Summer holiday destinations
Hi
A friend and I are taking a week out in August to go on holiday and we need help with destination.
Somewhere warm (so continent) would be ideal... but not too expensive, but close to coastline for tanning and swimming purposes. Also, must have good bars and preferably electro clubs for after dark activities. So I guess city by the coast is good (have done Barcelona extensively and that is an option).
I was thinking Paris but it shuts down in August (shame as know a perfect little French run hotel that has an old wrought iron lift and the entire family run hotel can't speak a word of English - right in the central district for 30 Euros a night - but it's closed in August).
Any tips? Coast of France, Italy, possibly even Greece would work...
Thanks...

Paris in August is boring...
French coasts are usually expensive.
Deauville?
Trouville?
Paris-sur-la-mer?
Yeah, Paris in August is shit boring.
Everything is SHUT.
And I've done Nice / Cannes before at that time of year and it was VERY VERY expensive. So can't afford that.. as waste of money.
Hmmmmm.
atlantic coast is less expensive
but less warm too !
New York
in 17 days time.
oh yes.
Too hot. And my friend just got back from NY
too.
Barcelona
i'm going in July (Y)
Ta - Barcelona is a great option
but have been there a couple times... and would have loved to have tied in Sonar for that.
Ummm.....
Riga
there's some lovely beaches just down the road in Jurmala. It's cheap, and there's probably some electro clubs
Hmmm - what about Croatia?
Hmmm....
Latvija > Hrvatska
but I get to see
Modest Mouse and Daft Punk play in a big park.
surely thats worth sweating profusely over.
Well, if you can teach the Americans how to party
then it's worth the challenge. Yes. Good luck.. ;-)
haha
.
Helsinki?
it's not an obvious one anyway and is lovely.
scandanavia
is lovely in summer.
I lived in denmark in 2005, and the summer was absolutely amazing.
Trouxe-sur-la-mer?
Anaxtia?
Borgonja?
Cheté d'oior?
Please elaborate
as it sounds interesting.
none of those places are real
haha
i was about to say something along those lines
:(
Only in YOUR world!
Zanzibar
has the highest incidence of pirate related theft in the world. If only they were eyepatched parrot lovers instead of the balaclava-d machine gunners I imagine them to be.
But I'm looking forward to this, although two weeks is probably too long.
Colombia
Caribbean coast.
Best place in the world.
Virtually all of the annoying backpacker pricks are too scared, so it's really peaceful as well.
Pris have a following in Peru, I found out this morning.
We are doing voiceovers for Peruvian Radio.
CLASSIC. I fancy a warm holiday.
