          Private villa with pool overlooking the sea in the Cyclades - Going in 2 weeks for 3 weeks. Expensive but oh-so-nice, can't wait.

            Nowhere atm.

            Budget blown on a new bathroom this year so no major holiday. I'm semi-benched atm as well so using that as an excuse to do stuff at home instead.

              My Sympathies, I went with the family and a friend. Neither wanted to go to Istanbul.

              The Castle is worth a look but its a long walk up, take change for drinks on the way.

              The pirate ship is fun, take soft drinks/water.

              Walking about at night is much cooler.

                As soon as everyone else's kids go back to school we're off to the Italian Riviera. A little place called Bordighera on the Ligurian coast. Hotel room with balcony overlooking The Med, a private beach and plenty of nice restaurants.

                We were there on a stopover last month and liked it so much we decided to go back for a proper break.

                How about you?
                Technically your will be overlooking the Liguria Sea, not the Mediterranean Sea. If you have been sold a hotel room with a view overlooking the Med be sure to ask for a refund.

                  Had a cheeky week diving in Grenada last month.

                  Off to Tanzania in Sept for a week safari and a week diving in Zanzibar.

                  Bring it on.
                  What is the diving like in Grenada. Had a week in Cancun April 2017. Diving was OK but I'm not sure it was worth the journey. Off to Crete this Sept as I want dive/photograph the Messerschmitt 109 lying just off the coast in about 22m of water.

                    Never been before. Any tips welcome.
                    Which bit are you going to. If you are anywhere near Protaras (East side of Greek Cyprus) then I would recommend a visit to the Turkish side, such a contrast to the Greek side.

                    Also if you are anywhere near Protaras, or Penera, I would recommend Knights Bar in Penera for food and drink. If you want to try scuba diving then get in contact with Daryl Hales or his partner Jo Wruk at Just Scuba Penera, Cyprus.

                      Assuming you are staying in a beach resort take a walk around Kaleici (the old town) especially at night. Very atmospheric. We tended to stay there in a hotel with a pool rather than the beach. Not been for a few years now.
