Holidays

Does anyone think 7 nights in Santorini is worth the holiday length sacrifice over 12 nights in places like Portugal, Spain, Corfu or the Canary Islands? Late August as well. It’s too expensive for the same length
My daughter went for a day trip to santorini when we were in crete. I personally couldn't be bothered with the ferry journey. She said a day was enough as it was like a cattle market. You could possibly do something similar but spend a few nights in two different locations. Going to zante this year as I love Greek food but I really do fancy a trip to Portugal.

Agree, I've been on a cruise which stopped there, probably lovely when the 2/3 ships cleared off ... Spent forever in the cable car queue to get back to sea level.....likely lovely in a quiet cove mind you.

Went to Santorini for a week about 7 years ago. Had a great time, was there for a wedding. It was before I had kids though, so I had more cash and was happy to get taxis around the island to visit the touristy bits (Oia for all the white buildings cascading down the hillside). We stayed near Perissa, so just the other side of the mountain from Kamari. We got a boat from Perissa to Kamari one evening to meet up with friends, and it seemed like a good spot.

Would certainly recommend going, but cant tell you if you should sacrifice another few days holiday elsewhere!

Having a break in Naples in March, looks the bollocks but first time there so not sure what to expect

Bit rough and ready,strange atmosphere to the place and the local guys all look like Mafia hit men.
Great pizza though,and Vesuvius probably won't kick off while your there.
 
Going to Costa Teguise on Sunday, what temperature is it in the evening ?
Just noticed post was a couple of week back.

Just come back from there last Tuesday,it's around 16 at night,blowing a gale some nights,especially on front,not cold per say,but hoodie recomended as well as jeans or pants for me,nice 23/24 in day though.
 
We are going to Turkey in October family holiday, the wife booked it a year in advance all inclusive £3300, same holiday now is £5500! For 7 nights outrageous.
Unfortunately increases for may things in Turkey have been on the cards for a while apparently, where you off to ?
We are going in the summer and having a week on ischia looking forward to it.
That looks stunning mate, have a brilliant time.
