Question

Looking to book first holiday I’ve been on since a child, and first holiday at all for my partner. Where do we start? Looking for around 2nd-3rd week of Sept (once school holidays are finished). Wanting somewhere near a beach, warmish around 25 degrees, but lots of history, exploring and fun things to do (neither of us are sit on the beach for a week people! ). We both are foodies so ideally somewhere with some awesome food places (looking at going half board or possibly sc) What do we need to look out for when booking? Thank you!  

Answer 1

The Greek Islands are beautiful, especially the Ionian Islands, full of history, friendly locals, lots of beautiful beaches and plenty to do! They're also quite reasonable in terms of pricing! Would definitely recommend sc or bnb xx

Answer 2

Greece ️

Answer 3

If you like good good, Greece! Naxos is amazing, the only Greek island with underground fresh water reserves so they can grow their own crops. Their potatoes and chips are so yummy and the meat and seafood to die for.  

Answer 4

Look for Happy holidays on Facebook they have a range of places for couples or for family or tours for couples designed around what your into. I love Turkey, Caribbean, and some parts of Spain xx

Answer 5

Cyprus will be warm and you are almost falling over history

Answer 6

Brill thank you everyone for your ideas! Xx

Answer 7

Palma Nova xx

Answer 8

Paphos Cyprus will be warm, there are lovely beaches just down the road from the main harbour, food in abundance with traditional Greek meze style restaurants, for sight seeing you have the old harbour, tomb of the kings, a boat trip can be organised direct from the harbour to visit Aphrodite’s rock, a trip to famagusta, I’m a travel agent I could go on but I won’t. Just think this would make an ideal destination for what you have described.  

Answer 9

Savannah GA & Hilton Head area are perfect temperatures that time of the year. We go around that time every few years. We are not beach people either, other than for a few hours each day.  

Answer 10

Portugal is lovely

Answer 11

Portugal is our favourite place and has lots of history if you go to the right area, Costa Del Sol is beautiful in September. Somewhere like Nerja has lots to do that isn’t all drinking, the Caves of Nerja are amazing.  

Answer 12

You could do a lot worse than Malaga city. Warm, galleries, amazing culture and antiquities and great range of food. Cycle ride to beaches and quaint resorts.  

Answer 13

Bali will be very nice. Bali and Lombok.  

Answer 14

MY GOD! It's like I have written this myself!  

Answer 15

Barcelona has a mix of everything x

Answer 16

Look at Dalyan, apartment so you can try all the fabulous restaurants. Weather will be around 28/32

Answer 17

Barcelona is amazing, you can get the hop on off bus, if you go Malaga look out for the transport museum if you like vintage cars n clothes

Answer 18

Croatia. do a road trip along the coast starting north down to Dubrovnik and including the islands , plenty to see /do /tours/water sports , food is fab , Italian influence , however doing that would be AirB&B rather than half board

Answer 19

Malta is lovely with plenty to do
