Boys' weekend away in mid-Sept: recommendations please

[ChimpMaster]

Requirements:
2 or 3 night stay
No more than 3 hour flight
Beach location
Bars nearby
Hopefully good, hot weather
Not full of drunken British louts


Probably end up with the usual Algarve, Palma or Barcelona but would like to see if there are more interesting options around.

[Batcher]

Malta is good, plenty of quiet areas, good cheap bars and food, and the locals speak good English.

[NoddY]

Lisbon
Seville (no beach)

[original PM]

Split or Dubrovnik in Croatia?

[Old Greg]

Sicily.

Palermo for city life. Cefalù or Taormina for beach.

[Old Greg]

Malaga is a great city with a beach. No louts as they stick to the resorts

+1 to that. Did 4 days there on rugby tour this year. Great place.

So not full of drunken British louts, then.

Really? Has it changed then. Was a nightmare last time I was there but it was awhile ago.
