    Lads Holiday 2012
    Basically I would like peoples opinions on where is the best destination for a lads holiday in July 2012. Were thinking of Malia at the moment, but other choices include zante, kavos, magaluf, santa ponsa, etc.. were looking for good clubs, cheap drinks and girls everywhere, somewhere that its easy enough to pull. where would be the best place for 2012? thanks.

    I've ended up being roped into Malia. I'd prefer Zante though, because what happens is you can go out, go off on your own, wonder about, then EVERYONE would end up at Cherry Bay, which is a club on the beach open till like 6. Plus it's one straight strip which is always good for drunken navigation.

    Yes but that's the same with kavos and atlantis the club that's right on the beach open till like 6.

    Basically it doesn't matter where you go, you'll have a good time anyway.

    Maga is full of British, both people like me and you, and also workers. Nearly everyone that works out there is from the UK haha.

    It is great fun though, however a bit of the 'British Lad' mentality is out there, people looking for fights etc, so just keep an eye out.

    Might have to go there, I went to Napa last year and I wasn't a fan. I couldn't go on a solo mission. I like to get off my nut and go off on my own, so I need to Zante & Kavos final destinations.

    Re: Lads Holiday 2012
    I went to zante last year, it was alright, nowhere near as busy as magaluf lol I wouldnt go rushing back though.. but if you are going yous will probs want to stay in laganas. We stayed in Kalamaki just because I didnt want to be right in it, so Kalamakis 5 mins in a taxi and has pubs and that which people drank in untill about 1am then moved into laganas.

    Magaluf in my opinion is a more northern crowd but its so busy and amazing! Iv been twice, once with reps and last year i went to Santa Ponsa (mostly full of irish and i dont know why lol) but i went out and got a girl who was with her mum to come into magaluf with me

    A group of lads i know went to Aiya Napa last year and loved it! but said theres more lads than girl..?

    hope this helps

    OOH AH MALIA, SAY OOH AH MALIA!
    in all honesty, malia is by far the best having been to zante, malia and kavos, and had friends gone to magaluf, malia was the best and sounded better than magaluf. That's my opinion of course, but definitely read some reviews
