I’ve got a week or so off 26th July, thinking of doing a solo trip for a few days - somewhere sunny - I’m in my 50s so Club 18-30s not my style.
Any suggestions -
Oh and I’d like it cheap!

Croatia
Beddau.
Malta is fantastic with loads of history, beaches and lovely restaurants. The pound was very high against the Euro when I last went but obviously won't be as cheap for you now.
Be aware though that the heat in Malta in the middle of summer can be very oppressive.
Depends entirely what you want to do, what's perfect for one person is a nightmare for another.
Bulgaria. Sunny Beach south. Cheap as chips and sunny. 30 mins from airport. My wife was very sceptical when I booked it 2 years ago but afterwards she said "not as bad as I thought, i quite enjoyed it" . Imagine costa del sol in the 70s with russians. Did I mention cheap. Best place to book bulkan holidays. Under £ a pint in places. Went there 2 years ago and going this year as well. If you hate it you will have enough money to go somewhere else. Did i mention it was cheap!
Faroe Islands
Malta sounds like a good idea - went there for a friendly with Wales in the 80s would like to go back again!
Thanks for that suggestion.
Bulgaria sounds like a good one as well - I would have thought it would have been infested with Eastern European mafia, but is there any one place there you would recommend as an “English” resort?
Thanks chaps!
Ibiza-It's a wonderful place.Quote:

Have a look at Sun Club El Dorado in Majorca it’s is kind of like centre Parcs / bluestone but in the sun.
Our whole extended family do 1 week each year as it offerers a bit of everything. Apartments with all inclusive food and drink at a good price.
Animation team that run activities every hour every day like tennis, soccer, ping pong ect popular with families / kids / old and single a really good mix
Cheap, school holidays start this Friday. You should have gone a few weeks ago......

Get on a bus and travel the coast to Burgas and Varna as well. Also got to Sozopol and book a night there - it is a great little place, really cheap and the beach is superb there. It comes alive at night and isn't quite as boisterous as Sunny Beach - quite refined in fact.Quote:

Plan a day well and you can fit in all the shows which have outstanding live action battle reenactments/Roman amphitheatre with chariot racing etc. The stunts are amazing. If you want to impress a 14 yr old. Go.Quote:
