget is tight. Factor in €100 return pre booked flight from airport to resort if booking separately. Or a lot less for a coach transfer, but a bit more hassle.

Mind you the algarve can be quiet at that time of the year, so if you are looking for night clubs and the like, it might not be your best choice. Hope you get sorted anyways.
