Alright guys, I'm going to laganas Zante with 7 other mates on the 29th June to the 6th July!

I just wanted to firstly know is it really busy at this time, or is it still a bit dead does it get really busy end of july time? Also I'm thinking of taking about £400 which is about 480 euros! is this enough for the week I'm planning on drinking about six nights with moist spent on pre-drinking, we'll be going out to eat maybe twice in the week but hopefully saving some money cooking at home and the odd subway! Also planning on going on the booze cruise and one day to the water park! Is this enough money for me to take or will I need more or less? Can't wait now only like 9 days!!!

I went May into June and took £350 and came home with about £40
We went out 6 of 7 nights and ate at restaurants on 6 of the nights and ate at the hotel the other night
All of the subways were closed down when I went but 15€ get's you a 2 or 3 course meal and 4 pints of drink then 5€ is 2 drinks and 4 free shots in almost every bar so you should have enough
I went on the Thomson Twenty's booze cruise in addition to another boat trip and a few other themed nights out

Nice one man, I think I'll take a little bit less then, yeah I heard about the 3 courses thing that's quality think I might do that most days then! Cheers was it a good atmosphere when you went, or was it a bit dead? IS it mostly boys or is it pretty even?

[shaun12345]

It doesn't hurt to take more than you need. The exchange rate out there wasn't great and you can get a safe box in your room for about a fiver
Yeah you generally don't eat much during the day then pig out late, they're not small courses either
It wasn't packed like sardines but if you chose the places carefully there was good atmosphere wherever you went
It's definitely not mostly guys, i'd say at the worst its even

The booze cruise went from about 9 until 1 including travel to the dock, but that was only about 10 minutes each way. Think we paid 30something euros, I can't really remember
Took the money in cash and had £50 for emergency and airport taxis

I went a bit after that and it was HEAVING, im pretty sure itll still be pretty busy a little earlier. I think i took about 400eur last year and brought back a fair bit. The most i spent was on the first night when the reps ripped us off 230euros (and just about every single person we spoke to in the hotel had also paid this) for what theyre providing you can go to the same parties for MUCH cheaper. Dont fall for it like us!!

Cheers mate, I'll watch out for that then, think we all wanted to do our own stuff anyway so we'll keep away from the reps!
