17 y/o on lads holiday

A group of 15ish of us want to go on a drinking holiday after A levels. This will likely be in late June but 2 of us don’t have our bdays until August. Do they care and will we be let into clubs in places like Zante, Kavos etc

I was going to say as long nobody looks like a lickle baby haha. As long as you are 17 and as there are a lot of you, they hardly look. Only saying from experience.

If you look that young, I'd just keep a bit of a low profile. Do the others look 18+, or the majority of them, anyway?

I went to Maga as soon as I turnt 18 and trust me I looked like a 15 year old and they never asked me for Id 😂
I expect you might have difficulty booking a holiday as your age will have to be known by the airline (and travel company if you have a package deal). Some hotels are reluctant to take groups of young men as well.

You should be OK then, but you might run into problems here and there. As I say, you and any other underage participants who clearly look underage should try to keep a relatively low profile, so as not to draw attention to you as a group. In the end, if the rest of them are happy to accept underage members as part of the group, then you just have to be smart about it and negotiate any problems as and when they arise.

I presumed if the person booking is 18 it’s fine. Also, surely hotels in club areas will get half of their revenue from young men. We aren’t trying to stay in anything fancy, we just need beds

You’ll be fine, they don’t seem to care 😂 when I went to one of the clubs though a security guard asked me how old I was and I said my age and he didn’t question it so that’s the only encounter I had out there 😂
