    Holiday for 18 year olds - nightlife but not too over-the-top
    Hi
    just wondered if anyone had gone on holiday anywhere with good nightlife for people around 18 years old but is not as crazy as places such as Malaga?

    Amsterdam tbh.
    Or, I hear North Cyprus is really nice. Much better than Southern Cyprus, where all the tourists flock to. And it's a really chilled and relaxed place to be.

    When do you want to go... Tenerife or Lanzarote will be pretty good for that

    Rhodes is good, has the chilled out Old Town and the harbour, but also a pretty busy Bar Street with a good choice of bars and clubs. Also the old Greek architecture is amazing and the place is a World Heritage site. The beach is only a bus ride away too.

    Me and my friends did this last year. We stayed in a hotel in Stalis, the town neighbouring Malia, and we got the relaxing time in the day, because it was a family orientated hotel and then we'd head into Malia for nights out when we pleased.
    All that failing, Barcelona might be a nice choice.??

    somewhere on costa brava other than lloret, they've all got something going on in the night, and are all close enough to lloret to go for something more over the top

    and close enough to visit barcelona too

    I went to Corfu last year, the greek islands are really nice, we stayed in a hotel with apartments, with our own kitchen etc, we basically sat by the pool, then went out for some cocktails in the evening, just nice relaxing drinks. It's up to you what you want to do though It was a place called Sidari

    Go to Tenerife, stay anywhere but Las Americas ie. Los Cristianos or Costa Adeji and you'll be fine. Very friendly, some decent bars in both but only the bigger clubs are in Las Americas so you can pick and choose.

    Yeah Crete is pretty awesome, think you did the right thing, Malia is a bit of a ******** wouldnt wanna stay there but looks a good night out. Loads of stuff to do in the day aswell, 4x4 tours, spinalonga (leper island) and matala (hippy hang out)

    Zante or Crete I would say are your best bets... cheap and cheerful, got nightlife but also plenty or culture and other things to do.

    We booked for Magaluf... my friends are party animals

    Turkey, from what my friend has told me. Somewhere near Olu Deniz, then you have the nightlife, the beaches and the cheap prices compared to places like Greece and Spain. I think she said it was £300 for a fortnight, with flights and accomodation (maybe food, I can't really remember.)

    I recomend Alburfiera in portugal. Close to Faro airport and has a good nightlife but a real nice place aswell.

    Albufeira is not a nice place. It's just hotels and a beach, it's not pretty, there's no culture, and it's very hilly.
