MINIBARCELONASAINT Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 I finished my A-Levels the week before last and tomorrow a large group of us are going to Kavos in Greece for our end of college holiday. It will be the last time most of us spend time together what with us all going down one of three routes: University, Gap Year or the end of education and the start of something else. I'm excited more than any other emotion and cannot wait to get there. But, I wish to ask two questions of you lovely people out there: Firstly, if you have been and if so how was it? Secondly, I'll ask you to share your end of college holiday memories with us all. I've already packed my suitcase, Turkish: however, I have read your fashion-related posts with eagerness and feel I have packed in the right manner. Go forth and post Saints fans MiniB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ottery st mary Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 (edited) My daughter was going there with her group..... But luckily after telling her that football hooligans were on their waythere ..they have decided to go to Ibitha..... I am led to believe that Ibitha, unlike Kavos.. is a nice quiet place with no football rowdies.... It is Ibiza.....stupid boy ottery:blush: Edited 1 July, 2012 by ottery st mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank's cousin Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Paros - 2 weeks, no money, OK, but grim reality setting in that it was all over - life was going to get hard, complicated, and responsibilty would feature .... end of era misery that seemed to cloud the trip - Good story of my friend (and later best man) attempting 'unification' with Germany on the beach, only to be 'disturbed' by a 'large' alsation that saw his humping arse as fair game....

SNSUN Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 I went to Kavos on a 2wentys holiday years ago. It's basically one strip of bars and clubs (with a fork at the end) and one strip of beach. Quality weather but the main thing you'll notice is the smell of shiiiiiiiiiiiit. It stinks. But hopefully you'll be so drunk you won't notice!

Which means there are far fewer cases of people passed out in the street caked in their own vomit and pigeon kebabs. Also, Ibiza smells less like a toilet.

Thedelldays Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Ibiza is for rich college leavers..... failing that, generally the employed can afford to go let alone get in anywhere. if you stay away from San Antonio, you will probably be too young being 18 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I went was 2010, and I spent about £1200 on the week. And that was with flights and accom for only £250 and trying to do most of the drinking on the cheap where possible. Good luck with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Amsterdam for 4 days we managed £150 each for accommodation and flights. Sure, the place we stayed was just a bed, but it was well placed within the city. I took about £180 worth of euros too. Nice and cheap. Edited 1 July, 2012 by Saintandy666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 We've booked Ibiza for the closing parties in September. Flights are £150 from Bournemouth and the hotel we stay at will be about £90 each. Basic but it has air con and does the job. Problem with Ibiza is the price of getting into the clubs. We go there for the music, and you'll usually pay €30-50 to get in anywhere that's worth going to on any particular night. It's expensive, but comfortably worth it. Much rather shell out the extra few hunderd quid and go to Ibiza than go somewhere sh*t like Kavos, Malia, Faliraki or Magaluf where you're surrounded by wasted 18 year olds, the smell of sewage, and chart-dance pop music clubs. We've found that festivals abroad are really good value for money when getting away for a good time. A week at Exit festival in Serbia cost me £500 door to door, including flights via Munich, and we went to Pag in Croatia which is cheap as chips and a real up and coming lads holiday destination.

SuperMikey Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 Just came back from Sunny Beach in Bulgaria, had a cracking time. Never done a 'mates holiday' before so was a good experience. Hope you have a good time MiniB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakeySFC Posted 5 July, 2012 Share Posted 5 July, 2012 Been to Malia, Magaluf, Tenerife and Zante in the last 4 years. Malia - Quality Magaluf - Good, but a bit seedy. Tenerife - Amazing, quite low key and not many outright clubs, but has a great vibe on the strip Zante - Rundown shi_thole, left after 3 days.

RedAndWhite91 Posted 5 July, 2012 Share Posted 5 July, 2012 Went to Magaluf after finishing college, and enjoyed it so much we went back the year after. Been to Zante but not on a lad's holiday. Off to Ibiza on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
