Alright lads, I'm needing a bit of advice!
Myself and a few mates are looking to go on a good lads holiday on i tight budget!
Only requirements are:
;D 1 week - leaving around 1st Sept
;D Somewhere loads of young people (preferably 18 - 25 year old girls) are likely to go
;D Somewhere hot (hear cyprus is 40 degrees at the minute - want to be able to go outside at some stage)
;D Great night life
;D Preferably more Irish people than English and Germans
;D Reasonably cheap drink and grub
I don't ask for much!! - Any suggestions??

I'm probably showing my age here and its a few years since I was there, but Playa Del Ingles on Gran Canaria is great craic, and the Irish Centre will keep you safe from those pesky foreigners.
Good weather in the Canaries almost guaranteed in September also.

some late deals on there & not too bad price wise.
exactly where I'd go also. been twice & loved it
Fly to Crete stay there for a night then get a ferry up a to a wee Island called Ios. Absolutely fantastic place. Little or no engish. Mostly Ozzies and Irish. The island itself is beautiful. I've been a couple of times now. We always stay at a place called Far Out Camping. You can obviously camp or they have some bungalows you can rent. Great pool with couple of bars. The beach is 10 sec walk, where you have loads of water sports.If you don't want to slum it in basic accomm. there are plenty of smalll hotels and you can still go down to the Far Out Caming pool/bars where everyone seems to go. Ios hasn't really been commercialised which adds to the character. The main town is a small settlement on a hill. Small winding streets full of bistro's, bars and clubs (nightlife is unbelieveable and the weeman surprisingly easy!). Stay on Ios for 5 nights then head back to crete for the last. If you can get cheap enough flights this holiday works out really cheap and you'll have a belter
good stuff so far!!

Try budget travel they should have some cheap enough offers
Yep Budget are usually good for a last minute deal.
Or look at the holiday section of Aertel, you can get that online too.

your bringing back memories hh went there in 2001 with the football club,spent the whole week in the irish centre its wasn't exactlly classy but we had savage craic, i think we drank in the randy lepracun mostly and there were 30 of those in our group alone ;) ;)
I hear Senegal is good craic for a lads holiday...
Would be my idea of hell going on holiday to spend it with "hilarious" Irish folk getting up to "crazy" drunken antics! "Sure it's only a bit of craic Manuel"
No ta!
