Fly into Girona and there are special buses direct to the resorts. May work out cheaper buying the resort, flights etc separate rather than the whole package. The bus is around 10€ per person and takes you where you need to be 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

welshphil 197 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 On 17/05/2025 at 00:31, mushroom said: What are you after mate? Like Mack said pick a place, book flights and airb&b it. 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 I've got a week with the Grandkids in Pineda del Mar middle of August, really looking forward to it.

Lovely mate. There’s some good restaurants in Calella. One (Argentinian) does or used to do a parilla de carne (mixed grill). If you get the R1 train, go south towards Barcelona (10-15mins) to San Pol de Mar. some very good restaurants there (couple with Michelin stars I think). There’ll be way less tourists, mainly locals. When you get to the beach from the train (1min), facing the sea go to the end at the right. But don’t go past the rocks lol it’s nudists . Near the train there is a nice bar that does good snacks (you cannot miss it, it’s infront of you as you leave the station). Infront of that bar is a Dia (Kwik save type) shop where you can get beers, ice, snacks etc next door to the bar is a Chinese bazaar type shop where you can get beach stuff for the kids, lilos etc A favourite of mine is this one Restaurant El Molí Google Maps GOO.GL ★★★★☆ · Mediterranean restaurant Edited May 25 by mushroom 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Up to you mate but I’d advise against cameras Best thing about that beach is barely any tourists, plenty of space and no looky looky guys. You may get the odd one selling blankets but it’s rare and they don’t bother you the way they do on the tourist beaches Anything you need, suggestions, help with transport etc just ask. No problem mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pardus 990 Posted Tuesday at 13:24 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 13:24 What's the best places you have been to in Greece? I've been to Crete & Cyprus before, great, but don't really like going to the same spot twice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
