Going to pisa on Friday never been before and seen cheap flights so booked up for a few days is it worth getting the train over to lucca for the day?

The City of Arts and Science in Valencia is one of the most amazing modern sites I've visited.

Agreed,breathtaking.

Don't know about Lucca but we did day trips from Florence to Pisa, San Gimignano and Sienna. All well worth doing and not far on the train so I'm guessing they would be doable from Pisa.

What's drawing you to santorini?

I've had a look online and most of the excursions on offer are matched by those in the Canary Islands.

If you aren't getting the spectacular views doesn't seem a fair trade off for almost half the holiday length but only you can make that judgement.

Somewhere like Lindos in Rhodes/Rodos Island has traditional whitewashed buildings and the old town and the island is comparatively cheaper.

All depends what you want from a holiday. If it is all inclusive all the way and chill out in the resort or excursions, sightseeing and eating out.

The basic things we want are a self catering option near a beach, pool in hotel and decent choice of bars and restaurants. The thing Santorini gives us is the spectacular views which are a ten minute taxi ride every day or 2. Plus all 3 of us have it down as a place we want to see at some point but like has been said we could stay elsewhere and hop over for a night. I’m edging towards Gran Canaria for 12 nights for similar cost

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

England game ? Naples March 23rd.

Disappointed that when we were there on a cruise, that we didn't see it because somebody said it's a waste of time unless you are into architecture

Art gallery, opera house, imax cinema, planetarium, oceanarium…

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

Looking at Salerno?

Far cheaper than Positano, only a 40 mile train ride from Naples and a flight £17 return with Ryanair.

Anyone been and decent beaches?

Definitely go to Lucca, much nicer imo than Pisa.

Edit - in fact I'd look at staying in Lucca and visiting Pisa.
