Leaving Cert Holiday

Beno · 12-01-2005 10:30pm #1

I'm tryin to organise a hol for me and a couple of class mates as a celebration of finishing the leavin. I just want to go somewhere to party get pissed and have a time of a lifetime. I was thinkin of Greece. Any ideas what tour operator would be best and any other suggestions of where to go? And since we're an all boys school any girls have the same idea of bringin a load of freinds somewhere?

Could be a start to know how to spell where you're thinking of going...

Shrimp · 12-01-2005 10:41pm

usually people go to creet << I know it's a typo

tots@Cork · 13-01-2005 12:43pm

theres an online agent that deals specifically with leaving cert holidays...www.leavingcertholidays.ie or it could be .com either way its there. they are very helpful i used them myself when i was booking a holiday after my leaving cert....one place to look into is playa del ingles in gran canaria..have been there 8 times and going again soon and in the summer its an ideal spot for a mad drinking holiday

I can't tell if you're *actually* spelling that wrong, or making an extremely funny poke at Beno's spelling of Greece.

ive been to hersonisses,crete, playa del ingles ,kos, ayia napa and majorca for mad drinking holidays and i can tell you now ayia napa is by far the best.

i didnt like crete at all, del ingles was good but it is a bit rough and ayia napa is just perfect (and its just as dear as everywhere else!)
I recommend Nicks apartments, the fella that owns them is a legend and he will give you free drink and lifts to the water park.

how much would be to go on a holiday like that, price of drink bein a major factor. And would there be any probs for under 18's. i'm 18 myself but some my m8s arnt. tour operator or organise ur own? thx a mil

gary the great · 14-01-2005 5:22pm

to go to ayia your lookin at about between 600 - 700 euros.

The price of drink in clubs is the same as over here but its cheaper in the shops so just have a few before you go out!

gary the great · 14-01-2005 5:24pm

forgot to mention no bother being under 18 they dont give a ****, they just want to get you in to the place so you will spend money, they wouldnt care if you were 11.

what would be the best way of organising something like this? Go to a travel agent or an internet travel agent or organising it all my self. cost and time wise
And whats the most popular place for leavers?

Get a head count of everyone who's in. Go to the travel agent, talk, find out how much the deposit is, and get it off everyone. At that point there's no dropping out and no joining in.

Beno · 17-01-2005 10:35pm

can you get group discounts?

besty · 18-01-2005 2:26am

go to ayia napa. it was amazing when i went there after my leaving

Fish05 · 18-01-2005 8:29am

Hi there,

I havce a quote from Budget for a week in Aya Napa in Aug for 550eure based on 4 sharing, thats not expensive if that's where you want to go

DamienH · 18-01-2005 5:34pm

I'm going to prague for a week. It's like fecking <€300 euros flights and all. Cheap drink to boot ( bout €1.20 a pint ) Hoho tis dangerously cheap

Beno · 18-01-2005 8:10pm

But then u dont get the bungee jumpin, water sports, the sun, and the beach

Beno · 21-01-2005 8:48pm

Would Greece be cheaper than cyprus and which island would u have the most crack

Lisapeep · 21-01-2005 8:56pm

I'd recommend calling into a travel agents and picking up a few holiday brochures from companies like Panorama, Direct Holidays, Budget holidays etc. The brochures themselves will give you plenty of information on all the resorts listed above and if you have any further questions, I'm sure the travel agent could help you out!

Booking with a travel agents has its advantages, especially when it comes to going away with a big group. You can each call in to pay your share whenever it suits you and you can pay in cash (which is handy for students who don't tend to have credit cards)! Plus, booking with a tour operator gets you airport transfers etc!

Beno · 21-01-2005 9:06pm

thx i'm goin into town tomorrow and i'll check it out. But u cant really trust what the brochures says i'm lookin for inside info or somethin like that. Thx :cool:

I'm sure there'll (is that a real word?) plenty there but i suppose if anyone wants to, to balance up the num, i would be very much in favour.

Anyway went to travel agent and she reconmended crete, ayia napa and turkey. Turkey is supposed to be dirt cheap once your there but costs just as much to get there.

Anyone been there? If so what was it like?
