Hey all,
Thinking of going on a lads holiday this year with my mates... What are people's recommendations for desinations?
Ibiza done to death now? / pricey? - or is it still worth going?
Magaluf - Too chavvy?
Kos, Malia, Crete??
Anywhere else?
... Basically, want sun, sea, booze, birds and preferably fairly cheap.
What are people's recommendations and why?

Everyone seems to class Magaluf as chavvy. I didn't even notice it and im usually one to pick up on that sort of thing, just full of people getting hammered, dancing and having a good time.
Im going there again this June and i can't fucking wait

Wouldnt bother me either way. I went to Ayia Napa a couple of years back and had a blast. Pricey as fuck though being Cyprus

I've just come back from a lads holiday in Benidorm. There were 8 of us but we only went for 3 days, Still managed to get off my trolley drunk though.
It ticked all the boxes for me.
Were planning another soon, Amsterdam and Prague have so far been mentioned.

I've been to bulgaria... it's cheap, but the mafia is all over the place  I saw drug deals going on in car parks, big wads of cash being exchanged, etc ...  Wouldn't like to piss off someone there.

Mate from work went to Prague, he loved it, everything was dirt cheap and had a great time in general.
Although he didnt mention that it is quite dangerous, people always trying to sell you drugs in the street and following you back to your hotel.

40p a beer is a bit exaggerated lmao, it really depends where you go. The further you get into the main towns, the more expensive it gets (it's still dirt cheap mind). I went in winter so not sure if this would affect the prices, but still had an awesome time.

Ibiza and Miami are probably the only two places I've been on a lads Holiday and would recommend, everywhere else I've been pales in to insignificance.

I went to faliraki last year it was a good laugh!
Things can get pricey though due to the shit exchane rate.
Like a big mac meal costs you about £7
There are all the same tbh these sort of holiday. I like malia too! If you go there, you have to swin to the little chapel off the beach........Anyone who has been will know what i mean.
