A family holiday to Sanday in the Orkneys some years back in an hired mini bus was a 24 hour journey by the time we got to Sanday having to catch a ferry to Kirkwall and then another from their to Sanday though well worth it when we got there and we dropped on a good week weather wise got to say it was an holiday due to the place that will have a lasting memory far better than any where I have been in a foreign country holiday with the exception of Kalamoto island in Croatia that was on par with the holiday in the Orkneys. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know a great place in Gran Canaria and another in Split. Some fantastic places up the coast from me. Away from the tourists but with great public transport into the city/tourist areas if you fancy it. If you’re after a beach but with plenty nearby check out San Pol de mar. If you pick something near me I’m happy to meet you at the airport (El Prat) and get you on your way to where you need to be Thak you mush very much,its a family holiday I'm looking,don't want to cook nothing for 1 or 2 weeks lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I wouldn’t recommend it but there are a load of all inclusive places further up (Santa Susana, Lloret de mar etc) if you decide on something like that it’s probably best to fly into Girona. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
